“A lovely place to stay on the garden route, easy to self cater and they provide a fabulous breakfast if you want.”
A great place to stay, we appreciated the pool after a hot day out. We were offered an upgrade as it was quiet when we went. Fantastic that you can use their full catering kitchen if you want to cook any meals yourself. The breakfast was fabulous too - filled us up for the day. Thanks for a great experience.

“A blissful island with an epitome of a host and a perfect location”
Inga is THE epitome of a host and a very lovely person (which is a pleonasm..). The guest house is perfectly situated in Plett with just a few minutes walk to Main Rd. as well as shopping malls. The size of the guesthouse creates a very intimate atmosphere and with Inga's fondness to cosset her guests, this is a blissful island.
