Fynbos Ridge

The setting is a few kilometres inland from Plettenberg Bay, placing guests close to beaches, Robberg Nature Reserve, and Keurbooms Lagoon while enjoying the quiet of a private fynbos reserve. From the hillside, views sweep toward the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains, and over 80 bird species frequent the gardens. The address suits Garden Route explorations between Plett and Knysna, with wineries, farm stalls, and scenic loops within easy reach. Whale and dolphin sightings peak seasonally along the bay, and guided hiking routes showcase rugged coastlines and tranquil indigenous forest.

Accommodation in the Country House comprises five individually styled, en-suite rooms—comfortable for couples or solo travelers seeking a classic B&B stay. For extra privacy or families, three self-catering cottages and a studio apartment add kitchens, lounges with log fireplaces, and private patios with braai facilities. Many units include air-conditioning alongside ceiling fans, quality linens, and thoughtful amenities like tea/coffee stations and smart storage. Reliable Wi-Fi and peaceful garden outlooks support longer, easygoing stays, whether you’re here for a beach break, birding, or a relaxed base to explore the Garden Route.

Days unfold at an unhurried pace: start with a generous breakfast on the terrace, then wander the trails, read beside the pool, or head to Plett’s beaches and Robberg for coastal hikes and seal encounters. Evenings can be quietly self-catered in the cottages or enjoyed as home-style dinners at the Country House by prior arrangement. A bar/lounge service is typically available; practicalities include secure parking and concierge help with whale-watching cruises, golf tee times, forest tours, and other local experiences that define this scenic stretch of the Garden Route.
