Tsitsikamma Village Inn

The Tsitsikamma Village Inn, established in 1841, is a historic hotel nestled in Storms River Village along South Africa's Garden Route. This privately owned and managed establishment features 49 unique rooms, each decorated to reflect different Cape Colony building styles from the 1800s, arranged around a traditional Village green.

The main building, dating back to 1845, houses several dining venues including De Oude Martha Restaurant, Hunter's Pub, and Cafe Bacchus. A notable attraction is Marilyn's 60's Diner, which celebrates the era with memorabilia and themed cuisine. The property also features the Tsitsikamma Microbrewery, offering craft beers and ales.

Originally serving as a stopover for travelers for over a century, the inn has evolved into a full-service hotel while maintaining its historic charm. The property includes The Barn, converted from 1800s stables into modern guest rooms in 1996, featuring amenities such as air conditioning, television, and tea/coffee facilities. A Victorian-style honeymoon cottage caters to couples seeking a romantic getaway.

Family-friendly facilities include a swimming pool and jungle gym. The hotel serves as an ideal base for exploring the Tsitsikamma area and National Park, with activities including mountain biking, hiking, black water tubing, kayaking, and canopy tours. The property also features a conference venue set within its gardens and maintains high standards of service and comfort while preserving its historical character.

The establishment is notable for its proximity to the Tsitsikamma National Park and position as the area's only full-service hotel, maintaining a reputation for excellent cuisine and traditional hospitality.
