Enjoyable Stay
Great stay and accommodation. Warm welcome and helped with bags by Stonard. Within secure golf complex but away from golf course. Great views to Plett especially from the pool area. Stayed in a rondavel which was different and had peaceful sleep. Good filling breakfast with attentive service from the staff. Would stay again.

Schöne Aussicht, Anlage aber in die Jahre gekommen
Die Lage, die Aussicht waren top! Wir haben hier drei Tage verbracht. Die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig. Allerdings merkt man der Einrichtung an, dass sie schon ein paar Jahre auf dem Buckel hat. Leider können wir das Frühstück überhaupt nicht empfehlen. Im Vergleich zu anderen Häusern entlang der Garden Route war es enttäuschend! Angelika und Mario

The whaling station
A very nice b and b, with very nice hosts. Situated within a golf club so not walking distance to town and restaurants. Besides that, a nice place!
