David
A beautiful property with lots of space. Lots of great mutual lounging space. Close to restaurants.
Andrew
Stayed in the Captains room and it’s very nice. Easy access to the pool. Nice breakfast and friendly staff
Daniel
It is a magnificent property with great facilities. Well located enough. But Plattenberg is a plain soulless residential seaside town. No quality in terms of restaurants.
The property is closed to shops, cafés and beach (if you don’t mind the very steep hike back).

Stunning property. Beautiful views.
After 3 weeks throughout Africa, this was the best hot water, high pressure shower of all our stops. The bed linens smelled like fresh soap. The free breakfast was delicious. Wonderful stay!

Truly magical, the best place ever
Wow just wow. I wish there was a rating higher than 10. Ocean watch is beautiful and perfect in every single way. It is 5 star in comfort, beauty, views and service. Honestly the nicest place we have ever stayed. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Nice guest house
We stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms are nice. We had the rose room which had everything we needed. The staff are friendly and there was plenty of parking. It's only 5-10 minutes walk to all of the local amenities. The communal areas are wonderful and the views are fantastic.

Great b&b in Plett
Lovely b&b in Plett! Views from our room (Shell room) were incredible. It’s within walking distance from main street and the beach although my understanding generally in SA is that you shouldn’t really walk at night.
The only thing to mention is that this is probably the smallest room we stayed in, in SA. There’s little room for manoeuvre with suitcases etc!

Room with a truly spectacular view
This place really did have the wow factor. Such a fabulous view from our room and the terrace. There was wonderful attention to detail right across the property. Also very friendly staff.
Tommy H
Perfect spot in Plettenberg Bay.
Great location within walking distance to restaurants/shops in town, the beach and a great lookout point up the hill (keep left out of the hotel). Great service, especially from Anita. Super-charming rooms. Wonderful terrace overlooking the ocean and town. Highly recommend!
Rachelle
Great B&B!
Beautiful B&B! Clean, decorated lovely, very comfortable and great view of the ocean! Close to restaurants- within walking distance. Highly recommend!
Elizabeth
Beautiful hotel with amazing views!
When I was first shown to my room, I was speechless. The hotel is so lovely and beautifully decorated. It is also meticulous. The deck outside my room in the upper floor is one of the most beautiful I have seen anywhere in the world. The breakfasts are healthy and very good and the dining area also has beautiful views. Vanessa and the staff are warm and welcoming. This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in all my travels. I would not think of staying anywhere else should I return here one day.

What a view
Ocean Watch is correct. What a view from our apartment.
Lovely apartment, comfy terrace, fabulous breakfast.
Walkable to local restaurants and bars.
Plettenburg is beautiful with the most amazing beach. It's just a shame we were only there one night.
Vanessa was a great host, Highly recommend.

Great place to stay.
Great place with amazing ocean views. Located just by the beach. Very modern interior, specious and light. I would strongly recommend this place and would stay again.
Karel
A wonderful B & B in the centre of Plettenberg Bay
Right from the moment of arrival, when we were welcomed by the manageress Vanessa, until the time of departure, after 3 most comfortable days, incredible experience: the B & B itself, the staff, the location - all superb. One can't praise enough. It has to be sen and experienced to believe what the guests can enjoy. Sadly, we couldn't enjoy the pool, though (stayed at Ocean Breeze G. H. 5th to 8th May), though.

Amazing views with cigarettes smoke
We got the family suit which was excellent, clean and comfortable. It was just on the upper balcony with amazing views of the ocean. However they allow smoking on the balcony so our room filled with smoke from the other guests. Also the BBQ for the use of all the rooms where right next to our room so they were having dinner all evening almost in our room.
Danielle
Would stay again!!!
Very easy! No hassles! The kitchen staff was very nice and we had a lovely breakfast with a view! We checked in late and the process was very easy and the owner was incredibly accommodating. Would definitely stay again, and perhaps longer than just one day! It was perfect!

Super Guest House with fabulous views
Great Guest House. The room was superb and the shared communal spaces were beautifully done with great views over the bay
Jo
Lovely guest house, fantastic sea view
Stunning guest house. Port in rooms and spread throughout the gorgeous places to sit and relax. Restaurant and contuitu? at the end of the road offers excellent food and service in a bustling atmosphere just a short walk from the guest house. Breal fast was lovely too sat watching dolphins in the bay. Communal balcony, but big enough to find your own space. FIRST class guest house. Thank you
