    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    This is a beautiful home in a lovely setting, close to beaches and the Robberg Peninsula. The room was extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated with many small touches to make us feel at home. There is a lovely swimming pool with loungers to relax on, if you are not too busy exploring the many things Plettenberg Bay has to offer. The hosts had helpfully prepared a booklet with information on places to visit and eat. They were on hand to offer advice but never intrusive. We loved our stay here. We would give it more than 10/10 if we could!

    I had the most pleasant four-night stay at Calm Waters Guesthouse. My hosts, Kecia and Lionel, were wonderfully welcoming and helpful. The room was everything I needed and more—extremely comfortable, beautifully appointed, and with thoughtful attention to every detail. The guesthouse is conveniently located opposite the Robberg Bay Shopping Centre and just a short walk from the beach. I am truly grateful to my gracious hosts for making my stay so memorable.

    Awesome experience. The area is clean, save, a supermarket nearby. The host is amazingly nice, she explained us everything we needed to know. She was always reachable, but we never had the feeling we needed to talk if we dont want to, so it was absolutely amazing stay no doubt we would book again!

    One small thing. On one side of the bed, the location of the adapter was just too a little far for the phone charger and cable to reach from the bedside table. As indicated, a very small thing, however...

    A very comfortable and well-equipped studio apartment. Highly professionally run operation and super organised.

    This lovely room in Kecia and Lionel's guesthouse is in a great location for the beach, for the incredible Robberg Hiking Trail and for good coffee/breakfast at the close by Delia's. The room has everything you need and is very pleasing to the eye. Very personal welcome treats and great list of things to do in the area too. There is also a pool but we didn't have a chance to use it sadly. Felt very safe and secure with car behind electric gate. It was lovely to chat to the hosts and to say hello to their lovely English bulldog, Honey. We'll definitely be back if visiting Plett again!

    Very clean, very comfortable property. Great hosts! The facilities provided in room are great. The property is also located at a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. There is a shopping complex right opposite the property, which allows for snack and food shopping. Also very close to the Robberg Hiking Trail, which is a must do, if you’re ever in this part of the country. Honey is also an amazing host. Great for the best belly rubs!
