About Plettenberg Park Hotel
Plettenberg Park is an all-weather hotel, brilliant and lazy in summer sunshine, with spectacular views of the ocean, whilst in winter you can experience the wild, blustery days with the comfort of log fires and wraps.
The interior of the hotel is contemporary and sophisticated. The architecture is refreshingly simple, with high ceilings and a skylight running the length of the entrance hall, and lots of windows and wide terraces to allow for maximum viewing of the sea panorama.
The decor has an airy and uncluttered Afro-Colonial feel and uses only natural materials. The rooms are large and nicely furnished, and offer spectacular views.
The cuisine at Plettenberg Park is what its reputation has been built on. The chef is happy to create a menu around your specific needs and preferences. You can dine whenever and wherever you choose; indoors, outdoors, around the pool by candlelight, or on the sea-deck. Breakfast is a full buffet, with an endless choice of fish, meats and dairy products.
The hotel is situated on 450 acres of land with approximately 2 miles of cliff faced shoreline. The park has three natural wetlands plus a large dam filled with bass. The indigenous vegetation consists of fynbos and proteas.
The park abounds with small game and animals such as grysbok, mongoose, baboon, bushbuck and cape clawless otter, as well as several species of snake. Over 65 bird species have been noted on the reserve including loerie, herons, falcons, crowned eagles, spotted eagle owls, giant kingfishers, sunbirds and cormorants.
Plettenberg Park has an outstanding coastline, which is an excellent platform from which to view the humpback whales that visit this stretch of ocean in winter, as well as the numerous schools of dolphin that are playful residents all year round.
