    Superb location. Great views from our accommodation. Modern but not ott fittings and furnishings. The gardener caught 3 nice spotted grunters from the bank just outside our unit on our day of departure. Safe and secure. Very comfortable and plenty...

Situated on the banks of the Bitou River estuary with glorious views over the wetlands, 2 self catering units on large property with beautiful gardens. An unspoiled wetland of abundant bird and marine life awaits you just outside Plettenberg Bay, nature lovers have an exceptional range of activities to choose from in the immediate area. Accommodation consists of two units both fully kitted self-catering apartments, each with a braai (BBQ) area, and plenty of secure parking. Access to the 200m river frontage is only meters away by private  ramp. The apartment is on the first floor, affording a wonderful view of the river and wetland, tastefully decorated with the artists original paintings. Access is made easy via a wide staircase from the nearby parking area. A large veranda includes an outside braai / barbeque area with table. On the ground floor is the Garden 2 bedroomed flat, one with on suite shower and toilet, a separate shower and toilet off the main room, tastefully decorated close to the parking area. In response to the load shedding, and our commitment to the environment, we have install solar panels and an inverter with batteries. We use gas for heating and are unaffected by load shedding. Furthermore we use filtered well water, so bottled drinking water is advisable We are pet friendly ONLY in the Garden/Terrace Apartment
WWe bought the property in 2015 and decided to offer share our experience of Plettenberg Bay though the self catering flats. We renovated the existing units and love the experience of meeting new people. The apartments are right on the banks of the Bitou River, with stunning views and sunsets. We are a very family friendly establishment and our Garden Flat is pet friendly too! We are available at any time, but leave guests to their privacy!
Numerous hiking, horseback and mountain bike trails snake along the cliffs of the rugged coastline and the blue mountains of the interior. Southern Right Whales and schools of dolphins can be seen from various vantage points in the town centre, or spotted as you enjoy a quiet stroll along Plettenberg Bay`s 15 km of unspoiled sandy white beaches. Learn about monkeys, lemurs, gibbons and other primates at Monkeyland, the first sanctuary of "Touch a Monkey`s Heart" Foundation. Find out about the plight of the African elephant as you meet the rescued animals that now live in a controlled, free range environment at the Knysna Elephant Park. Explore our indigenous forest and perhaps spot the elusive Knysna Loerie on Africa`s first tree-top experience - the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour. Play golf or polo on world class courses and fields, or take an exhilarating plunge at the world`s highest bungy jump at Bloukrans Bridge, less than 40 minutes away. The village centre and its surrounds are filled with galleries, studios and interesting shops where local artists, crafters, food-makers and distillers show the products of their unique creativity.
