Our room has a direct exit to the rooftop bar (The Palms), had a most comfortable bed and great shower!
Beautiful place in general. The team on site is helpful, the food is delicious and cocktails are great!
Location is awesome. It’s central and you can walk around. No dedicated parking but plenty of space around to leave the car.
Special thanks to the team for all the help with the luggage, late check in and room upgrade!
Love it and definitely going back again!

Our stay at Cliffhanger Cottages was incredible and we would highly recommend it to anyone. The attention to detail left us wanting for nothing and we were absolutely blown away by the views, visible from everywhere in the cottage, including the shower!
The braii on the balcony & watching the sunset over the mountains are truly highlights of a wonderful trip on the garden route.
Close enough to Knysna for shops etc. but distanced enough to fully immerse and hear nothing but nature.
Some amazing hikes nearby with waterfalls and streams to bathe in during the summer months.
We'll definitely be back next time!
Thanks, Dean and Nikita!

The staff were absolutely fantastic. My parents were staying here and when there was a medical emergency the staff, particularly the two receptionists on duty that evening and the security guard, were super helpful and the manager even personally brought them home from the hospital at around 2am. The staff went above and beyond!
Room and facilities were nice and modern. Breakfasts were good. Location relative to main Knysna area is perfect. Many things in walking distance.

We stayed in Greenbeard Treetop, which had the most amazing 180° views of the forest.
Our accommodation was very comfortable, with all the kitchen equipment you require, great outdoor Braai,
an incredible view from the bath. A minimum of 2 nights is a must. This is a real GEM in South Africa.

Plettenberg Bay is probably the heart of the Garden Route, encapsulating the true feeling of freedom combined with nature and recreation. this part of the South African cost line is probably the most sought after location in the world. combining forestry with river front and fishing, canoeing, leisure, natures best and rest.

We really enjoyed Sedgefield, the beaches are superb and Sedgefield is close to everything we wanted to explore in the area, we did the Knysna Parkrun and also hiked in the Knysna forest.
I had fun searching for and photographing all the amazing mosaics in Sedgefield - this was an unexpected and fun 'treasure hunt', although I am sure I didn't find them all

We stayed at a wonderful guest house which delivered views towards Knysna and Belvidere and we spent a lot of time there. It was a winter holiday so we didnt spend time at the beach and it was an easy commute to Knysna. Perhaps a little daunting for some to drive up - and down - at night in the dark with no lights, but the road is in good condition and the lines are visible.

The Crags is handy for so many great places and beaches. It is easy to reach on the N2 and the locals are very friendly and helpful. The Superette has a very good stock of most items and Bread and Brew next door serves delicious meals and takeaway goodies (B and B ) closed on Mondays but the shop and garage are open 7 days a week. Peppermill, Blue Rocks cafe, Asado, Mobys and The Lookout are all good places to eat.

Buffelsbaai is a unpolished gem and the ocean and surroundings brings a special kind of calm to your soul that is not easy to put pen to paper about! it is beyond your imagination! We wandered around and did the Buffels Bay Hiking Trail and had something to drink at the Beach Restaurant and the people attending to our needs went out of their way to be so very kind and attentive.
Buffels Bay is very easy to get around to and everything is SO neat and well kept!!

Knysna is a beautiful place, Booking the right place takes time, but it is in most cases worth the money, if you do your research properly. Most bookings are walking distance to town or restaurants. And if not, an Uber, is inexpensive, to getting you to your location. Ubers are quick and every experience there is amazing.

Plettenberg Bay is a sophisticated beach town. so much to do within short distances; beach walks, nature reserves, boat trips, whale watching, kayaking, fabulous restaurants, lovely boutique shopping and art galleries. climate is moderate, and the sea is warm and the main beach has official Shark Spotters, and life guards (during season) on most beaches.
