Plettenberg Bay Region
Plettenberg Bay boasts a glorious temperate climate all year round and offers one of the best climates in South Africa. Summers are pleasantly warm with comparatively low humidity, while winters are particularly mild, with year-round rainfall. Spring starts by mid September.

Plettenberg Bay is one of South Africa’s top holiday destinations. The attractive bay is home to two unbelievable beaches, that is Lookout Beach and Robberg Beach. Robberg beach is a true favourite with most visitors to the idyllic coastal town.

A highlight during spring is the arrival of Right whales which breed and calve in the sheltered waters. Lookout Beach offers the best vantage to view these amazing creatures and also offers impressive vistas of the surrounding Outeniqua Mountain range.

The sunsets at Plettenberg Bay are impressive and the ritual of the sundowner are way of life in this relaxed community.

Plettenberg Park
Plettenberg Park is an all-weather hotel, brilliant in sunshine, with wrap around views and a private beach. In winter this country is wild and spectacular. Plettenberg Park has outstanding views from the rocky shores and turbulent seas that offer an excellent platform from which to view the Humpback Whales that visit this stretch of coastline in winter as well as the schools of Dolphin that frolic in the waves year round. Wide open spaces play an important role at Plettenberg Park, not only in terms of the panoramic views across the Indian Ocean and the sprawling savannah behind, but also within the architecture of the hotel itself. The park abounds with wildlife and birdlife with Grysbok, Duiker, mongoose, Dassies (rock rabbit), baboons, Bushbuck, Cape Clawless Otter as well as several species of snake. Over 65 bird species of birdlife have been 'spotted' on the reserve including Loerie, Herons, Falcons, Crowned Eagles, Spotted Eagle Owls, Giant Kingfishers, Sunbirds, Shrikes, Cormorants, and of course seagulls.

Relax in the sun and dip in the cove beach situated below the hotel. Alternatively spend the day around the hotel swimming pool relaxing with your every whim catered for. Boat trips can be arranged to view the seals, dolphins, sharks, penguins, sea-birds and (in season) whales; Robberg Nature Reserve is just 5-minutes away.
