Platbos is really a very special place and a wonderful initiative overall. We loved our stay in Bush Buck: it's a wonderful design and setting, blending effortlessly and silently with the forest environment - which is itself a treasure. A place to connect again with yourself and other living things. Great value for money...

Our Platbos mini break was absolutely wonderful. The inspirational tranquility that the forest and ancient trees instill in the visitor is superlative. The accommodation is beautiful,comfortable and right in the heart of the forest. It is difficult to leave Platbos . Thank You ! Krige family for being the custodians of this magical forest, and for sharing it with us.

Tranquil; never spend so much time reading and "just be" between the animals. I loved the woodpecker and other visitors! If you are one with nature, you will enjoy it.
