We had an exceptional stay at Sky Villa Boutique Hotel. We absolutely loved our room, which was beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable. We chose to eat in the restaurant and the food was truly delicious, complemented by a well selected and reasonably priced wine list. Everything from the atmosphere to the service felt top notch. A fantastic experience and somewhere we would happily return to.

Very friendly, helpful staff. Great amenities, loved the gym and pool area. The room was clean and comfortable but lacked a little extra storage and seating.
Would happily stay at Sky Villa again.

We loved our stay at this property. The views were amazing and the room was beautiful. We had dinner at the restaurant both night we were there and the food was fantastic. The welcome drink was delicious. If it had been on the menu we would have had several. The only complaint I have would be the fact that there was no help with the luggage when we checked out and the woman at reception would not allow me to leave the car out front for a couple of minutes so I could help my daughter with the luggage. The service at the end was a real disappointment after such a great stay. For this reason I can’t give it 5 stars.

Room was great - honeymoon suite - very comfortable with fabulous views. Housekeeping a little hit & miss. Bar service poor. Lorette was very helpful in organising a wine tour which was very good. Rooftop pool & bar advertised but not open during our stay - they should advise that this happens when they are not busy.

Be ware the room you get

Wonderful hotel, with wonderful staff. Sadly the room was a huge let down. Impossible set of stairs to navigate to get to the room. The room itself was far too small for what was being charged. A little disappointing truth be told.

This place is an absolute gem! My husband and I truly enjoyed this venue for our last few days in Plettenburg Baii! The venue is absolutely beautiful but I can say that this place wouldn’t be as beautiful as it was without the great staff. The service given was superb and it truly felt like home being there!

Avoid

Not as advertised. Was supposed to have a sea view from our room. Had two windows in our room. One was a skylight and the other was looking into the property next door.
Unsafe stairs to get to our room.
WiFi kept dropping.
Smell of smoke from the fire in our room which lingered on our clothes for the rest of our trip in South Africa.
Breakfast was poor, stale crackers, dried out fruit. Ordered the flapjacks which came with maple syrup and was told they had run out of maple syrup.
On check in we were given a tour of the hotel, asked if we would like to reserve a table for dinner, we said we would. Asked which table we would like, picked it (beside the fire). Came to dinner at our reserved time and our table was giving away. Giving a table in a draft so spent our meal freezing. No apologies made by staff but had the cheek to ask for a tip when paying.

Disappointed

Great potential but disappointing. At check in, we were brought to 4 different rooms - one of which was occupied, before being brought to the correct room. This was okay and we were given a bottle of wine as an apology and offered welcome drinks in our room. The drinks did not arrive, we had to go downstairs after waiting for an hour. The room was lovely and we had been left chocolates however it was noisy - I think there may have been some sort of machine directly under our room? Sounded like a washing machine. Dinner was on the pricier side but nice and service at dinner good. Breakfast service wasn’t great, we were directed to a table then had to ask for a menu and coffee after 10 minutes of waiting. Our order was taken and then was wrong when it arrived. We were not asked how our stay was at check out. We still had a lovely time but compared to some of the other fantastic hotels we have stayed in along the garden route, this one was disappointing.

The hotel was lovely, had previously been for a wedding but hadn’t stayed the night. We have lovely large room with a large outdoor terrace.

The view over Lookout Beach from the dinning area and up the river are beautiful.

Had the calamari and chicken burger for dinner and they were good.

SMALL TOWN GLORY

The internet does NOT do this place justice. 😍 It’s by far one of the best places with an AMAZING VIEWS on the Garden Route.

I must say the breakfast was under whelming, they didn’t have muesli and the juice quality was not so great.

Upon check-out payment had not been allocated and this was a bit annoying as payments usually
come through IMMEDIATELY when booking through the app.

Villa of Dreams

This was our first time at Sky Villa - but certainly not our last. From the moment we arrived we felt special - all the staff go out of their way to go the extra mile, the actual hotel is pristine, the room is spacious and comfortable and the views are to die for!

The finer details were certainly noticed and the general atmosphere makes you want to stay there and never leave - despite all the other surrounding attractions.

We cannot wait to return soon!

Beautiful property, lovely staff, great views. BUT, management needs to train the staff who, with the best will in the world, can't be expected to know the expectations of people paying hundreds of dollars per night for a room in a generally low-cost area. It should have been wonderful, and it wasn't, by far.

The best place to stay at Plettenberg

We enjoyed every second of our stay.
The hotel itself could be an art gallery. The staff were professional and very friendly. We had Stunning views from our room. The room was clean with a comfortable bed. They even have a Nespresso coffee machine in the rooms also the WiFi was the best.
The food (breakfast and dinner) was excellent which was completed by the beautiful view of the ocean from the restaurant. We tried lots of accommodation in South Africa and this one was the best.

So much potential but so disappointing

The hotel was lovely. The service was horrendous and with the exception of one waiter the staff were clueless. On our first night we went to the restaurant for dinner. It wasn’t late and they told us they’d run out of bread for appetiser, 2 couples came in after is and were given bread. The waitress told me they had no local gin and she couldn’t remember what international gin they had. I asked her for a menu and they did have local gin. We had to order or 4th choice wine. The food tasted bland. Every morning the breakfast service was so so slow.l and took on average 80mins each morning. The staff ignored customers. On one morning our waitress disappeared for 10 mins to get a note pad to write down our 1 hot food order. We went back again for dinner a few nights later to give it a 2nd chance. I was recommended the beef short rib. It arrived and was cold in the middle, the fat was solid and cold but had been cooked. I asked the waiter what was going on and he told me it was cooked in the morning and reheated. I was really disappointed that this was the case given the amount of great food and service in the area. We did get our meal for free though as the waiter called the manager and explained our complaint. This place is a lovely hotel but is so far off being ready to provide the experience and service the location and building deserves. Food and service levels along the garden route are fantastic and we were so disappointed that this place let the area down.

Fantastic!

This one's easy to review as a perfect 5/5 since I couldn't fault my stay in an ocean view room. A welcome tray of cheeses, biscuits, fruit and nuts was laid out but my eyes were already drawn to the view of the bay. The balcony was almost as big as the room and was furnished with parasol, lounger, chairs and table. It was honestly tempting just to call room service and not move. The public areas of the hotel were well worth checking out, though. By day it was easy to appreciate the colourful and well tended gardens, by night the pool deck area was attractively lit and the fairy lights in the trees outside reception looked great. The bar looked (and actually was) very welcoming, and the restaurant staff served up a delicious dinner in an attentive and good humoured way. Literally the only false step during my stay was at check in when I was told my room wasn't completely paid for. This was of course an easily checked mistake. I would/will stay here again and recommend the Sky Villa Boutique Hotel without any hesitation.
