Guest reviews The Old Rectory, Plettenberg Bay

A Haven of Peace

The Old Rectory is the perfect place to stay while exploring the Garden Route. Located close to the beach, it has an exceptional staff. A special mention must be made of Jessica who went out of her way to make us comfortable. She seemed to be everywhere - at the reception, at the restaurant, in your room (if you asked for something). The rest of the staff were also very courteous and hospitable. We had a wonderful 3 day stay at this property. Would love to go back.

Revive your soul

Loved The Old Rectory - incredible location, beach with balmy water, staff super helpful and gorgeous room. Just what we needed to prep for 2020. Definitely want to return next year for another super charge.

One of my all time favourite places to stay

The Old Rectory is a peace of heaven in a magical location, in the most beautiful Plettenberg bay. It doesn't get much better than this. Superb heritage and contemporary hotel, small number of guests, excellent service and food. We love staying here !

Just Perfect!

We had the most wonderful stay in Plett at The Old Rectory. It's an absolute gem of a place. The hospitality was fantastic, a special mention to the wonderful Jessica, who went out of her way to make our stay perfect. She's a very special lady! All of the staff are excellent, food delicious, interiors stunning, Spa amazing and perfect location just on Hobbie Beach. We will be back!!

Exquisite Boutique Hotel for the Discerning Traveller

Position, position position! I adored everything about this hotel. Never have I ever experienced such attention to detail. (Not even at the Corinthia in London which used to be my favourite hotel.) We were greeted with ice cold elderberry flavoured water and the final touch of our stay was receiving a brown paper packet with glass bottled water and crunchie cookie snacks. I can list at least another 20 unique little touches, but I do not want to be the person that ruins all the delightful surprises. The decor is sublime - elegant, earthy and the thought provoking original art displayed throughout the establishment pulls the story of this renovated historical treasure together. We found all the staff super friendly and professional to a "T". The GM is a gem and has trained the team to a well oiled machine. Two of my favourite touches were the flamingo's in the main guest WC and all the Gluten Free options offered on the Breakfast buffet. We will definitely return - planning a romantic winter getaway in the area. Counting the sleeps:)
