The Old Rectory

Situated in the heart of Plettenberg Bay, just a short stroll from the town's sandy beaches, The Old Rectory is an intimate boutique retreat with centuries of history. The building itself dates to 1777 and is a national monument, and while there's a sense of heritage here, it's balanced with a fresh, modern style. The 18 suites are bright and airy, painted in white to amplify the natural light, and come with private open-plan bathrooms complete with deep bathtubs and waterfall showers. All overlook the gardens and have a private terrace area where you can relax in the sun. Further indulgence can be found in the property's spa, which offers a range of massages and treatments.
