The warm welcome from Coleen and making you feel at home. The breathtaking views from the room.

Boruchowitz South Africa

We loved the exquisite property and home and very warm welcome. Our room was spacious and serene. The bed and linen was so comfy and cozy. Excellent security. Walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants if you don't mind a hill or two. We had a good rest and felt revived after our 3 days in Plett. Would definitely book again. Thanks Colleen xx

Bronwen South Africa

We enjoyed the beautiful apartment and the anazing view

Leja Germany

Its very close to the center and the staff is always there if you have questions.

Angela Switzerland

Breathtaking view! The room is very spacious. Walking distance from restaurants and other facilities. I would highly recommend this lovely property.

Antoinette South Africa

Very comfortable spacious room in a house, with all the necessary amenities and a stunning view through huge windows.

Hazel South Africa

I loved the location because it is on the quieter side of Plett. The rooms are amazing. They are very clean, spacious and have incredible views of the lagoon. I actually slept with the blinds open so I could catch the beautiful sunrise. Colleen is an amazing host, she agreed to change my booking to the next day. Her staff is also super friendly. This home is both beautiful and comfortable. I'd definitely love to stay here again.

Ms South Africa

Getting there was straight forward. Megan was waiting for us, which was lovely. The room was exceptionally clean. The area is quiet which was good because we wanted to relax. The view was good, the property is second row from the beach( if we don’t count the green belt) you can see the beach but difficult to hear the waves. Megan was an excellent host she went beyond to meet our need and to make sure we enjoy our stay. Oh, their bathroom have heated floor😀.

Oko South Africa

Lovely location. Beautifully appointed. Great stay

Olley South Africa

THE VIEW - it was simply mindblowing! The whole house and the garden was very beautiful, there is a secure parking space for every room, the room itself was very spacious and the bed was super comfortable. We even didn't want to leave the room cause we were so mesmerized by the view from the windows :) The owner (Colleen) was very friendly and welcoming - she explained the alarm system and the keys for us, and there was also a very detailed guide in the room, with all information about the house rules and the area. The place and the neighborhood felt very safe. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Plettenberg Bay!

  • Hello A bit confused as to what the accomodation is ie it says entire house (for the most expensive of the 3 options)but no private entrance nor kitchen listed in the facilities so can you please confirm is it a house rental or just a room in a house as listing is rather confusing? Thank you
    Hello, It is a room rental in a private house. There are no kitchen facilities and room 2 and 3 have a semi private entrance but room 1 is through the main house. So it is a room in a house. Hope this clarifies things Colleen

I am a 58 year old housewife. I used to work at Periwinkle Lodge but retired 4 years ago. I have multiple sclerosis which affects my balance, so I look like a drunkard when I walk. Running a B&B keeps me busy and active. I enjoy meeting people.
Lookout Lodge is in a quiet section of Plett. We are within walking distance of town, Lookout Beach and The Market Square. There is plenty to see and do in Plettenberg bay.
