Boasting panoramic views of Bahia Formosa Bay and the Tsitsikamma and Outeniqua Mountains, this charming guest house is a great base during stays in Plettenberg Bay. Decorated in soft, earthy tones, Aquavit Guest House radiates a welcoming atmosphere. Start the day with breakfast on the terrace and marvel at views of the Indian Ocean, where whales can be spotted in season from June to November. Guests can also enjoy a swim in the rim-flow pool or treat themselves to a professional massage. Thanks to the small number of rooms, guests are ensured personal service at all times. Relax in the comfort of your room or in the spacious guest lounge.
