Cottage vacation rentals in Plettenberg Bay

Teachers cottage way exceeded my expectations! Private, peaceful and beautifully surrounded by nature. Well decorated and has everything you need. Candy and Ritchie were both wonderful hosts, friendly, very responsive and always willing to help. Loved my stay at Old School Farm!

Just a great place. Highly recommend on all accounts. Just a super house and beautiful setting on an incredible beach.

Great cottage in a great location. We visited in winter and the wood burning oven warms up the entire house. Great bedrooms, comfy and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to be self sufficient. The deck looks out over a fantastic magic garden. The garden has all sorts of hidden corners that must be explored. We picked our dinner veggies, grape fruits, oranges and lemons - there is loads more. If we could give this place 6 out of 5 we would have. Loved it

Linda was amazing- going out of her way to help us with additional nights after we ran into some issues. the units were lovely and the staff so helpful and friendly - moving our luggage to different units due to the additional nights. thank you!!

The host was great, helped when we needed a doctor. The place was private and peaceful.

It’s a very beautiful place and the host was very helpful. Everyone was so nice, me and my friends really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely coming back

We stayed two nights at Benny’s place and would’ve stayed longer if we could’ve. It was a wonderful stay - kitchen may be rustic but it is all part of the charm. The photos do not do it justice. Benny’s place is paradise The rooms and beds were clean and comfortable. We cooked in the communal kitchen mostly and braai’s out by the communal open braai pit and spent all our days exploring and swimming. There are shops and restaurants close by but we didn’t bother leaving the premises. Benny had so much patience for the kids, and his goats and pack of giant dogs entertained them for hours. The boys even got to take home a bunch of bananas freshly harvested off one of his trees. Thanks so much for the stay, and for the bananas!

Conveniently located to explore the Garden Route. Close to cycling and running routes. Loved the hot tub. The place is very well equipped. Great communication from host. We look forward to visiting again.

This place is truly a hidden gem! The breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding landscape made it feel like a perfect blend of forest and seaside tranquility. The home was fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Every moment felt like stepping into a masterpiece of nature’s beauty — truly a reflection of God’s artwork. The steps leading to this hidden gem were truly rewarding. Karen was one of the best hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with, making me feel like part of her family from the start. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a refreshing escape from daily life, even if you already live near the ocean — this is an entirely unique experience.

Beautifully constructed house and great stmosphere.

we loved every moment at The Love Nest. so peaceful and beautiful panoramic views over the lagoon! perfect place for a romantic getaway with your loved one!

Picca is an attentive and considerate host who sent us local updates about weather, closed/open beaches etc. throughout our stay. we ended up not bringing our dogs, but Picca had paid extra attention to ensuring they would also have a great stay. Lake Brenton is magical and perfect if you're keen on a quieter holiday with all the perks of having Knysna super close by.

We love staying at Paula's place, it is a divine cottage complete with everything one needs. Set in a beautiful garden, which our border collies just love. We thoroughly enjoy our holidays at Paula's place and will definitely be back again.

The place is big enough to stay in and especially to stay comfortable with a baby. It is a quiet area with a beautiful view over the Knysna lagoon. It is a great place to stay if you want to explore the Garden route, because it is central and easy accessible. We really found the host friendly and helpful.

Wonderful, peaceful accommodation with serene views. Check in was a breeze and host was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Gary and Lynne were incredible hosts—kind, attentive, and always mindful of our needs. We had a wonderful time, and our kids absolutely loved the pool, which is beautifully surrounded by nature. The accommodation was spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Gary also provided us with a detailed itinerary, which was incredibly helpful for exploring Knysna. We’ll definitely be returning!

Carike’s place was so comfortable and had everything one could need for an enjoyable stay Keurboomstrand is one of the most beautiful spots in SA!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kobus’s Airbnb cabin, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The cabin was immaculate—everything was spotless and incredibly well-organized, making it feel both welcoming and comfortable. It was clear that great care was taken to ensure cleanliness, with every corner of the space thoughtfully maintained. The cabin was also stocked with everything we needed for a stress-free stay. From kitchen essentials like pots, pans, and utensils to thoughtful touches like extra towels, toiletries, and cozy blankets, Kobus truly thought of everything. It was the kind of place where you could easily settle in and feel right at home. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-equipped getaway. The attention to detail and cleanliness made all the difference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

We had such a lovely stay. Lisa went the extra mile with attention to detail and gifts like chocolates, extra goodies like rusks, coffee and oats for breakfast. Will definitely stay there again when we are in the area.
