Now i understood how the words "boutique" and "backpacker" came together for the name of this residence. Indeed it is a cross between the two - the chilled out life of a backpacker's lodge along with the taste, style, and charm of a boutique residence. The only drawback are that the walls are thin and you can hear what is... More

The Beach House is a place where you would want to live. It is so nicely decorated and beautiful and has a warm and friendly atmosphere. We only met Elbie and didn`t get to met her husband Grant. She was very nice and friendly and had a lot of recommendations about what to do in Plett. You should have dinner... More

The location is great, the beach is less than 5 minutes away and it is a gorgeous quiet one - great to walk along. The hostel is located in a relatively secluded residential area - which means you need a car to get here. There is though a great restaurant nearby (5 minutes drive). The place itself is clean but...

The lodge is in a wonderful location, just a 3 minute walk to a beautiful beach. The area is very safe and has quite a bit to do. The lodge itself was very relaxing and clean. It made you feel like staying forever! The rooms were spacious and well decorated. The common areas were well kept and comfortable and the... More

It's billed as a boutique backpackers lodge, but it's really a boutique Guest House. And a good one it is. The place only has a few rooms (6? maybe), but the one my wife and I were in on second floor was spotlessly clean and very simple yet tastefully decorated. It had a door leading to a balcony overlooking the... More

Stayed on the first floor. Amazing views from the patios overlooking the ocean and hills behind the house. Nice big kitchen, sharing with the owners, but not a problem. Free wifi and can borrow body boards. If the ocean is too cold there is a nice pool close to the house. The local fish restaurant owned by an Italian is... More
