Each room and chalet at Garden Route Game Lodge offers either views of the mountains or the valley. They are elegantly decorated with thatched roofs and wooden furniture. All of them have TVs with digital channels and a safe. This stay was unplanned and booked last minute. And we didn´t regret it! Tasty food, great wine and a lodge with a view over the game farm. The 2 game tours (evening and morning) ,included into the room rate, are fascinating. We saw all big 5, except leopard, but therefore Cheetahs on the hunt.

Providing garden views, Stanley Island in Plettenberg Bay provides accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a private beach area, a restaurant and a bar. Free WiFi is provided.

The lodge offers a barbecue. Wow what a gem of a place: each self contained room has a kitchen, so self-catering is an option, or dinner at a very good restaurant. The hotel is on a beautiful property; the attention to detail is evident everywhere. The hotel is personal - staff are attentive and go the extra mile - and we loved how it’s decorated. We will definitely be back. One thing to note is that it is on an Island, so you can only get there by ferry.

Set in a forest and nestled among the trees, Moonshine on Whiskey Creek offers self-catering accommodation in wooden cabins, just toff the N2 national road and 15 km away from Plettenberg Bay.

The units are equipped with kitchen facilities, fireplace and seating area. Some of the bathrooms are fitted with a mosaic shower. Barbecue facilities are available. The location was serene and peaceful. It was a view that we will never forget. The pool was lovely to have. Wish we knew they had a hiking trail as it would take a half day to do but we are dtill happy with the location. Our little house was perfect for our family. The only suggestion I would make is a safety gate by the outside stairs

Located in Keurboomstrand, Singing Kettle Beach Lodge features panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and has an à la carte restaurant, terrace and free WiFi.

At Singing Kettle Beach Lodge the restaurant, Enrico’s serves authentic Italian food with South African flavours. Guests can relax on the terrace whilst watching the sunset. Awesome view. It's unforgettable to have breakfast on the terrace and see dolphins and whales passing in front of you. The bedroom is very big and comfortable The restaurant below the room is not so bothering and it worth a visit to have a spritz or an excellent dinner without using the car. Janine is very kind and friendly. We spent two fantastic days
