This place is very well located above the beach of Plettenberg Bay, with friendly staff and convenient central kitchen services for general use during the day. However, no rooms have sea views, unless you are the owner, whose rooms do. The pool is only for the use of the owner, too. So while it's very good, it's not quite as... More

What a wonderful location! The B&B is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We wanted to just stay there and look at the view of the ocean. Edward, the Manager, and his staff were extremely helpful and kind and made our final days in South Africa very special.

We stayed at this guest house for 4 nights in January this year. It is in a lovely location overlooking the ocean with the sound of waves crashing on to the beach and (if you're lucky - we were) the sight of dolphins in the Bay. Apart from the location it is the staff that make this place so special:... More

We stayed at Souther Cross Beach House for 1 Night during December. What a lovely place! Usually what you see on the websites of Hotels and Guest Houses aren't the same, but at Southern Cross it was way better. The rooms are lovely & clean, and so beautifully decorated. The views from the garden is amazing and the breakfast fantastic!... More

We really enjoyed the 3 nights in the beautifully decorated room and the relaxing ambience of this guest house. Situated directly above the beach it is perfect for beach walks (Robberg beach) or for just enjyoying the beatiful view. The friendliness and the great hospitality make you feel at home from the first minute.

We stayed 3 nights at Southern Cross. Ed was fantastic with his personalized service. A very tastefully decorated room, all in cream and white were cramped. It may be because it was the smallest room they have available. On booking ensure you check on the availability of the larger room if space is your requirement.On request on our last night... More

I selected the hotel based on the photos from the room on the ground level. I could see that it would work best for my wife. The owner confirmed that room for our one night stay and everything lived up to my expectations. My wife was delighted with the accomodations and we felt very much at home instantly when greeted...

If you like the perfect host, breakfast with a view on the beach and clean very nice furnished and well kept rooms, this is the place to be. The grounds around the house are just lovely. The rooms are maybe not very spacious, but who wants to stay in his room all they long. As the house is almost on... More

We stayed at Southern Cross for two nights in April 2012. We booked the big room and it was very pretty. I loved the bathroom with its black and white checkered floor, claw foot bath and big shower. Breakfast was lovely and the view of the beach from the verandah is great. We loved having the two dogs (Toby an... More
