The most enviable location on the Garden Route. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac Exquisite, unimpeded 180 views of the vast blue ocean, golden beaches, large lagoon and the imposing Tsitsikamma Mountain Range. Nature all'round, yet not isolated, but only a 2-minute drive from the town centre and its trendy shops. Blissful solitude and a complete immersion in nature, with only the sound of white-crested surf tumbling at one’s feet. Becalming and rejuvenating - the perfect antidote for stress. All rooms are decorated in muted tones and en-suite to a shower cubicle with/without bath, and a queen bed or twin beds, TV-hospitality package, free uncapped Wi-Fi, tea/coffee making facilities, safe, fan, air-con and hairdryer.
If you want to be on the beach with fabulous views of the sea and lagoon, this is the place to come. The beach has lifeguards on duty. You can walk 5km plus. The staff are very helpful and the place is kept very clean. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel

Wonderful location and very helpful staff. The breakfast was delicious and fresh with excellent views. Will definitely be back again soon. The room we stayed in was a little dark as the windows overlooked the carpark and we had to keep the curtains closed so I would definitely recommend an upstairs room or one overlooking the lagoon

Beachfront Hotel- Location Location Location!! The selling point of this Hotel was definitely its location, at the end of a small road down to the beach at Plett, and the last building before you reach the sand! We walked across the sand for afternoon drinks at one of the beach bars to watch the sun set over the surf, and then just across the sand again to the other beach bar for dinner with an ocean view. Our room was tastefully decorated with a nautical feel, extremely clean and a view of the beach and the bay from our room. The bathroom had a large shower and was really clean with all the extra cosmetic supplies you may need. Breakfast included fruit, cereals and yoghurt, with toast and a choice of cooked meals as well. The staff were attentive and friendly, and our hire car was even washed by staff in the morning! Whilst we didn’t go up to the main town, it could be walked - but would be all uphill!…

What a lovely surprise! And what a great find!This is a small bed and breakfast establishment that is next to a few very good restaurants so you need not drive at all if you don't need to. The staff were just so welcoming and made one feel at home from the very start. The rooms were great with every amenity one would need and very comfy beds. The breakfast was amazing and again the staff were so pleasant and welcoming. Do your self a favour and get up early, before breakfast, and walk along the Lookout Beach. It made our day! Would I say there again. You bet I would and soon too. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Warm welcome, well organised staff members. My room 9 was upstairs and had a balcony with side seaviews and faced the public parking lot. Double glazed windows helped for noise protection. Room was spacious and had a small fridge, tea and coffee making facility. Bathroom has a free standing bath and a shower. A la carte breatkfast is served at the restaurant. Well organised and friendly staff. I had a very enjoyable stay.

We had an upstairs room with balcony and it was very nice, large bathroom and super clean. The location was as the name suggests, right by the sea, with wonderful views. Breakfast was delicious and served in the adjoining restaurant, staff in the hotel were lovely and we even had our car washed by the car attendant.

Great location with very clean & nicely furnished rooms. The beach is a short walk away & a treat. They did not do lunch & dinner at the time but recommended restaurants within walking distance. Staff was very friendly & the breakfast was very tasty & well presented. Overall a nice value for money experience.

Beautiful cozy property right by the beach..amazing staff and great food! The hostess was too accommodating and polite as we reached quite late. There is an amazing restaurant cum bar a few steps away on the beach with amazing views and food. Would love to visit there again.

We booked an upstairs sea view room, and had windows on two sides with beautiful views of the beach and lagoon. The room was absolutely spotlessly clean and had a safe. The beach is a minute's walk through the (secure) car park and the receptionist was able to provide beach towels and bags for us to use. There was a lifeguard on the beach which was helpful. They don't seem to offer kayaks any more which is a shame but actually it was a bit windy while we were there anyway. The door was a wee bit thin so we did hear some noise as other guests checked in and came up the stairs. Breakfast very yummy indeed.

We stayed two nights at this lovely hotel set in a glorious setting right on one of the two beaches at Plettenberg Bay. Room was delightful and lovely breakfasts in a superb setting. Easy parking with Plettenberg Bay centre and town beach only 5 minutes drive. We had both evening meals at the Grand Lookout Cafe also on the bay and 10 minutes walk away across the beach (separately reviewed). Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting this lovely area Mike & Linda
