Perfect location. The room had a great view. We enjoyed the onsite restaurants, the kids play areas, and the hikes down to the beach (fisherman's walk).

What an incredible decoration. The property is so pretty with all the turbines from the days the hotel was a power station, mixed with modern paintings and what not. Really adds to the atmosphere. It's connected to a gastropub which was very convenient in the evening because we were tired and didn't even have to leave the property to have a nice burger and beers(plus live music). The breakfast is amazing, I got myself a delicious eggs benedict with smoked salmon. There was loadshedding but the hotel honors its past and has a generator so we were not left in the dark. Finally, loved the vibe in Thesen Island, the canals, the calm streets, etc.

Oh, what a beautiful facility! This place was so unique; a real find in the middle of a forest! It was like staying in someone’s luxurious treehouse home. The staff was lovely. The rooms were spacious and elegantly appointed; the food was delicious. Must be seen to be believed. What a treasure!

All round Sedgefield is a lovely town but the roads are terrible. (Suggest renaming it "Johannesburg-By-The-Sea"). Resturants, CoffeeShops are great. Lagoon, beaches beautiful. Braai facilities on the Lagoon are very peaceful and tranquil, although require a bit of maintenance. Lovely large grassed area to sit and relax with fishing off the banks. Saturday market is a well run, very popular market with great fresh produce and other locally procuced goods. Great coffee and food stalls.

The Crags is handy for so many great places and beaches.

The Crags is handy for so many great places and beaches. It is easy to reach on the N2 and the locals are very friendly and helpful. The Superette has a very good stock of most items and Bread and Brew next door serves delicious meals and takeaway goodies (B and B ) closed on Mondays but the shop and garage are open 7 days a week. Peppermill, Blue Rocks cafe, Asado, Mobys and The Lookout are all good places to eat.

We stayed at a wonderful guest house which delivered views towards Knysna and Belvidere and we spent a lot of time there. It was a winter holiday so we didnt spend time at the beach and it was an easy commute to Knysna. Perhaps a little daunting for some to drive up - and down - at night in the dark with no lights, but the road is in good condition and the lines are visible.

Buffelsbaai is a unpolished gem and the ocean and surroundings brings a special kind of calm to your soul that is not easy to put pen to paper about! it is beyond your imagination! We wandered around and did the Buffels Bay Hiking Trail and had something to drink at the Beach Restaurant and the people attending to our needs went out of their way to be so very kind and attentive. Buffels Bay is very easy to get around to and everything is SO neat and well kept!!

Knysna is a beautiful place, Booking the right place takes time, but it is in most cases worth the money, if you do your research properly. Most bookings are walking distance to town or restaurants. And if not, an Uber, is inexpensive, to getting you to your location. Ubers are quick and every experience there is amazing.

Plettenberg Bay is a sophisticated beach town. so much to do within short distances; beach walks, nature reserves, boat trips, whale watching, kayaking, fabulous restaurants, lovely boutique shopping and art galleries. climate is moderate, and the sea is warm and the main beach has official Shark Spotters, and life guards (during season) on most beaches.
