Bitou River Lodge | Plettenberg Bay

We're right on the Bitou River in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa... you can watch the birds on the river from your bed, explore the wetlands by canoe, relax in a hammock at the pool or swim at one of Plett's nearby beaches. Enjoy full farmhouse breakfasts and country hospitality at our award-winning, four-star guest house.

Each of the five en-suite rooms has its own entrance, patio, TV, bar fridge, and barbecue facilities. The view from all the rooms is of the garden and river. Every room is heated and the guest lounge and breakfast room also have cosy fireplaces.

Check out our website for the many activities in the area - or don't do a thing! - instead put up your feet & bird watch from the veranda, or borrow a book from our library and read in the sun!

Guest Lounge Credit: Bitou River Lodge All our rooms have underfloor heating; in winter we also light a fire in the guest lounge as a cosy accompaniment to books, games, puzzles - and a good bottle of wine...

Canoeing on the Bitou River Credit: Bitou River Lodge Feel like some alone time? Some soul time? No better place to get away from it all than on the river in one of the Lodge canoes... perhaps with binos for bird- or otter-spotting? Crew optional. Life jackets available.
