Our first trip to South Africa and found this a delightful stop. We had 2 days with Glen and Judy who were perfect hosts - nothing was too much trouble. The house is lovely, full of interesting bits and pieces and we were made to feel very much at home. .The view from our terrace was stunning - even in... More

The perfect place to relax from a trip on garden route. The view from the terrace was overwhelming. We had a very nice and comfortable room. The breakfast was fantastic and we enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of Judy and Glenn. Judy is the master of a tasteful decoration! The location is perfect, a 10 minutes walk to the gorgeous beach... More

We were disappointed with our stay at this guest house. From their website the place looked lovely, and although it was more expensive than we would have liked to have paid, we decided to book it as it looked so nice. When we arrived Glen and Judy were very friendly and welcoming and we had lovely views from our window.... More

Ocean Watch is an attractive guest house set in a great location in Plett. The views are fantastic overlooking the bay to the east, with the main street and beaches only a short stroll away. We stayed in the Shell room which was spacious and had great views of the bay. Glenn & Judy were very friendly and welcoming as... More

Ocean View is well placed in Plettenburg Bay a short walk from the town and beach and with spectacular views eastwards across the bay. A well designed spacious house the rooms on the upper floor are especially good with a terrace on which to enjoy the view, breeze, sun and the odd bottle of good South African wine. A very... More

We've already recommended Ocean Watch to friends. Vibrant hosts, perfect breakfasts and especially the view from the balcony and small pool made this the best guesthouse experience on our journey along the garden route. More

Spent 2 nights in this amazing guest house... they have truly captured the feel of a beach house haven! Very spacious house, beautifully decorated with stunning views of the beach from almost everywhere - definitely worth it to choose one of the sea facing rooms. Friendly staff and helpful hosts always willing to offer suggestions on restaurants and attractions. Delicious... More

We stayed in Ocean Watch in November 2011 and absolutely loved it - there aren't enough superlatives to describe it. The views are amazing, rooms are fabulous, breakfast delicious and it's in a great location. However the best of all was the staff in the guesthouse - they couldn't do enough to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. It... More
