Open spaces and the symmetry of both natural and man made structures play many roles at Plettenberg Park, not only in terms of the panoramic views across the ocean and savannah behind, but also within the architecture of the hotel itself.

Plettenberg Park is an all-weather hotel, brilliant and lazy in summer sunshine, with spectacular arching views of the ocean, whilst in winter experience the wild, blustery and enveloping days saturated with log fires and wraps.

The interior of the hotel is somewhat contemporary, with a dash of sophistication and mixed with local ingredients reflecting the trends of today, be it comfort, restraint or sophistication; all of which suits the most discerning tastes. The décor hand picked by interior designer Sarah Stevens consists of natural materials and neutral tones that permeate the entire hotel. Plettenberg Park boasts a private art collection by Tamsin Relly from Knysna as well as a photography collection by Clinton Friedman.

The architecture is refreshingly simple, with long lines running unobtrusively along the length of the building resulting in spacious windows and wide terraces. Enjoy our new 25-meter infinity pool. Contemporary in design, the pool is surrounded by wide decking lined with sun loungers. To the south, the pool spills over to views of the Indian Ocean and to the north, the pool faces our own private lake. It is the perfect place to spend the day relaxing and enjoying the Plettenberg Park hospitality.
