Lovely apartment, convenient location, beautiful view, easy check in and out.

The Little Tin House
We enjoyed our little getaway at Terry's Little Tin House. Extremely accommodating, as we have van and Terry made sure we could park behind a locked gate. Thank you Terry for going above and beyond to make our breakaway special. We really enjoyed our stay. 1000/10 would recommend.

Studio on Hill
We had a great stay at the studio on the Hill. Ronel was very helpful and kind with recommendations and making sure we were settled. Beautiful views and surroundings. We were able to find the Airbnb with no concerns thanks to Ronel’s instructions. It can get a bit chilly - so make sure you bring layers! Would deffo recommend staying here for a lovely time!

We had a lovely stay at the Beachy Head apartment. The location was ideal—close to everything we needed, with beautiful surroundings.

Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful off grid fynbos and forest getaway
This is truly a hidden gem. Tucked away in beautifoul suroundings, the House is spacious, cozy and has Everything and more of what you need.

Great family house, will definitely be back

Spacious apartment, backup power & stunning views
Sehr schönes Ferienhaus auf 2 Etagen. Wertige Einrichtung, gute Betten und besonders hervorzuheben ist die Terasse mit kleinem Garten und Grill unten, sowie der Balkon mit gemütlichem Balkon und herrlicher Aussicht im 1. Stock. Im 2. Stock dann das grandiose Panorama mit Meerblick. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr sicher. Elspeth ist ausgesprochen hilfreich und freundlich und steht mit Rat zur Seite. Besser geht es nicht.

Dolphin views, Keurboomstrand - Plettenberg Bay
It was sooooo nice. The house, the few, the beds are very good. We felt home and to look from the tarrace to the ocean is stunning. We miss it already. Very quiet, save, clean, just fantastic. Percy, the housemaid was soooo nice. Very friendly and lovely. Danny was also very friendly a perfect owner. Thank you very very much

Leisure Isle Cottage
What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Relaxed holiday home - Knysna Heads
The view from the house is absolutely stunning, and the location is brilliant. Morné responded very quickly whenever needed and was super friendly. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Gantry House
This was an amazing spot. Beautiful setting, close to the action and great restaurants on Thesen Island, but also far enough for a peaceful retreat. My wife and our two young daughters (4 and 6 yr old) loved the comfy and well stocked place. Lots of walks on the Island and plenty to do around the area (animal farms, vineyards, nature walks, etc). We would definitely recommend this spot and we’ll be back to Liddi’s place in the future. Wow!!

Lagoon View Apartment
A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the stunning view from the balcony — both in the morning and at sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking. The place is spotless, fully equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!

Awesome place with a great view! Centrally located to restaurants and the beach. You can’t ask for a better place to stay. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Plettenberg Bay Area!

Romeo
We Stayed at Andrei’s place, the location and the apartment itself were amazing, perhaps even better than the pictures. The only downside I would say is the bedroom on top of the coffeeshop as it gets quite noisy from 6-7 in the morning. Other than that, definitely recommend it and will visit back again.

Whalerock Sea-esta | Walk to the beach!
The place is so beautiful and neat. A 1000% as seen on the pictures. There is a pristine pool just a walking distance away. The kitchen is fully functional with everything you could possibly need. The security is top tier. A real treat for someone looking for a peaceful stay away from the city. There is also a shopping mall for groceries (Checkers) and (Dischem) a +-2 mins walking distance away

Sea-esta & private beach
Melanie’s unit in The Dunes estate was absolutely perfect for our weekend away. The estate is peaceful and private and provides access to one of the most spectacular beaches in South Africa. Melanie was an amazing host and responded very quickly to any questions we had. We would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone and would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sunbird! It felt like a home away from home with everything we needed to make it comfortable. Really beautiful decor and attention to detail like a bucket and spade for our daughter to use at the beach, swimming towels, fans, air fryer, washing powder and more. Ray and Faye were very welcoming and friendly, meeting us to let us in and coming back to say goodbye at check out. Would love to return for another stay.
