We stayed at the in late 2010. We really expected to like the lodge but it wasn’t as good as we hoped. Part of the problem was we had timed our stay for the end of term so there were noisy students everywhere partying which didn’t help, which is obviously not the hotel’s fault. Nevertheless the atmosphere in the lodge... More

We drove in from Cape Town to be offered a cocktail and an exceptional room with a brilliant view of the Indian Ocean. Peter, the manager, was pleasant, helpful and an exceptional fellow. The rooms were modern, ultraclean and the beds as big and comfortable as one could find anywhere in the world. Although the location is a little far... More

Seven of us stayed and had a wonderful time. The hotel is stunning. The service faultless and very personal. The bedrooms and bathrooms are gorgeous. Loved it all.

stayed there for 3 nights as part of our SA honeymoon in Jan 2011. it was without doubt the best of the 5 places we stayed in. Service was phenomenal from all the staff there, so friendly and helpful with everything. Little things like a drink on arrival, taking all luggage to your room while you relax on the veranda;...

We stayed at the Bay Lodge for four days over New Years. As said in previous reviews, the staff is top notch. Peter, the manager, makes sure everything is handled efficiently. The lodge is very nice and comfortable, which was a good thing since the weather was not very pleasant while we were there. Having a TV and DVD player... More

We had high hopes for Bay Lodge, beautiful house, lovely location, all seemed perfect on paper (or on website). Unfortunately, we found it disappointing. The standard rooms are tiny and expensive for what you get. Service is hit and miss. During our three-night stay, we only had one bath towel two days out of three, toiletries were not replaced and...

The staff at this hotel are out of this world and really make the stay. We were there for 5 nights and the staff couldn't do enough for us. We had the BBQ one night and it was fantastic, would recommend this to future guests! It is close to the main street in Plett, although there is a bit of... More

We stayed in Bay Lodge when driving through Plettenberg and found this lodge seriously overpriced: interior of the lodge itself is nice, but location is disappointing. Beach is nearby but you barely see the ocean from the lodge. Furthermore, the atmosphere was just not very cosy, and there was a lot of noise from the streets during the night, the... More

This boutique hotel offered exactly what one would expect from such a small establishment. We visited in the winter and as such discovered we were the only guests and were to be upgraded to one of the best rooms. Apart from being one of the most beautiful hotels either of us have ever stayed in the service was beyond description,... More
