Bathed in dazzling sunshine, The Old Rectory Hotel & Spa is a luxurious hideaway just a few sandy steps from the beach in Plettenberg Bay. The charming heritage building – a National Monument which has been immaculately restored and reimagined as an enchanting boutique hotel – comprises 18 stylish suites as well as a sparkling swimming pool with a deck shaded by ancient milkwoods, a tranquil in-house spa and a popular bistro-inspired restaurant.
Although it sits in the heart of bustling Plettenberg Bay, the hotel's thoughtful design means that one is never short on peace and quiet. This oasis of calm, with its peaceful enclosed garden and generously-proportioned suites – each with their own private outdoor spaces – gives guests the option to escape a little (or a lot) whenever the mood strikes. The hotel is also perfectly positioned for days of fun and exploration, providing easy access to Plett's wide, white-sand beaches, the long, narrow Keurbooms Lagoon, the dense indigenous forests that unfold along the coastline and the raw beauty of the Robberg Nature Reserve.
The design of our airy Garden Suites is inspired by the rich texture and colour of the surrounding landscape. Fresh and sophisticated with eye-catching South African art and pops of vivid colour, these luxury suites feature king-sized beds, an open-plan en-suite bathroom with walk-in rain shower and their own sunny gardens.
