Known as “the Jewel of the Garden Route”, The Western Cape town of Plettenberg Bay is a rapidly growing premium rated holiday destination for thousands of local and international visitors.

Apart from the most beautiful mountain range as a back drop. Plettenberg Bay is also well known for it’s excluded beaches, whale watching, the worlds first multi species free roaming monkey sanctuary, the largest “free flight” bird sanctuary on earth, and a multitude of other great attractions. This town has also got some of the friendliest town’s folk in South Africa.

When planning a holiday this year why not give Plettenberg Bay a shot. You will not be disappointed.

A few tips to remember when visiting:

  1. Plett has a very good traffic department so watch your speed.
  2. Although the beaches are secluded and tranquil, sunbathing alone can be dangerous.
  3. Although Plett has very little crime, it does happen and don’t be caught unawares. (Like leaving your car or house unlocked while you are away.)
  4. Always bring warm clothing, some days we have all four seasons in one day.
  5. Early booking on accommodation is essential.
  6. The most important thing to remember: Plett has good 3G coverage

Btw Hidden in and around Plett are a few great Wi-Fi Hots spots, so be sure to bring along your Wi-Fi sniffer to locate the best spot.

Stay tuned for the next review.

Thanks for the review on Plett. I was there 3 times now, but I’m looking forward heading back over. It’s central location makes it the perfect launch place for any adventure trip. I love the community shop too.
