The Plettenberg
The Garden Route

The Plettenberg – situated on a rocky headland in one of South Africa's most spectacular beach towns – is a perfect retreat. Owned by hotelier Liz McGrath, this 35-room luxurious hotel offers privacy and elegance. No detail is overlooked and each room is filled with lavish touches. We love the serene Beach House with its cool hues and natural materials.

A cornucopia of crustaceans is served at the aptly named SeaFood at The Plettenberg. Feast on the local marine bounty and the choicest seasonal ingredients along with sundowners at the buzzing Sandbar. This is a hotel of choice for South Africa’s chicest holidaymakers and there is a cosmopolitan air, relaxed but social. 

Take in breathtaking vistas of ocean, mountains and blissful stretches of golden beach. Activities are endless, from dolphin and whale sightings to bungee jumping, treetop canopy tours and much more in the surrounding countryside, The Plettenberg is a haven to relax and unwind, recharge and be restored.

Client Testimonials

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
