The Bungalow isn’t just on the beach; it’s also a part of it. Nestled under a canopy of ancient milkwood trees, this Plettenberg Bay boutique hotel blends relaxed coastal charm with all the comforts you’d expect to find in a 5-star hotel. Wake up to dolphins frolicking in the surf, sink your toes into the sand while indulging in a glass of crisp bubbles, or end your day around the fire pit with the waves pulsing in the background.
There are 10 bespoke rooms to choose from, each kitted out with cotton linen, complimentary minibars, and an atmosphere that matches the tranquil heartbeat of Plett. We also have a crisp plunge pool, watersports, and a beachfront lifestyle, making it one of the most intimate hotels in Plett.
Whether you’re here for ocean safaris, sunset cocktails, or simply the sensation of sinking your ‘holiday feet’ into the white beach while you rub the salt into your skin, The Bungalow is your invitation to experience Plettenberg Bay at its most iconic.
Our Nature rooms come with breakfast, toiletries, towels, hairdryer, wifi and a mini bar.
The on-site restaurant at our Plettenberg Bay hotel on the beach sits right on the edge of Hobie Beach, where long lunches turn into sunset drinks and the sea is always in view. The menu is relaxed, seasonal, and rooted in fresh, local ingredients: seafood that tastes as if it came straight from the water, uncomplicated flavours, and dishes made for sharing. Pair it with a chilled glass of wine, a classic cocktail, or a cold beer, and you’re golden.
By day, it’s bright and breezy, a place to wander in straight from the beach. By night, The Bungalow softens: firepit glowing, waves rolling in, and conversations stretching long past sunset. This isn’t fine dining with rules.
It’s good food, well-made, and part of what makes The Bungalow the Plett hotel guests return to.
Breakfast is reserved for in-house guests only.
Bookings recommended for lunch and dinner.

Located within one of Plett’s only beachfront accommodations in Plettenberg Bay, the Bungalow Bar sits right on the edge of Hobie Beach, where the sound of the waves blends effortlessly with the clink of ice in a glass. It’s relaxed, social, and unmistakably coastal. The kind of place where one drink easily turns into two, and sunset tends to steal the spotlight.
Whether you’re stopping by straight from the beach, settling in for sundowners, or easing into the evening with friends, the bar is designed for lingering. No rush. Just good drinks and an even better view.
Experience one of Plettenberg Bay’s most iconic Garden Route beachfront accommodations. Book a room and experience true luxury: a peaceful holiday on the beach.
Our bartenders know their way around a shaker. The cocktail menu is fresh, balanced, and made for the setting - vibrant flavours that work just as well under the midday sun as they do at golden hour.
Expect favourites like:
Aperol Spritz – bright, bubbly, and best enjoyed as the sun dips low
Lavender Gin Fizz – light, floral, and effortlessly refreshing
Espresso Martini – smooth, rich, and perfect after dinner
Strawberry Daiquiri & Piña Colada – beach classics, done properly.
From cold craft beers on tap to local ciders and easy-going Corona buckets, the drinks menu is built for long afternoons and slow sunsets.
Celebrating? Open a bottle of bubbly and toast the view. Our Cap Classique and French Champagne selection is made for moments worth savouring - big or small.
This is beachside drinking, the way it should be: relaxed, well made, and best enjoyed with your feet in the sand and the ocean in sight.
Monday – Sunday: 12pm – 10pm
Open on public holidays (unless stated otherwise)

Seven days is a popular and well-suited timeframe for the Garden Route overall. For Plettenberg Bay specifically, most guides recommend 3 to 4 nights to properly enjoy the beaches, nature reserves, and surrounding attractions.
That leaves the remaining days for other Garden Route highlights like Knysna, Tsitsikamma, and Wilderness. If you’re spending the full 7 days in Plett alone, you’ll have more than enough time, though most travellers use the week to road-trip the broader route.
October and November offer the best balance: warm weather, spring wildflowers, whale watching still in season, and far fewer crowds than the December–January peak. March to May (autumn) is another sweet spot, temperatures are pleasant, the wind drops off, and accommodation rates start falling.
Summer (Dec–Feb) has the best beach weather but is the busiest and most expensive period. Winter (June–August) is quieter and cheaper, ideal if whale watching is your priority.
Yes. The Bungalow in Plettenberg Bay is roughly 13 km from the Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve, the Southern Cape’s largest private reserve.
