Plett Quarter Hotel & Apartments : your gateway to finding family paradise on the Garden Route

Over the years, Plettenberg Bay has transformed itself into an accessible, family-ready seaside escape. Fuelled by an engaging local hospitality mindset and a spectacular natural setting, Plett offers a bounty of activities that cater to all ages. Whether wildlife spotting, seaside lounging, or seeking outdoor thrills, The Plett Quarter Hotel & Apartments understands the importance of creating those fun-filled memories for every travelling family.

AS FEATURED ON ROVE SA

Recently highlighted in travel publication ROVE SA, The Plett Quarter Hotel & Apartment’s family-first approach has been singled out as a standout feature of the property. In its latest article, ROVE SA notes how the hotel runs a tight ship when it comes to service and guest care—particularly for parents travelling with children. The publication praised the hotel’s thoughtful touches, such as rearranging rooms, adding extra beds, and adjusting amenities to accommodate a third child, emphasising that “parents notice these seemingly trivial details” and that “the little things make a massive difference for travelling parents.” This recognition underscores Plett Quarter’s commitment to offering an elevated, seamless, and genuinely family-friendly experience.

BIGGER FAMILIES WELCOME! 

Accommodation at The Plett Quarter is designed with larger families in mind, offering adjoining or connected rooms that keep everyone close while still allowing for private space. Families can also opt for one of Plett Quarter Hotel & Apartments’ spacious 2-, 3-, or 4-bedroom units . Centrally located on Main Road and just a stone’s throw from the beach, it’s the ideal base for adventurous families with full itineraries. After a bustling day, the rooftop pool and expansive deck provide the perfect place to unwind and take in the views.

PLETT QUARTER HOTEL: YOUR GATEWAY TO FAMILY EXCURSIONS 

Hiking, biking, and horse trails abound in Plett, like the scenic Robberg Nature Reserve with its coastal views, seal or dolphin sightings from the sloping cliffs, and short family-friendly paths. Boating excursions, kayaking, or canoe trips on the Keurbooms River provide serene water fun. Visitors can either get wet while swimming with playful Cape fur seals or at Adventure Land with its exciting waterslides. The Plett Quarter’s rooftop swimming pool is a fun splash zone with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, with an expansive deck where they can spot whales on a clear day or mom and dad can enjoy sundowners when the kids drift off to dreamland.
Anglers can expect to reel in Grunter, Kob, and Galjoen from the rocks, rivers, or estuaries, while sports fishermen can take on the deep seas to battle Kingfish, Yellowtail, Tuna, and even Marlin during season.

WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES 

Wildlife enthusiasts, on the other hand, will love the sanctuaries under the South African Animal Sanctuary Alliance (SAASA). Monkeyland features free-roaming primates like naughty monkeys or tipsy lemurs on guided safaris. Birds of Eden's massive dome houses over 3,500 birds from 220 species amid indigenous forest. Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary showcases big cats, honey badgers, and hyenas, while The Elephant Sanctuary offers elephant walks and the Tenikwa Wildlife Centre arranges cheetah interactions and wild cat tours. Game drives at Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve offer safari vibes and mountain backdrops, with the Lawnwood Snake Park and the Garden Route Wolf Sanctuary adding to the diverse offering.

FOR ADRENALINE-SEEKING FAMILIES

For an extra dash of adrenaline, try the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tours zipping through lush, green treetops with the Storms River gurgling underneath. Archery Adventures and Tsitsikamma Segway Tours through forests add unique twists, whereas the Plett Puzzle Park's 3D maze and forest puzzles will challenge young minds.

DINE-IN AT THE SANCTUARY RESTAURANT

From marvellous French toast at breakfast to the town’s favourite burgers, hearty dinners, and indulgent desserts, The Sanctuary — part of Plett Quarter Hotel & Apartments — has quickly become one of Plettenberg Bay’s favourite dining spots, and the perfect place from where to plan your day. Pair it with a drink (and even a quick swim) on The Plett Quarter’s rooftop deck, and you’ve got a mini-getaway all on its own.
