The Old Rectory

We were absolutely spoilt by the hotel staff. The service was fantastic and little personal touches every day added to the overall experience. The food was great. Free breakfast had a great selection of freshly prepared dishes. Lots of space around the pool. 2min walk to the beach, 10min walk along the beach to a few restaurants, ATM, a cafe. A hidden gem in a perfect location!

Incredible! The rooms are impeccably clean, modern and fresh, and the staff provide many additional thoughtful touches. Dinner was superb in the restaurant, and the location was everything!

Plett’s the perfect place as base for garden route holiday - the old Rectory was simply amazing

I loved every minute of my 8 nights. The hotel was charming, the staff so kind and helpful and the food delicious. My room was always spotless and was very stylish with everything I needed and a little bit of outside space.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, fantastic staff and food. A beautiful haven here in Plettenberg

A lovely small hotel, nicely furnished, quiet, a good location near the beach and with an excellent and creative restaurant.

Fantastic boutique hotel, beautifully designed, integrating art from South Artists and keeping with the heritage of the property. The staff were friendly, warm and professional and provided an excellent service. The hotel has a lovely pool, and is 2 min walk from the beach.

Excellent in all aspects, would recommend. Under rated dining, both steak and fish cooked to highest level, room large, quirky lay out and very good facilities

Beautiful new hotel set in historic building in lovely gardens right by the beach. The pool area was relaxing and the service was generally great (a few staff seemed new and had to check on things before giving us answers, but everyone was very friendly, warm, and professional). We didn’t eat at the restaurant for dinner but the drinks and breakfast were great. The massage at the spa was just ok, but good value for the price. The beach in front of the hotel is stunning (but the water is freezing), and they will set up beach chairs and umbrellas for you on request. The rooms were new and very comfortable, the only thing we didn’t like is that the open plan shower got water all over the place (though it looked great, not super functional). Overall a wonderful stay, we wished we had planned an additional day here to relax on our road trip.

Easy to find with a good size car park. Beautiful white washed buildings on a hill set back from the bay. The beach was a two minute walk down the hill so there was no direct view of the sea from the rooms. Check in was very friendly and efficient and we were given a tour of the building, gardens and pool area - all very nice, peaceful and comfortable with interesting artwork by the pool and on the covered verandah eating area. Pool was refreshing and it was also possible to access the beach via a side gate and short footpath, with staff taking parasol and sun loungers down for guests. Stayed in Room 1 which had a little garden with two sun loungers and a view of the sea beyond the car park and adjacent small access road. Room was a good size with a large comfortable bed and soft crisp linens. Bathroom was also a good size with a toilet off the bathroom, double sinks and a large shower with plenty of hot water and a good flow. Also possible to open the sliding door and have a semi-outside shower. Plenty of towels, including large bath towels all of which were soft. Room was well equipped with tea/coffee station, refrigerator, safe, air conditioning and fan. Everywhere was very clean. Wi-fi was best in reception but poor in the room and outside areas. Breakfast was brought to the table and included continental and hot cooked to order, both very nice. Had dinner twice which was very good. Service was excellent with very attentive and friendly staff. Would return.
