Grand Africa Rooms and Rendezvous
"Stunning boutique hotel, the room we stayed in was huge with a balcony and ocean view. It was so beautifully decorated, the bathroom was stunning with a free standing bath, double shower and basin. The restaurant is stunning as well and the food was delicious. Overall the service we received from when we arrived was exceptional! I would recommend this to any traveler and will definitely be back for a longer stay next time! (Be sure to book the rooms upstairs and ask for one with a balcony as not all have).
Great location in the heart of Plett, parking is on the street but there is plenty available."Show more

Formosa Bay
"We stayed at Formosa for 4 nights while road tripping the Garden Route. The place was gorgeous and staff very accommodating and friendly. Onsite swimming pools and laundromat came in very handy during our trip!
We did find the service and quality of dishes of the on premises restaurant lacking. The location is ideal for exploring Plettenberg Bay and surrounding areas :)
Due to the current drought in the area we were asked to use our bath water for the toilet cistern which we were happy to fully support but they only provide a big bucket to put the water in which made it challenging to get the water out of the bath into the bucket and subsequently the cistern which ensued in a watery mess in the bathroom every time you use the bathroom."Show more

Very unusual setting but great, disappointing first impression with staff but the second day was good when we met the owner.... expensive place to stay but great for a special occasion. We got married whilst staying here and wanted to get married (with no guests) on the premises but it appeared expensive so we did it on the beach then came back for a meal which was lovely and the staff were very attentive and kind. Would definitely go back as the food was one of the best meals we had in South Africa and the staff seemed lovely."Show more

Bayview Hotel
"The Bayview is a basic hotel and priced and pitched as such. For me it was perfect except for one main reason. When rooms are vacant, it is the practice of this hotel to leave the room door open and ajar. On my floor, all but 3 rooms seemed to be vacant, open and ready for anyone who wanted to get past the rather casual reception to use for any purpose. In South Africa I feel this presents an unacceptable security risk for no perceivable benefit to management or guests."Show more

Singing Kettle Beach Lodge
"We stayed in studio 6, which is the furthest away from the restaurant and still had great views along the beach and the twinkling lights of Plettenberg. The studio was the height of luxury with solid wood furniture, loads of pure linen cushions, the very best bedlinen and excellent lighting. We had a large terrace overlooking the beach with dining table and chairs and two large comfortable sunbeds. The only problem was that the unshaded terrace got full sun all afternoon, which also heated up the room. However, the powerful ceiling fans did help to combat the heat. They provide muesli, yoghurt and fresh fruit everyday, so you really did not need any other breakfast. Enrico's restaurant did not cause us any disturbance at all. The live music was just one guy with a guitar, which you could not hear over the sound of the crashing waves anyway. The problem was that the restaurant was constantly full and they do not take bookings, so it was a bit of a struggle to get a table."Show more

Robberg Beach Lodge - Lion Roars Hotels & Lodges
"The staff at this hotel are trying extremely hard to ensure the comfort of guests. Once we found it (not at all easy if you don't know the area), we were warmly welcomed. A car is essential as the hotel is some distance away from the town centre. Dinner on our first night was excellent, though not a cheap option, the homemade bread was divine. There is room for improvement in some areas - our TV did not work properly and the aircon was erratic, also the grounds could have been made more attractive. Overall we were comfortable and there was masses of room. Ask for a sea view."Show more

Umtu Bed and Breakfast
"I stayed 5 places in 1 week during my round SA trip. Only negative review of the 5. This was the most expensive place and the smallest by far. Owners were nice but the biggest issue is what I received for how much I paid. R400 for one night. Tiny tiny room with a comfy single bed but hard pillows. Tiny old TV 2.5m in the air and an old tube screen. GIANT shower was great and strange for such a tiny room. Tiny trailer sink I could not even get my hands under to wash. Strange wall mounted kettle you have to pour a cup of water into carefully and not spill on the lamp. But no milk packet or power so no coffee. Dogs barking through the night. Cars speeding by as next to the road. Garages but you much park in their non secure drive in front of the garages and take your chances. Construction all over and main road is blocked. Nice pub and place to eat within walking distance and breakfast was nice but serve yourself and cold meats and cheese and bread and service yourself. For R250-300 I would have had little reason to complain. I was polite but ready to get on my way. Too small and not a good location with no secure parking? Nice garden as well but I did not sleep in the garden. Hope they listen and make this room half the price and explain better their cash only policy and non secure parking. Hate to be negative but unless you are a very small person this is not the place for you. Especially for this price."Show more

"The hostel has a bar, so you can't take alcohol and drink it there. As the room was just on a side of the bar we could hear people chatting and drinking at the bar till late. If you don't have room view, it doesn't matter because the bar is in front of the ocean and has better views that the room as there's a big tree in front of the room. Shannon and the other lady working there are so nice and helpful.
For being at the beach and around is so good, for going to the city center and out of city you need the car or you hike up the mountain.
The breakfast was very good. (Yummy)."Show more

the rooms are huge, the interior is calm and comfortable and very clean.
the communal kitchen for coffee making is a nice idea, but uncomfortable if you want some tea late at night and have to walk outside with your pj's. it is nice though that you are able to use their microwave, fridge and freezer and they are more than willing to assist you with ice and cold water.
the staff were more than helpful and very friendly.
the breakfast was delicious and plentiful (although my husband was kinda grumpy as he didnt realise they wont serve "hot" food).
the cars were a bit noisy at the side were our room was. nothing you can do about that though. we'll just remember to not take that room next time.
all in all i was completely satisfied and highly surprised by the low accommodation rate for the quality of the lodge.

The restaurant was a bit overpriced and we were confused that there was a seperate gate for restaurant visitors where anybody could get access to the premises. Very unsafe.

Breakfast at Christiana Lodge is a lavish affair with good coffee, fruit salad, a wonderful local cereal and a choice of eggs or crepes. Wonderful!
We will be back as we really love that place. Thanks Christa and your staff - you are doing a wonderful job here!"Show more

Anlin Beach House
"What a great surprise, coming over from the US we weren't so sure what to expect. We arrived and Fran was welcoming can catered to our every need. The location was close to the beach which was awesome as we had a two year old and getting back and forth was quick and easy. Getting around town was quick as well as reaching the N2 to visit tourist spot around Plett. The room was way better than expected and breakfast was one of our highlights while sitting on the patio. One thing is for sure and that is that we will be back!"Show more

Periwinkle Guest Lodge
"We reached Periwinkle after a 6 hour drive from Cape Town. It was nice to be greeted with friendly staff who brought us around for a tour of the lodge, informing us where the facilities were. The room was nice, clean and comfortable with a view of the ocean. We woke up early to chill by the balcony and enjoyed the sun rise. Definitely recommended stay. It is just a 5 mins drive from the city centre where the restaurants are located."Show more

Alkantmooi Nature Reserve Keursee
"Very nice........but, having the best facilities is only as good as the the privacy the accommodation can offer.
We were able to hear the person in the next unit snore at night.
We were in unit 4 which shares a "dry wall" with the next unit.
It is such a pity because everything else is nearly perfect.

"There are no cons, only pros. On arrival UP gives you a full run down of local attractions and the many places to eat. There is a wealth of information to hand which helps you understand the local area. The rooms are well appointed and airy and the ocean side rooms have great views. The breakfast room had similar views and the breakfasts are substantial and beautifully cooked. In all a great place to stay"Show more

Southern Cross Beach House
"The stay was great even though on business and not holiday. The onkly downside for a business traveller is that breakfast is not served until way after 08h00 and niether is the office open before 08h00 which is inconvenient when one has appointments to get to.
Fer a holiday, great venue with close access to the beach.

Edenbrook Country House
"When we arrived we waited for quite some time before we were let into the gates. We rang the bell & called the phone number as instructed on the entry point. We then rudely had to honk repeatedly for someone's attention. We were then met by the only person we saw on duty Marc. He was friendly, warm & went out of he's way to assist wherever possible, but seemed to be running everywhere. On a property that has this many rooms, lack of staff was evident, especially since it was a busy long weekend.
We were given a family room that looked nothing like the images they had on their site. The room was new & smelt badly of fresh paint. Not great as both my wife & eldest son is asthmatic. We opened the backdoor to let the smell out, but could not shut it again. Poor Marc had to deal with sanding it whilst we left. The location was deep in the back of the property in between the trees, which made the room unbearably cold. The staff are lovely, but they could do with some help over busy periods."Show more

Robberg Beach Lodge - Lion Roars Hotels & Lodges
"The staff at this hotel are trying extremely hard to ensure the comfort of guests. Once we found it (not at all easy if you don't know the area), we were warmly welcomed. A car is essential as the hotel is some distance away from the town centre. Dinner on our first night was excellent, though not a cheap option, the homemade bread was divine. There is room for improvement in some areas - our TV did not work properly and the aircon was erratic, also the grounds could have been made more attractive. Overall we were comfortable and there was masses of room. Ask for a sea view."Show more

Plettenberg Park Hotel
"Plettenberg Park is situated in a stunning location on top of a cliff a few kilometres from the centre of Plettenberg Bay. The views of the sea and the rocks are beautiful. The hotel is very well appointed. Our room was enormous and very comfortable. We ate at the hotel both nights of our stay and the food was excellent. The staff were all really helpful and friendly. The day we left we needed to leave early and the staff arranged an early breakfast for us.
There were a few minor niggles like being given the wrong room to begin with and no hairdryer in the room. Also, the shower cubicle needs redoing as the grout and round the door was maybe not as clean as it could have been. But they were minor points and in no way spoilt what was a lovely stay."Show more

Traveler impressions of Plettenberg Bay
Such a lovely pleasant town, with great vibes and cafe culture in the city centre. It's close proximity to The Crags, where one can do Africanyoning (highly recommend), walking with cheetahs and a few other animal enclosures and wine estates.
Maryanne, Singapore
Excellent town for a stop over on the South African garden route great views and walking wide open beaches.

The Garden Route of South Africa is said to stretch from Mossel Bay all the way over to St. Francis. Halfway along this route is Plettenberg Bay, an excellent spot to stop for travelers touring the entire attraction, especially for those who prefer something closer to the beach. It’s also an excellent destination for lovers of marine life. Travelers can reach this coastal resort via flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg thanks to Plettenberg Bay Airport.

Surfing in the bay, snorkeling, and diving are other activities that allow travelers to truly take in the surroundings. Away from the water, there is still fun to be had. Birds of Eden is the largest enclosed aviary in the world, and Goose Valley Golf Estate provides a picturesque setting for a tee-off.
