"Other than the garden the highlight when staying at this property is the ability to enjoy beach views from the sun loungers positions at the edge of the garden."

“I see a charming colonial-style beach house directly on Robberg Beach, where the focus is clearly on relaxation. The informal atmosphere, coupled with attentive service from Wendy and her team, strikes me as particularly appealing. Add to that the convenience of an honesty bar and the lure of dolphin and whale watching from the garden, and it becomes an easy choice for a Plettenberg Bay getaway.”
