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 whole place was immaculate and clean. The owners could not of done anymore for us, restaurant bookings, places to go and see. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Cons: Nothing

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: Location excellent. Accommodation ideal for a couple Hosts very friendly and helpful

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Good location right next to the beach. Very pleasant and helpful hosts, really great info on places to go etc Lovely guest house, everything you would want. Superb breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Bella Manga is a little haven off the beaten track, and the hosts are simply amazing and welcoming. The setting is extremely special and the honesty bar a lovely touch. We also had a great deal of excellent recommendations. Our cabin was absolutely huge and had an amazing wooden fire with three big bedrooms. We saw monkeys wondering around the farm, unfortunately we couldn't use the BBQ or make full use of sitting out under the stars as we had a terrible storm. Our hosts came to check on us in the morning to check everything was ok which I felt was an excellent touch.

Cons: For the cost, I felt that the bathrooms could have been updated and the pool closest to us was shut down as it required repair. I also had anticipated that they had a cafe/restaurant following on from the photos I had seen, but this is for their wedding weekends and does not cater for guests staying there. It is purely self catering. However, I think this was my mistake when making the booking and the farm is only a 15 minute drive away from restaurants and bars.

Pros: Fantastic peaceful place. Great hosts who were knowledgeable about the area and always willing to go that extra mile. Breakfasts were excellent

Cons: We stayed on the cottages which were 300m from the main site, some of our group were uncomfortable about having to walk through the cows to get to the main camp but they were no real issue and pretty much ignored us

Pros: The best way to experience Afrika! This collection of historic buildings is in the middle of the country side with monkeys visiting you (from a safe distance) in the morning, beautiful views during breakfast and everything you need to relax during the day (And night). Everything is very clean and well maintained and the staff super friendly! You can enjoy the pool, pet animals, go for a nice long countryside walk, visit Plettenberg/Robberg or just chill. All the luxury you need for a super price. This is Africa at it's best!

The room provided a seating area with TV, which we wouldn't normally use much, but the seats were single seater and very upright old fashioned type, would have been nice to have a more relaxing sofa.

Secluded location only five minute drive into town. Great pool, big enough for a 'proper' swim. Owner John gave fantastic detailed advice on things to see and do in the area. Good breakfast.

Cons: Soundproofing between the rooms could be improved - fortunately we had quiet neighbours. Somewhat lacking in availability and quality of toiletries.

Pros: We enjoyed very much staying at Piesang Valley Lodge in Plettenberg. This has everything to do with John, who owns the property. We would like to thank him for his very personal and honest daily trip advice during breakfasts, as well as his familiar interaction with his guests. This place was definitely worth the stay (price quality-wise) and an excellent base to discover the surroundings of Plettenberg. We enjoyed the many suggested walks (Nature Valley, Storms River, Robberg) and lunches/dinners (Bramon, Enrico, the Burnt Orange).

Cons: One tip for improvement would be to add more variation to the breakfasts.

From day 1 of booking till our checkout she helped us in every possible manner. She also made a good recommendations to us to visit nearby and gave us discount vouchers which were very helpful. Also she made an excellent recommendation to visit Robberg Nature reserve, which was one of the highlights of our trip.

The rooms were ok, with coffe and tea, a heating system and a nice bed. But I would say the best thing was the bar in the back, were we had a pleasant night, eating a good vegetarian dinner prepared by the french chef that works there, in a cozy area.

Cons: There is a kind of “bus/vans” terminal by the corner of the street, and there are some people walking around there that made us think twice before walking to the beach by the sunset concerned about how it would be after getting dark...

Cons: Lighting in bedroom was too dim to put makeup on.

Pros: The place itself is awesome. The house is so beautiful and lovely. The landlords are so kind and give you a lot of recommendations and help where ever they can!

Cons: It wasn't that clean than in other guest houses. The floor wasn't cleaned during my stay, the toilet paper was empty and the bath wasn't that clean...unfortunately there is also little bit of mold in the bath. The house looks awesome, but if you have a closer look at all looks quiet simple.

Pros: The hotel is gorgeous and full of personality and charm! The room is so huge, like a studio apartment! Amazing double standing shower and a bath tub by the window overlooking the beach.

The suite was phenomenal (room 6) and has all the amenities and extras such as a Nespresso machine, candles, double shower, ample cupboard space and toiletries.

Their warm hospitality and lovely attitude made us feel like home - something we still remember. John, his son-in-law gave us lots of information and many tips of where to go and what do do and see. There are so many wonderful places to visit in and around Plettenberg Bay and our "guest-family" explained all of them. The recommended restaurants were awsome and a must for excellent sea food is the "Fat Fish". The room was extremly clean and quit.
