⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We spent our wedding anniversary weekend at Stay Unique, and it was absolutely fabulous! What stood out was the exceptional cleanliness, the attention to detail and the team’s warm, professional communication. From the moment we booked, everything was handled with care. This level of hospitality is something you rarely experience. The cabin was spotless, secluded and felt safe, giving us the perfect setting to relax and celebrate. Everything was exactly as advertised, and the experience was worth every cent. A personal thank you to Ant, Joe and Chris for going to such lengths to make our anniversary so memorable. You clearly take pride in what you do, and it shows in every detail. We cannot recommend Stay Unique highly enough. If we could give you ten out of five stars, we would! Hats off, guys. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. We will definitely see you again next year! Louis & Lientjie

Ceci cabin and its amenities around it was fantastic. We spent 3 nights here and it was the silence surrounding us that was satisfying. The location was great looking into the mountains. Being South African it’s always a concern for security as the hideaway is not on a secure farm but we had no issues. We will return again to one of the other locations to explore.

We had an absolutely wonderful 2-night stay at this cabin! The outside jacuzzi was top notch and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Everything about this place felt so wonderfully unique just like the Name “STAY UNIQUE and peaceful. Our host was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a flawless getaway. We loved every minute of our time here and cannot wait to come back!

The best honeymoon destination we could ask for. Our stay was superb and there was more than enough of everything we needed, be it wood to water to fire lighters. The only improvement to consider would be a bigger dustbin/alternatively one outside of the cabin that is ‘animal-smart’ to avoid baboons from enjoying leftovers. All in all a great experience!

My boyfriend and I loved every moment. The quiet serenity and peace of the cabin, being alone in nature is the perfect get away. Rockpool hike is a must! So beautiful! We will definitely be booking again! It has everything that you need, a fully equipped little home, air fryer to hot water bottles. Stay unique was in constant touch with us, ensuring we are happy, comfortable and relaxed.

A deeply relaxing and secluded getaway amongst the mountains. The cabin is incredibly well crafted and the stay unique team have been incredibly thoughtful and communicative. It’s wonderful to arrive and self check in and the mystery of getting there felt like we had discovered treasure. We spent nights watching Venus and the moon from the deck. Can’t wait to return.

The Ceci Cabin is beautiful and very safe, and the owners are incredibly responsive to any questions. I loved the pool and the indoor shower, which allows you to still feel like you’re outdoors while being inside. I only wish the outdoor shower and bathtub had warm water, but otherwise, it was a fantastic experience. I look forward to booking a different cabin in the future!

Thank you for such an incredible stay. Sena Cabin exceeded every expectation and was the perfect escape to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to switch off and simply enjoy being surrounded by nature. The cabin is beautifully designed, with every detail thoughtfully considered, and the panoramic views were truly unforgettable. Waking up to those breathtaking landscapes and ending each day watching the sunset was something really special. Thank you for creating such a unique and memorable space. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already talking about when we’ll be back. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sena Cabin to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway with some of the most stunning views imaginable.

This was truly a five star exceptional experience. We stayed in Zola cabin, and the pictures did not do it justice. The location is beautiful, the cabin is stocked with everything you need, you feel cosy, intimate, and just so at peace. My partner and I needed a getaway that helped us disconnect and simply just forget about everything, and this was the space. We enjoyed the hot tub, took a bubble bath while the sunset, walked the valley and woke up every morning completely in awe of the sunrise and the view. Take the moment. Book a cabin. Go off the grid. Just be in nature and take it all in. Absolutely spectacular and we plan to come back again next year.

We had an incredibly restful and restorative stay at the Luna cabin. The views from the bed and the deck were breathtaking and waking up to the sounds of birds was very comforting. Sipping on a cocktail in the hot tub in the evening and lying on the hammock under the stars at night were definite highlights. Will definitely be booking another stay unique cabin in the near future.

We had such a lovely stay. From the moment we booked, you could tell how much thought goes into the guest experience. The WhatsApp messages before and during our stay made everything feel so personal, and the online guest portal was well put together. It had everything we needed in one place, was easy to navigate, and made the whole process feel effortless. The cabin itself was beautiful. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, from the decor to the stocked cupboards, and the views were even better in person. It was the perfect place to slow down, switch off and enjoy a few days away. Thank you for creating such a special place. Safe to say I've already been recommending you to everyone who asked where we stayed. We can't wait to visit the other cabins too!

The cabin is beautifully done with lots of attention to detail. It is special to have an outside hot bath, outside and inside shower as well as a wood fired hot tub. My only comment is that the design of their hot tub is not as efficient as other hot tub designs (e.g. Kolkol) and therefore requires more time and attention to reach desired temp.

We had the most incredible stay at the Sena cabin and cannot recommend this cabin enough. What made this trip so special was the quality time I got to spend with my daughter. It was such a beautiful bonding experience, and that time together is something we will both treasure. The cabin offered so much more than just a getaway. It gave us the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and simply be present. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, I felt my mind and body completely reset. The peace, quiet, and natural beauty created the perfect environment to unwind, recharge, and make memories that we’ll cherish for years to come. The handwritten welcome card was such a thoughtful touch and immediately made us feel at home. The hot tub under the stars and the cosy fireplace were absolute highlights and made the experience even more magical. I even tried to extend our stay because neither of us wanted to leave but unfortunately, every cabin was fully booked! That says everything about how special this place is. We left feeling rested, reconnected, and incredibly grateful for such a beautiful escape. We are already looking forward to returning.

★★★☆☆

The location is breath-taking, and the outdoor bath was a lovely touch, but the cabin itself is quite cramped, cheaply built, and frankly overpriced compared to other luxury cabins we've stayed at. Just looks like thin chipboard throughout and a bit 'unfinished', and the furniture also looks a bit cheap. We struggled to find the hiking trail and were disappointed when we arrived at the rock pool, which appeared to look nothing like the promotional videos. Perhaps there was considerably shallower water or we'd arrived at the wrong spot, but the hike should be more clearly marked from the cabin. We had a great time, but we felt the 'luxury' feel was lacking in respect to the cabin's interior. There was not even a drying rack for our dishes, so we just had to lie them on the counter top. There was also a problem with the blind, which collapsed when we opened it on the morning of our departure. All in all, a fantastic location that is just a bit let down by the cabin build and features.

Absolutely amazing. If you want to unwind and experience quietness at its best, this is the place. Very private and tranquil. The outside bath is an experience on its own. We will definitely be back. Birdlife is amazing, beautiful sugar birds and the vast array of the protea species. 5 star facility.

We had a wonderful stay at the Ceci cabin. The scenery is beautiful. Security is reassuring. Customer service is excellent. The bar fridge only takes so much- an additional cooler box filled with ice would be advisable although one is provided. The bed is extremely comfortable with good quality linen that doesn't make you sweat. The pool/ reservoir with the mountain view is delicious, no matter the time of day. No need for kitchen, hand and body wash- enough is provided. We're looking forward to exploring the other cabin stays offered by Stay Unique.

We had the most incredible stay in the Luna Cabin. It’s the perfect escape to unwind, breathe, and reconnect with nature. The cabin is beautifully designed, and the views are absolutely jaw-dropping. One of the highlights was sitting in the hot tub late at night, stargazing in complete peace and quiet. I can’t say enough about how special this place is — I would give it 10 stars if I could. Absolutely loved every moment and highly recommend it.

We had a great stay at Ceci Cabin - what a beautiful and unique place. Our hosts went the extra mile to keep us comfortable, warm, and safe when we got trapped by the recent winter storm that struck Ceres and surrounds in the Western Cape. We had no shortage of solar battery power and firewood, and were all cozy and cared for while the storm battered the cabin for a good two days. On either side of the storm we got to enjoy the beautiful, serene, and private piece of nature which the cabin invites inside through ample glass doors that fold away completely. Definitely hoping to go back one day! This was truly a unique stay, no doubt.
