Just a five-minute drive from Plettenberg’s bustling Main Street and right across the road from the pristine Blue Flag beach, The Robberg Beach Lodge offers 29 rooms and cottages in different sizes. They all have an exclusive beach-style decor with sliding doors that open onto private gardens or covered porches, and are ensuite with walk-in shower and heated towel rails. Further amenities are free WiFi, air conditioning, satellite TV, a fully stocked minibar, tea and coffee facilities and a digital safe. Two outdoor pools, two lounges, two honesty bars and a rooftop viewing deck offer a front row seat to the bay’s spectacle, where dolphins dance on the waves and you might even spot a few whales. The Robberg Restaurant serves its famous breakfast buffet, inside or al fresco on the deck, and you’re more than welcome to swing by for an à la carte lunch or a delicious dinner.
