This place is not cheap, but it is a place you'll remember. The lodge is beautifully situated, with most of the rooms having beautiful views towards the Great Fish River Mouth (try to avoid the twin room!). One can easlily forget that the road is so close. The beach is fabulous (but the road is tough!), and the pool is... More

We started our first trip to S.A. with this wonderful stay at Fort d'Acre: endless beaches, nature all around (even from the spacious upstairs suite!) and still feeling cosy in the beautifully decorated and comfortable lodge. We loved the setting, the room, the pool, the animals, the beach lapa........but most of all we liked the super friendly, attentive and competent... More

We stayed at Fort D'Acre in April 2012 and had a wonderful time. We had the upstairs suite which was 5 star accommodation with fantastic views. We woke up to see giraffes wandering through the grounds in the morning, and also had access to a beautiful private beach. Lammy is both professional and very friendly. She shows great attention to... More

Fort D'Acre is quite simply paradise! My husband and I were lucky enough to get married on the beautiful beach lapa overlooking the Kleinemonde Beach and our reception was held in the gardens of Fort D'Acre. Lammy went out of her way to assist us and nothing was to big a task for her to do! She made our friends... More

We stayed for 3 nights and had a wondeful experience in this lodge. Excellent rooms with fantastic views, spacious and nicely decorated living and dining area. The service and breakfast was excellent. The most fabulous experience is to go down to the private nearly untouched beach. What a special experience to walk along a wide sandy wild beach. The lunch... More

A wonderful lodge,comfortable and very well equipped. Lammy made us very welcome and looked after our every need. The setting is beautiful with views over the Great Fish River Mouth and the game reserve. A good base for exploring the area or just relaxing with the odd trip to the beach lapa, a clamber over the dunes down onto a... More

We stayed over at Fort D'Acre for only only one night but wish it could have been more! We had the whole of the Hunting Lodge to ourselves, which is not unusual, and were able to make ourselves at home.

Fort d'Acre exceeded our expectations in all respects. What's so great about it? 1. The lodge is beautifully situated with 3/4 rooms having views towards the Great Fish river mouth and over the reserve. Room size and ensuite were far bigger than I had expected. Servicing of rooms was top class. 2. The beach is fabulous. We are talking white... More
