Stunning location and a beautiful, comfortable guest house. Extremely welcoming and friendly staff

Noise from rooms above mine woke me super early which was not great

Beautiful location with great view. An older house with enormous charm. Beautiful room, well maintained. Breakfast was delicious, especially the croissant.

We did encounter a problem at checkin. We arrived after checkin hours but had notified the property in advance. However, when we arrived nobody answered the bell and we couldn't reach the posted phone number. Were let in afetr my husband called the number posted on Google maps! Staff was apologetic and very accommodating though.

Beautiful views Lovely house Helpful staff Good breakfast

It was a cold evening and we sat in the lounge area. The fire place was not working so we couldn't make a fire to warm ourselves We were assigned room 2 which had a horrible damp smell. We moved to room 3 Room 1 had a leak between the basin and shower Room 5 had a horrible sewerage smell

Wunderbare Lage Tolles Personal Zauberhaftes Hotel

Komfort der Betten schlecht Standard Zimmer klein

Beautiful setting and great access to Robberg Beach 🙌🏽

Posizione favolosa la vista dell’oceano dal giardino

Everything was perfect.

Super house on the beach at the quiet end of Plettenberg Bay. Gorgeous big room no 6.with a Veranda by the pool. Comfy bed. Helpful staff. Pretty garden, idyllic position. Use of coffee machine and an honesty bar in a lovely sitting room. The whole house beautifully decorated.

No air con. Uncomfortable clanky iron tables and chairs in the breakfast area. Breakfast not great, so many bakery’s around, perhaps croissants or delicious bread would have been nice, poor fruit salad and the yogurt not live. The cooked breakfast was fine. Just if you’re health conscious…..?

Wunderschönes Haus in perfekter Dünenlage. Schade, dass wir nur eine Nacht hier waren.

The property is on the beach and in a save area to walk, run or cycle.

The room was very small and no privacy. If you open your door it is in the walking area to the kitchen. The linen is old and the bathrooms need a do over.

Beautiful interior and location—and very helpful staff.

Breakfast didn’t run on time so made it hard for our one night stay and trying to get to our next location. But otherwise everything was 10/10

Location staff and breakfast were wonderful. Nothing too much trouble. Next time we'll book a slightly larger room, but we were very comfortable.

The property is gorgeous and well maintained. Staff very welcoming and friendly

Absolutely stunning stay, breakfast on the patio overlooking the beach was just amazing. The staff were kind and friendly and super welcoming. Room was gorgeous and had everything we needed.

nothing, it was perfect!

An exquisite view of the Robberg beach teamed with wonderful staff and an incredibly beautiful room, made for the most amazing stay. Thank you

Quite the most beautiful place I have stayed in.

Good access to the beach.

Limited viewing on the TV.

Really lovely little guest house! Super friendly staff and a great breakfast. It’s nice and quiet, with a short +/- 100m walk through the garden on a boardwalk to the beach. It was a bit cold when we visited, but the pool still looked super inviting. It’s just outside the main town, which is great for avoiding the crowds — just make sure you’ve got a car to get around.

I really can't fault the guest house. If I had to complain about anything it would have to be the weather which can change on a dime, but that's more down to the time of year that we visited.

Ample breakfast - hot and cold options with gorgeous outside area overlooking garden and ocean view. Offer to source gluten free products was appreciated

The shared seating area was little cramped and could do with some decluttering. I can’t imagine how full it must be when all 12 guests are in the house.

Wonderful location and setting - beach views and access! Wendy couldn't have been more helpful with suggestions of where to dine and helping with reservations. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating.

Would have liked a little more choice of breakfast, Location good.

Plumbing needs upgrading Fan not adequate

- beautiful house in a perfect setting and easy access to the beach. - friendly and accommodating house staff. - breakfast with a sea view.

- lacking good ventilation / cooling. No air-con and only front door was possibility for airflow which you can’t leave fully open at night (security). Affected sleep for me personally. - very small room (room 5) and could have been laid out better. - no fridge.

Location brilliant

Breakfast, continental selection - cereals, fruit etc - not up to standard.

The most breathtaking location

The most beautiful property in a stunning location. Our room was so lovely and comfortable. Wendy and Eunice looked after us so well. The two dogs Marley and Summer were an additional bonus. We didn’t want to leave. Plettenberg Bay is so beautiful❤️

Loved everything

everything was wonderful

nothing

Friendly and personal attention from management. First class, home cooked breakfast. Little extras like all day help yourself tea coffee and rusks. Fabulous views.

There's a lovely patio seating area available to all guests It was right outside our room so it was a little noisy and we lacked some privacy.

Dolphins are playing in the waves, great people, great vibes, awesome place...👌🏼 Wholesome breakfast too...It's a winner...

Beautifully situated a stones throw from the beach with magnificent views from the garden Delicious breakfast Lovely decor

The room was a little cold with no heater other than an electric blanket on the bed

Absolutely charming. Right by beach. Wonderful helpful staff and excellent breakfast. A total must in terms of the best Plettenberg has to offer. Ps. Huge firm beds !

Not a thing

The room was absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and the breakfast was super yummy! The guesthouse has a lovely ocean view from the front garden. Although we did not have a sea view room, we could hear the ocean in our room, which was lovely. All the staff working at the guesthouse was super friendly - especially Wendy! She showed genuine interest and helped by providing valuable recommendations to us as first-time Plett visitors ;)

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

Immaculate place, beautifully created overlooking the sea. Fabulous breakfast.

O

Superb location -very polite and friendly staff. Wonderful bfst on the terrace overlooking the sea

Location and view is amazing!

Room 1. Unfortunately room 1 is located right next to the kitchen and walkway. Therefore, you are unable to sleep in a bit as it's very noisy when breakfast is being prepared from the early hours of the morning. I'm sure the other rooms are great though.

We loved the situation and proximity to the beach. A quick drive into town too.

Nothing

The location of the guest house is fabulus with great views and proximity to the beach . very easy for early morning ealks along a super beach . Wendy and Quentin were both very welcoming and helpful .breakfast was freshly cooked ( hot option ) along with fresh fruit and buffet options . The guest house felt secure and the pool was an added bonus .

Great location. Fabulous staff. Delicious breakfast

Bed wasnt very comfortable

The whole house is beautiful, the rooms are spacious, and its right on the beach. Looks exactly like the photos!

N/A

Was good, thank you.

Position was amazing and staff super friendly

Lovely location. Beautiful beach house.

TV was tiny and lacked channels. Breakfast options were limited but was freshly made.

Karien is a lovely host. Cooked us a nice meal and provided well stocked accommodation perfectly suited for a pit stop stay over.

Both excellent

The feeling was very personal and informal. The staff took good care of us, very helpful. The view over the beach was fantastic.

No.

Excellent location with lovely views over the ocean. Good breakfast and nice areas to relax

For the price it was missing some extras one would expect like a nespresso machine and toiletries including shampoo etc

Southern Cross Beach House is a guesthouse in Plettenberg Bay near the sea. There is a coffee-/tea machine and fridge in the restaurant that you can use. Wifi works reasonably well. You cannot park your car next to your room, but staff will assist you with your luggage.The parking area is locked with an automatic gate. In sum, it is not too bad, but seriously overpriced.

The rooms are tastefully decorated, but the one we had was very small with little space for luggage and moving around (10 m2). The beds are quite small too. The rooms have the usual facilities, but no airco. The windows cannot be opened, so this might be a problem with hot days. One room is next to the restaurant, which leads to a lack of privacy, as everything is quite cramped together. Breakfast is a bit sparse and inconsistent (one day there was no cheese) and only starts at 8:30. Staff is not friendly and not keen to make guests feel at home. There are two big dogs running around the property, and also in the restaurant, when one is eating, which did not impress us in terms of hygiene.

Very beautiful house with very nice interior in the rooms. Direct view of the sea from the garden and breakfast area. Freshly prepared breakfast from Wendy (the manager) with crepes and full english breakfast available. Warm welcome and easy check-in.

On some mornings it took 5 minutes until the water in the shower got warm.

Beautiful beach house, very friendly staff, great breakfast

The best holiday resort! We loved this small scale, luxurious B&B. The facilities are superb, from location on the beach, swimming pool to the room and the fresh cooked breakfast, but it is the staff that make the place! Thank you once more Wendy for all the tips to discover Plett!

Nothing

Brightly furnished with a comfortable bed with good linen.

Room was smaller than expected and the bathroom / shower was dated.

Location and staff

Breakfast was very nice and versatile. Lovely location with boardwalk down to the pristine beach. Friendly staff

Room was a bit small especially for luggage. Although we love animals, we didnt enjoy them around our table whilst eating and the dogs also went for my husband when he went to get something from his car later in the evening. I think they should just take care about that. DSTV did not have sport channels

I booked for my family members and this was their feedback: Lovely small room beautifully decorated, perfect for an over night stay. Great location close to the beach, even though the room does not have a view of the sea. Great friendly host.

The room does not have a private outdoor area and can get a bit small if you are planning on not just sleeping in the room, but great for an over night accommodation.

Very friendly and accommodating staff! Breakfast was very good, and also we got it bit earlier due to early plans, which was extremely nice :) The common areas were inviting: ocean view, swimming pool, beautiful garden and breakfast area. There is a path to the beach straight from the property. We also got a very good recommendation for a restaurant for dinner.

The location was perfect. The rooms fantastic and facilities all comfortable and stylish. The staff were amazing and Wendy the manager was just brilliant.

It was all wonderful

Position and welcoming staff.

Geared very much for summer and not enough provision made for cold, wet days. There was an electric blanket but no other form of heating. Appreciate we have the problem with loadshedding but there are ways of getting round it. A good heated towel rail in the bathroom would have helped. We stayed here about a few years ago and could not find fault with anything. Felt this time that it was a little ‘tired’. Some maintenance needed. The toilet didn’t flush well - problem with the handle.

Sensational

Not mych - maybe a few more feather pillows

Great location and breakfast!

The room was a little small.

Words cannot describe how wonderful our stay was at the Southern Cross Beach House: our warm and generous host Wendy gave us a very much appreciated upgrade upon arrival, room 6 is stunning, spacious and very private. The bed is very comfortable and the room is very clean. The house is ideally located with an easy boardwalk to the long sandy beach and view of the Robberg nature reserve and Tsisikama mountains. The excellent breakfast served on the terrace with the view of the mountains coocked by Wendy and her team was delicious. If you are lucky, one or both of the two resident dogs will grace you with their presence. We had a very special stay (thank you, Wendy, for great and funny conversations), and we certainly will be back.

everything.

Breakfast was made to order which was lovely! Also cinnamon pancakes made by Wendy were absolutely delicious! The view of the beach was just incredible and the access to it was amazing too. We felt very comfortable and really enjoyed playing with the owners two dogs Marley and Summer. It was great having the fridge stocked with soft drinks plus beer and wine ( honestly bar) and complimentary tea and coffee. Wendy the manager knows the area really well and can suggest many different restaurants and places to see.

Everything was wonderful so nothing negative to say at all😊

This B and B is wonderful, we have to come back ! The staff were so friendly, helpful , lovely dogs, situated in a perfect location overlooking the ocean, the owners have decorated it in a lovely, happy way. Brekky was delicious, wendy welcomed us with all the info we needed etc, so kind. Lovely pool to cool off in. There was nothing I could fault. Even going above and beyond the call with kindness and bin liners ! (Don’t ask). I really really hope to return to be able to sit and enjoy the B and B again.

Nothing

Wow! This beautiful house is absolutely amazing; the view, the room, the breakfast, the friendly staff and the luxurious feel to it.

Nothing.

The Southern Cross Beach House is situated right above the beach with direct access. The view from the terrace is amazing and we loved the family athmosphere and the home made food for breakfast.

Fabulous views fantastic location
