Plettenberg Bay Travel Guide

 didgeridorien Says:  The game reserve of Plettenberg Bay is the largest of the Southern Cape. It has all the big animals you want to see such as lions, zebras, hippos, giraffes, waterbuffalos, wildebeast, crocodiles, rhinos and all sorts of antilopes. You can also spend the night in their lodge.

 mvtouring Says:  At Harkerville you will find a little cluster of shops with a restaurant and the labyrinth that you can walk. The labyrinth is of lavender, so you have fantastic smells coming from the plants, but beware as there are quite a number of bees also enjoying the flowers. 

 mvtouring Says:  A visit to the elephant sanctuary is not cheap, but worth the money I think. We decided to not only feed and touch the elephants and walking with them in the forest but also to go for a ride. Not a very comfortable ride I must say, but well worth it.

 unclenessy Says:  Enrico's has an excellent location on the beach but don't let that hide the fact that they serve very average food and beware of the green 'pesto' they put on the table prior to the starter arriving. I spread some on the garlic and mozarella bread to discover it was chilli... 

 unclenessy Says:  The food at the Lookout is basic and delicious. Massive portions abound and both seafood and steak didn't fail to impress. The ambience is definitely on the relaxed side with an almost constant demand for 'seaview' tables and friendly and efficient waiting staff.The view is... 

 olivert Says:  We found the Art Cafe in Plett to be one of the warmest atmospheres around and the "home made" food was truly exceptional. They bake their own bread, grow their own organic lettuce (picked daily) and make their own sausage! The Asparagus, Artichoke and 3 Cheese Quiche is to... 

 TRimer Says:  After a disappointing stop in many of the shops on Main Street (the jewelry shop was selling silver made in Mexico), I stumbled across the Art House and was pleasantly surprised. They carry a lovely collection of art, furniture, jewellery, home-ware, pottery, clothing,...
