“Beautiful apartment in quite area”
The decor of this spacious apartment was beautiful. The owners were very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable of the area and surroundings. More of a quieter area - which we preferred and walking distance to a beach.

“Definitly Book it again if we are around. Great stay.”
It was great! The location and appartement were super nice. We had everything we needed. Ray and Faye were very helpfull. For our little son there was a duplo box. When he woke up he already said he wants to play with it. The appartement is safe and close to the most things.

We had an amazing stay at this self-catering accommodation and found it perfect for our family of four. The place is fully equipped with everything you need. You literally just arrive with your clothes. It’s conveniently located close to the beach and shopping centres, with great restaurants nearby. Ray and his wonderful wife were wonderful hosts, very welcoming and went out of their way to ensure our short stay was comfortable and enjoyable. This accommodation offers excellent value for money, and we were lucky to secure such a wonderful place at the last minute. We will definitely be staying longer next time. 😊

“We had an absolutely amazing stay and truly loved every moment.”
Our stay at Songbird was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, Faye (F-A-Y-E) and Ray welcomed us with such warmth and genuine kindness — their hospitality truly made us feel at home. The house itself is stunning, filled with thoughtful little details, charming décor, and beautiful decorations that create the most peaceful and special atmosphere. Everything was spotless, with clean towels and fresh bedding, and our hosts were always nearby to assist and ensure our comfort. One of the absolute highlights was the bed — incredibly comfortable and restful. We woke up each morning feeling refreshed, recharged, and truly renewed. It was the kind of sleep you wish you could take home with you. The kitchen was fully equipped with quality pots, pans, and everything needed to prepare meals with ease. The air fryer was a game-changer and made such a difference! The added convenience of this thoughtful touch was so appreciated. The location is perfect — super convenient and close to both the beach and nearby shops, making outings effortless and enjoyable. Whether we were heading for a morning walk on the sand or popping out for essentials, everything was just minutes away. We had an absolutely amazing stay and truly loved every moment. We would highly recommend Songbird to anyone visiting Plettenberg Bay, and we most certainly hope to return again soon. Thank you, Faye and Ray, for hosting us so beautifully — we are already dreaming of our next visit!

“Delightful and cosy”
The friendly owners met us at the property even though we were delayed on the road and arrived late. They also offered a late checkout since we only stayed one night. The apartment is very well equipped, beyond our expectations, and even has DSTV, Netflix, and Showmax on the SmartTV We had a good rest, in this quiet complex and would happily visit again. Would definitely recommend it.
