Plettenberg Bay hotels: frequently asked questions

What is Robberg Nature Reserve and how close is it to Plettenberg Bay?

Robberg Nature Reserve is a rugged coastal peninsula and Cape fur seal colony right on the edge of Plettenberg Bay, just a few minutes' drive from the town centre, with hiking trails along dramatic cliffs above the Indian Ocean.

Can you see whales and dolphins from Plettenberg Bay?

Yes. Southern right and humpback whales are commonly seen close to shore from June to November, and bottlenose and common dolphins are regular visitors to the bay year-round.

Why is December so busy in Plettenberg Bay?

Plettenberg Bay is one of the Garden Route's most popular summer holiday towns, and the mid-December to early-January school break draws large numbers of South African visitors, so rates rise and accommodation books out well in advance.

What natural features surround Plettenberg Bay?

The town sits between the Tsitsikamma forests and the Keurbooms and Bitou river lagoons, with indigenous forest, wetlands and long sandy beaches all within a short drive of the centre.

Do these Plettenberg Bay stays offer free cancellation?

Most do. Every room shows whether it is refundable and the cancellation deadline before you pay.
