Activities

Plettenberg Bay is famous for its unspoiled beaches, fascinating tourist attractions, good restaurants and interesting shops. Just up the road is The Crags, an area known for everything from elephants, monkeys, birds and wild cats to pottery, a theatre in a barn and a variety of wine farms. Our clients favorites are hiking, biking, wineries and visiting the many wildlife rescues.

Conveniently situated for an easy slip onto the N2 highway, Alkantmooi Private Nature Reserve is the ideal base from which to explore the Garden Route and beyond. The world’s highest commercial bungee jump, Africa’s largest cave system, shark cage diving, whale watching, the Tsitsikamma forest and more are all within easy day-trip distance. The region also boasts 14 top class golf courses. Or you can simply sit on your stoep at Alkantmooi and savour the beauty in every direction.
