Plettenberg Park is an exclusive and unique hotel found in the heart of the South African Garden Route and yet only minutes away from the holiday mecca of Plettenberg Bay.
Open spaces and the symmetry of both natural and man made structures play many roles at Plettenberg Park, not only in terms of the panoramic views across the ocean and savannah behind, but also within the architecture of the hotel itself.
Plettenberg Park is an all-weather hotel, brilliant and lazy in summer sunshine, with spectacular arching views of the ocean, whilst in winter experience the wild, blustery and enveloping days saturated with log fires and wraps.
The interior of the hotel is somewhat contemporary, with a dash of sophistication and mixed with local ingredients reflecting the trends of today, be it comfort, restraint or sophistication; all of which suits the most discerning tastes. The decor hand picked by interior designer Sarah Stevens consists of natural materials and neutral tones that permeate the entire hotel. Plettenberg Park boasts a private art collection by Tamsin Relly from Knysna as well as a photography collection by Clinton Friedman.
