A fantastic place to stay in Plettenburg Bay.

A beautiful house in a lovely setting. We loved our room looking onto the pool. We must mention the ladies who welcomed us in the morning and the afternoon who really put themselves out for us.

Beautiful location and stylish beach house

Perfect location above Robberg Beach, within a 5 minute walk along the boardwalk. Guests are housed on the ground floor with the upstairs reserved for the owner. The owner was not there but Wendy, who lives offsite, greeted us and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in a twin room and it was a little cold but the beds have electric blankets and extra blankets. I slept comfortably. The breakfast was good but I think that the chef needs a litttle more experience making coffees

Great weekend away.

Really lovely little guest house! Super friendly staff and a great breakfast. It’s nice and quiet, with a short +/- 100m walk through the garden on a boardwalk to the beach. It was a bit cold when we visited, but the pool still looked super inviting. It’s just outside the main town, which is great for avoiding the crowds — just make sure you’ve got a car to get around.
