"Awesome view!"

Very nice terrace, great breakfast, very nice people! PS: dont miss Robberg!

We think the style of the rooms are more for people from 40+, but that is depending on taste😉

"A wholesome stay in Plettenberg bay"

10.0

This property has our heart. The room was tidy, and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed. It has a nice ocean view as well. There was secure parking, and a common dining area with a microwave and utensils for self-cooking. The breakfast was very good too. But the highlight of our stay was the hosts — Francois and Marinda were the sweetest. They made our time in Plettenberg Bay a million times more memorable.

"Perfekter Urlaub mit wunderbaren Gastgebern"

10.0

Wir wurden von Francoise und seiner Frau äußerst freundlich empfangen und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. In diesem Haus ist man Gast von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute. Das von den Gastgeber bereitet Frühstück war extrem lecker und sehr abwechslungsreich. Herrlich der Ausblick von der Terrasse. Sehr gut ist auch die Lage, weil die Geschäfte und die Restaurants sehr gut zu Fuß erreichbar sind. Wir hatten ein paar wunderschöne Urlaubstage in Plettenberg Bay.

"A place we’d return to in a heartbeat."

10.0

Our stay with François and Marinda was absolutely wonderful and easily the most memorable of our trip. From the moment you arrive, you feel genuinely welcomed and completely at home. They are the kind of hosts everyone hopes for – warm, thoughtful, and simply outstanding. The rooftop terrace offers a beautiful view, and breakfast up there is a real treat. Each morning began with a fresh homemade fruit starter, and everything they served was delicious. They also have an incredibly sweet and relaxed dog named Jessie. They also shared fantastic tips for the next part of our journey (Nanaga :)). The location is ideal for exploring the area, with restaurants and supermarkets just a short walk away. All in all, a place we’d return to in a heartbeat.
