“Nice view and house, confined small room, lack of privacy.”
The view from the top terrace was lovely. The house was a short walk to the Main Street with bars and restaurants. The house was spotless. Very comfortable bed.

“The most beautiful guesthouse we’ve ever stayed in.”
The most beautiful guesthouse we have ever stayed in. It is beautifully furnished, in a great location within Plettenberg Bay and enjoys stunning views across the bay itself. The staff too, especially Lee-Anne were fantastic and kept the property immaculately clean.
