Built on a dramatic headland with stunning beaches either side, this palatial mansion is one of South Africa’s finest hotels. Developed at the turn of the century as a stately home in an exclusive setting, the Plettenberg offers its guests first class service, lavish accommodation and striking vistas of the sea, mountains and beach.
The Plettenberg is located close to the many attractions of Plettenberg town and serves as a convenient stop-off point for those travelling South Africa’s famous Garden Route, particularly those wanting to view the marine migration.
Along with its sister properties, Cellars-Hohenort and the Marine Hermanus, the Plettenberg is part of the McGrath Collection.
