Nice property with a small, but nicely decorated pool. The restaurant was reasonably priced and fairly good (vegetarian options). The rooms were good for the price, and the lobby is very nice. Some of the staff were really great, but also some were a bit rude. One annoying thing is that you have to pay the deposit for the key in cash, but when we checked out they did not have any cash left so we they deducted it from our bill using card. Normally this would be ok, but as there are no ATMs in the Tofo area, this was a big problem for us, and something the hotel should not be doing to their customers.

Turtle cove comes highly advertised and praised, and even though we had little to complain about, we also could not make up our minds, what stood out and was really great. The actual acc is spacious and was clean. The ground was well maintained and we used the "lappa" to prepare our lunch under palm trees. The "communal" side of Turtle Cove has definitely the younger, backpacking traveler in mind, and offers some couches and benches where wifi assisted, one can have a conversation in privat, with those left at home. The menu is ok, nothing to write home about, but there are plenty of restaurants in Tofo to choose from. The staff is friendly knowledgeable and always eager to assist. The beach is some 20-30min on foot away, and it looked safe enough to walk there. Would I recommend Turtle Cove, Yes!? Would I go there again? I think I would try another acc in Tofo just to see something new. …

The place is pretty, beautiful garden, nice restaurant, nice pool. But the service is bad. When we arrived we were ignored. When ordering food we either waited for ages or didn’t get it at all and needed to order again. Some of the staff didn’t really seem to enjoy what they were doing there. The atmosphere between owner and staff seems very tense. Maybe that’s why.

This place is so cute. I stayed for 5 nights in a private room. Very affordable price. Just Friday was a bit loud because of the hotel in the back, the other nights I slept great. It’s very windy and I went in June so no need for fan. The staff and the owner are very nice. The food was good, healthy alternative to what I have been eating normally. I also did 2 yoga classes. It’s a bit far and dark to walk back at night if you have no car but thankfully it’s a very safe place.

Stayed in Turtle Cove for almost a week for New Year with friends in one of the rooms with 3 single bed. The experience was not pleasant as the air circulation in the room was bad. The temperature in the room can get crazy high during the day and remain quite hot at night, so there were a few nights that became quite unbearable for all of us to fall asleep, and no fan was provided when we requested one, The room is very basic without any facilities, but if you only look for a place to crash for a night or on a low-budget trip, then you can consider about this, otherwise, I do NOT recommend for anyone to stay in the 3 single bed room until the room condition improved. The toilet is shared with other guests, no hot water or light in the shower. The common area of the place e.g. restaurant, lobby etc, are nicely decorated. Staff are quite friendly.…

I had such a lovely time in Turtle Cove, it has an amazing energy, the gardens are beautiful, the rooms are super comfortable and clean, the yogshala is one of the most amazing I have ever seen, the staff is super friendly and always happy to help, the food and drinks are delicious. And it is just 10 min walk from the beach, so what else can you ask?

We absolutely loved our stay at the Turtle Cove Lodge. It was worth coming to Tofo just to stay there. The service, food, location, yoga classes, friendly ambience could not have been better. The only negative was a rooster in the house/yard next to the lodge waking us up early in the morning. But that’s Mocambique 😊
