Few honeymoon settings can rival the romance of a charming heritage building within earshot of the Indian Ocean, and The Old Rectory delivers exactly that. Just a short, sandy stroll from the beach in Plettenberg Bay, this immaculately-restored boutique hotel dates back to 1777, with its current incarnation blending original stone walls and beamed ceilings with contemporary South African design. Indulgent king-sized beds, walk-in rain showers, private outdoor spaces and colourful artwork define each suite, offering guests old-world character with none of the compromise; it's laidback luxury at its best.
The hotel is designed to give couples as much – or as little – as they want. Ancient milkwoods shade the pool deck for slow mornings, the in-house spa offers couple's treatments and Restaurant 1777 turns local Garden Route produce into something worth coming back for. When the mood shifts to adventure, Plett obliges: whale-watching from the shore, kayaking on the Keurbooms Lagoon, hiking the dramatic headland at Robberg Nature Reserve or simply claiming a stretch of the town's wide white-sand beaches.
Our special honeymoon offer includes a snack platter on arrival, a dinner for two at Restaurant 1777, 50% off a couple's massage and a wine tasting at Kay & Monty Vineyards estate in The Crags – a fitting toast to the start of married life.
2 Bull Street, Plettenberg Bay, 6600
