I needed a quick overnight stay. Plett River Lodge is just of the the main N2, so if you want to move quickly this is ideal. I see that some travellers disliked being fairly close to the main road, but to be quite honest the dull thud of the waves from the beach is louder than the traffic noise. I... More

This place is stunning, we can not understand that anyone can say anything bad or negative about the Plettenberg River Lodge. It is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Maria was a stunning host from the moment we got there, till we left. The rooms are beautiful, great furniture with an amazing view. We had a romantic sunset braai on the deck,... More

We stayed overnight at this hotel. Although I had emailed at least 2 weeks before to confirm our booking when we arrived it appeared our booking was missing. It had somehow moved to the following day. Luckily there was a room available. It was perfectly OK..comfortable bed, clean sheets and a nice view of the river but the proximity to... More

This place is vastly over-priced for what you get. Only a Continental breakfast (which we were not told when we booked). The rooms are rather bare - concrete screed floors and no bedside rugs. Our room looked out onto the deck but that area old have been cleaner. Staff, however, were fantastic and very pleasant Sadly too close to the... More

We were the only guests when we arrived and so were given a choice of all the rooms (we looked in all of them). They were all lovely big spacious, comfortable rooms with a tranquil and relaxing view. The staff were welcoming and helpful. They made us feel comfortable despite being the only guests. The breakfast was adequate but basic.... More

The Plett River Lodge is situated just outside Plett on the river. The rooms open onto a deck with wonderful views of the river. The deck has little table areas where guests could sit and enjoy the views with sundowners, but unfortunately both the deck and the table area were covered with goose droppings so we were not able to...

We arrived at Plett River Lodge after 6 long hour of driving and we were exhausted! We were met by a smiling Maria and immediately offered tea. She then showed us to our gorgeous room with HUGE four poster bed, overlooking the river. It was pure heaven. Maria showed us around and gave us advice on where to eat in... More

I would advise anyone to stay well away from this place... It is advertised as a hotel.... This is a joke.... It is far from a hotel. All open plan... Definately would not go back. Would not be impressed with shower... Disgusting mat placed at same. Old tv sets... door to room not very secure. Breakfast in the morning just... More

Plett river lodge is really undeserved of 4 stars. We arrived at the lodge and were put in a family room whereas we were only 2 people. The tv had 1 "working" channel (SABC 3) and we were told nonchalantly that the tv does not have a remote control. The room was large and cold with 2 small wall panel... More
