Holidays in Plettenberg Bay

Plettenberg Bay is undoubtedly one of the best places in South Africa as a resting place. For miles you can see and walk the white sandy beaches and get lost in the feeling of total relaxation. The miles of beaches of Plettenberg Bay makes you feel as if you are lost in time.

The weather makes the difference. In Plettenberg Bay you will find that the wind does not blow as much as any other town down along the Garden Route in the Western Cape. The sunshine lasts for about 300 days of the year, making it a great holiday destination.

Accommodation Western Cape

Whale Watching is one of the best tourist attractions around the Plett area. Even watching them from the Rooberg Reserve, you can see these huge mammals enjoying the water, feeding their little ones. They are in Plettenberg Bay from about July until January, but you might see the most of them during the last few months.

The Robberg Nature Reserve is also a great tourist attraction and maybe this is because you stand at the southern point of Africa experiencing this beautiful nature. The Island in the Robberg Nature Reserve is great for sitting and looking as the huge wave's splashes against the rocks. It makes you feel small.
