### Plett Beachfront Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was very easy and safe. It was behind a locked gate. The staff were very professional, helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was hot and freshly cooked. While we had no kettle or coffee maker in our room, there was an ample supply in the reception area. "

### Belvidere Manor

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful place, probably our fifth or sixth visit over there the last 20 years. Safe, peaceful and in fact Belvedere is unchanging, the whole area highly controlled. It’s Gods window, a place I am so happy and content. A wonderful place to stay. "

### Bayview Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was lovely with a great view. Staff were friendly and welcoming and food in the restaurant was great. Tip would be book the restaurant in advance as it was really busy and we were unable to get a table for dinner."
