"The room was well equipped. Only the bathroom is very small but still o. k. for one person. Therefore the price is a bit high in comparrison to other places. The view over Plettenberg Bay is great. Breakfast is fantastic!! The homemade platter was really great. Thank you for all the extras you offered like muffins and wishes for a save journey when I left."

"Great place to stay in Plett. François and his wife are just the loveliest hosts. The room we stayed was the green one; it was spacious, with a large and clean bathroom and a comfortable bed. It should have great views of the bay, although it was foggy when we were there. For the night, you can park inside the gate, which is very safe. Finally, the breakfast was fantastic, one of the best we had in our trip. The outside area is also great for hanging around, we didn't enjoy much because it was foggy."
"Really nothing related to the place. Just the weather that was foggy."

"I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I arrived, being welcomed by the beautiful view of the well-maintained gardens. The video guide showing the facility and directing me to my room was incredibly helpful. The room was well laid out, comfortable, and inviting. The personalised breakfast display at my table was a delightful touch — something I’ve never experienced before."
