Plettenberg Bay hotels

Pros: Very friendly and helpfull host.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We had an excellent stay and actually felt like home. Adrienne gave us a very warm welcome and gave us some advice where to have dinner. Bernie explained us how to hike Robberg Island, which was amazing. Thank you very much to both of you.

Pros: The entire package made our stay a most memorable experience. Very highly recommended

Pros: The location was perfect for a stop off whilst driving the garden route- the property is very close to several great restaurants, activities such as dolphin and whale watching and a short walk to the beach, in a lovely secluded area. Plettenberg itself is a real gem. The property is gorgeous and the rooms very clean and beautifully decorated.The room was fully equipped with everything that you might need, split over two floors (Finch room)- so that the bedroom and bathroom were "upstairs" and the lounge and kitchen were downstairs. It was like being in your own house. There was a private outdoor space, BBQ and seating area- a great touch. Plenty of fresh towels, bath robes and crisp bed linen made it a very comfy stay indeed. We didn't get the chance to use the pool, but it was perfectly set up for relaxing with plenty of space and relaxing loungers, set in a lovely garden. Offers of restaurant bookings and further assistance, as well as an extensive guide to the area and discount vouchers were very welcome. The breakfast was well prepared and delicious- with a buffet and cooked breakfast along with great coffee. Highly recommended and exceptional value for money. Staff and owners were very welcoming, it really was like being at home. Thank you, we will be back :)

Cons: nothing, we were very happy with our stay and wished we could have stayed longer!

Pros: The location was perfect and right on the beach. We could walk to The Grand at Lookout which was ideal. The breakfasts were very good.

Cons: The bed was very soft and we found ourselves in the middle of the bed struggling to climb out. We are not big people at all. The towels were very small and not very thick. I expected a more ‘luxurious’ towel. The WIFI didn’t work at all in our room (#12) and the staff acted as though it was my phone. Yet it was the same for both of us.

Cons: Although the reception staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast staff were not and didn't seem to want to help.

Cons: the wind!

Pros: Excellent location. Good rooms , pity the restaurant not open in the evening.

Pros: An oasis of calm just outside PE. Close to shops and the marine drive (so restaurants close by). Room was stunning. Nicely decorated and presented. Lovely and clean with a nice bathroom and a lovely bed. Our room had a nice sofa to sink into and a nice table (which came in useful when we got a take out). Breakfast was simple but nicely presented and good quality. Really nice looking pool but it was a little cold (which we chickened out using). Could not fault the place. Thank you Christine!

Pros: EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN AND THE STAFF WERE ATTENTIVE

Cons: IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND BECAUSE YOU GAVE US A 2ND AV ADDRESS WHILE THE PLACE WAS CRN MARINE & LODGE, I THINK.

Pros: I liked that the breakfast is served near the pools

Cons: I did not like there is a lot of noise at the property especially at night. Sleeping is not enjoyable.

Pros: Just love Plett

Cons: Nothing

The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. The lodge is a short walk to the beach..where you can walk for at least 2km in either direction..bliss! We also had sufficient privacy

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Great and large room. Wonderful ocean view during breakfast. Breakfast was live cooked and service was excellent.

Pros: Cleanliness efficient friendly and great value

Pros: Very nice lodge in Plettenberg Bay, one of our best accomodations while travelling through SA. Next time we would book a room with a better view. Easy access to Robberg Island, in walking distance. Restaurants and shops are in the centre but you need a car to get there if you don't want to walk so far. The lodge has also a shuttle service you can use. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcomed. The breakfast is very good, they have also vegan options if needed. We really enjoyed the time there. It is in a good location with a lot of things you can do.

Cons: Everything! The design, the service, the location - all excellent !

Pros: Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. It's exactly what the name says ("country escape")

Pros: The stuff were super friendly and very helpful.. the villa is well made and cozy.. great place for family holidays and trips

Cons: Weak signal

Pros: Just perfect.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: This place is why the booking ratings should be read very carefully. The hosts here are very nice and the views are fabulous. But here is where the good ends. The location is horrible. 20 minutes from the city and the last 5 minutes are in a remote dirt road. Don’t drive at night. We lived in a 3-bedroom apartment that was not even part of the facility. Remote away from the pool and the main facilities and without WiFi and almost no reception (not ok that they told us that only when we arrived). Not everything is bad. If you are looking for a remote and secluded place with beautiful surroundings, this is the place for you. It is all about managing expectations. And nothing prepared us for this...

Pros: The accommodation and its owners were indescribably warm and helpful. They gave us valuable tips about Plettenberg and South Africa. The accommodation is a dream for everyone who wants to get away from all and who is looking for a special experience. The rooms are large and comfortably furnished with everything you need. On the complex, you can find animals and you have various possibilities to relax in the hammock or to listen to the sounds of the animals on the porch. It was simply great.

Pros: Excellent stay at this property! We booked two nights but wish we would've booked more! Owners are super friendly and helpful, the best stay in S-A so far! Would definitely return!

Pros: What a lovely place!!! A beautiful pool and nice sofas close to the fireplace. The host even surprised us with a braai!! What a perfect stay!

Pros: Hospitality of the hosts Jenny and Chris was outstanding, especially their restaurant recommendations and table booking service

Cons: There was nothing to complain about

Pros: The farm is stunning, the room was nice and comfort, breakfast was delicious, great location. Best hosts i met racently, gave so many good advises about the area, activities, restaurants and more. They made everything to make our vacation perfect.

Cons: Not that I can think of

Pros: Beautiful, large room. Lovely facilities. Well cooked, filling breakfast. Accomodating, friendly host- we were going to be slightly late that day checking in due to our travel plans. We informed the owner who stated that this would not be a problem, just to call her when we arrived and she would come around to let us in.

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Pros: The best cooked breakfast we have ever had

Cons:

Pros: The host and hostess. The food was also very good.

Cons:

Pros: The guesthouse is beautifully decorated. From the garden, there is a beautiful view of the sea and beach. You can exit from the property straight onto a boardwalk that leads you down to the beach, so it is perfect for a walk or day on the beach. The breakfast had loads of options and you could sit outside, watching the sea, when the weather was good! The host helped us with restaurant and activity recommendations.

Cons: While the location was brilliant for the beach, it is further from town and so you need to drive/taxi to nearby restaurants. So long as you know this, then it is a good place to stay!

Pros: Lovely dog, breakfast with a view, loved the omelet & breakfast muffin. Very clean

Cons: Water wasn't provided

Pros: Access to the beach takes 1 minute!

Pros: - Friendly host Wendy, offered help for getting a reservation in recommended restaurants in Plettenberg Bay. - Nice design of the house, nice furniture and design. In the evening it is ligtted, looks great. - Terrace and garden with ocean view. We spotted some dolphins close to the beach while having a coffee and some rusks (included in the accommodation) in the afternoon. Definitely worth for relaxing and enjoying the weather. Robberg Nature Reserve can be seen from the garden. - Good breakfast on the terrace (if the weather is fine, otherwise indoor): Tasty English breakfast and Pancakes, fresh fruits, fresh orange juice, yogurt, milk, freshly baked muffins, and some more, but these were our personal highlights. - if it is windy and getting a little bit colder: the mattress on the bed has a heater function so that it is comfortable warm. We liked it :-) - Robberg Nature Reserve is only a 10 minutes drive away. We spent a whole day there for hiking the complete Nature Reserve. - supermarket and petrol station is near by (approx. 5 minutes drive). We had some sushi at the supermarket as take away for dinner and enjoyed it in the garden, enjoying the ocean sounds. - We were lucky and met some nice people during our stay, so that we spent the evening in the living room together. Very nice that this guesthouse has a living room for all guests.

Cons: - We had the smallest room which looked quite nice and we definitely enjoyed it. As we had two big luggage it was a little bit tricky to manage it, but it was possible :-) This guesthouse has other rooms which are bigger, so next time we try to get a bigger one.

Pros: This is a lovely large guesthouse overlooking the beach and a short drive out of town. The grounds are beautifully maintained and you can easily walk down to the beach via the boardwalk right next to the house. The breakfast was served outside but under cover and was very generous and excellent. We were given very good dinner reservations by our host and her advice was excellent. The house was nice and quiet and we particularly enjoyed the sound of the waves crashing on the beach I think the evening and morning.

Cons: There is nothing negative to say about this place it was great.

Cons: Children not welcome. Young dog not used to children. Room service good. Inflexible and bossy Manager.

Pros: Lovely rooms, lovely breakfast and nice to be so close to the beach.

Pros: Everything was perfect.

Pros: We were met by Wendy the manager who gave us a comprehensive introduction to the Southern Cross Beach house, so we knew where everything was and unexpectedly the fridge had beer, wine and snacks with an honesty box. The views were stunning from the garden and it was lovely just to sit in the garden and watch the bird life and listen to the surf below!! Even watched dolphins just off the shore! The room was very clean, well decorated and comfortable. We were able just to step out of the garden gate and go down the board walk to the beach. Wendy was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and was even prepared to book us one. Breakfast was served out in the garden which was idyllic and delicious. All in all a great stay and would recommend highly.

Cons: The only thing was that, presumably the owners had guests on the second floor on an open balcony and were quite noisy which meant we ended up going in rather than sitting and enjoying the peaceful setting but they didn't carry on too late but we didn't know that at the time.

Pros: Everything .... the location and views were fantastic ... being able to wander down to the beach early morning before breakfast was superb. The staff were so friendly and the room was great ... recommendations for where to eat during the day/evening are plentiful and they are happy to book the restaurants for you .... but be warned ... the breakfasts are delicious and filling

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Pros: The kitchen and appliances provided

Cons: 1. Our room were not cleaned after we had asked for cleaning. When we returned after 2pm; we were told the cleAning lady has left we could not be helped. 2. Electricity plugs tripped in the evening around 7pm..Ee called the emergency number provided, phone was not picked up..Left sms"s and Whatsapp messages; no responses. It was a cold night& do it meant the kids and us sleep in cold rooms, no heater and electric blankets, no tv, no warming of food on microwaves or stoves and the security on duty didn't know what to do it have access to the switches as he stays outside throughout the night.

Pros: like the ocean view as well only 5mins drive.from.shopping mall and 8mins drive from all restaurant.

Pros: Every thing was perfect

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The house was located a 20min. walk to the centre. You stay with the hosts and their two dogs in their home so you should like dogs and you have to be aware that the hosts are always around you. The hosts (and their stuff) were very friendly to help you anytime (cab ordering, reservation at restaurants, tipps to go out etc). The breakfast was very tasty and while sitting outside you have an amazing view over the bay. We can recommemd this guest house!

Cons: We wanted to take a shower in the morning but one day we ran out of water due to the local water supply system, but TIA (this is Africa ;)) Although the breakfast was great, we would have loved to have a cappucino.

Pros: The location is located a bit above the city center, with a perfect view on the beach. The villa is very modern and well thought out and designed. You can tell that someone really put effort in the interior and exterior design. The pool area and the pool itself is neatly located and nobody can look in this area. The hosts are very friendly and help you with booking restaurant last or with tipps what to do. We really have to admit it was one of the best places we stayed at during a three weeks trip.
