I made the right choice booking at Ocean Watch Guest House

The location was excellent, close to the beach, restaurants and shopping centre. Everything is at a walking distance and the house was beautiful. The pool was heated so every morning and day I’d use the pool for hours . Loved it , clean and breakfast was amazing . House is clean and love the lounging erea where you get to just relax. Our host was so kind and lovely , she welcomed us in immediately when we got there .

Excellent experience at Ocean Watch Guest House

Beautifully appointed, excellent location, friendly and welcoming staff, who made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. Good to have communal kitchen with plenty of facilities, very good coffee maker and filtered water. Stunning views. Spacious and comfortable room with nice big bed.

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.
