“Nice family stay with great offerings for the kids”
The offer for kids is great, nice pools, mini golf, tennis court and play rooms. The rooms were well equipped but the cleanliness did not meet our expectations. The jumping pillows were down for maintenance. The access to the cafe was handy, offering a good selection for breakfast or lunch. The staff even organised an Easter Egg Hunt (as we stayed over the holidays) - so real focus on making this rememberable for the kids.

The pools, the multi court and the restaurant made a good waffle

Really Spacious room, lovely staff and the facilities were exactly as they had advertised if not better. I really enjoyed the experience as a whole they provided me on my trip.

The breakfasts were good with a nice range of options. The swimming pools (cool and heated), and their surrounds, are lovely. The activities for the whole family make for a fun getaway. The area of Plettenberg Bay has a lot to offer.

I booked Air Conditiner, instead we had only a heater and a ventiator. We changed places immediately and did not stay there for the nights!
