Mr & MRS Smith the Old Rectory

This is a marvellous hotel full of charm and character. Set in beautiful grounds with excellent facilities, be sure to use the spa… the treatments are amazing. The 1777 restaurant in the hotel is beautiful and the service excellent. All the staff were very helpful and attentive.

An outstanding place to stay. Located close to the beach and the centre of Plettenberg Bay. The welcome at check in was warm and genuine while also feeling very professional. The public spaces are lovely. There is a pleasant small bar, a sitting area beside an open fire and then outdoor seating also. All is beautifully maintained and very comfortable. The bedrooms likewise are very comfortable.....clean, modern and well appointed. Breakfast was lovely - we ate outside and it was very pleasant. The service was of the highest quality. The staff were friendly but yet professional. Quite unique compared to anywhere else i have stayed, they seemed to know when we were at breakfast and by the time we got back after breakfast, the room had already been cleaned. There was also a turn down service - again they seemed to know when we weren't there and it was done! I strongly recommend this lovely hotel.

We spent 2 night at the hotel and we enjoyed our stay from the moment we checked in. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with a private garden and we loved it. Furthermore I would like to say, that the pool area is very well maintened which gives to this area a nice atmosphere. The pool service was also great. Finally, I would like to point out that the food was also delicious. We enjoyed the breakfast as well as the dinner at the hotel.

This small hotel is bursting with personality. The charm of the rooms and common areas makes you feel as if you are staying in someone's home - but with wonderful staff! It is both relaxing and comfortable and yet every need is met by someone with a smile! A special mention for the amazing massages we had in the spa!

We choose this hotel because of the proximity to the beach and also the town. It’s a very steep walk up into town but we enjoyed stretching our legs and appreciated the peace and calm at the hotel. There’s a real ‘family’ feel and a relaxed but professional atmosphere throughout the hotel and spa. We loved the breakfasts, lunches, pool area, comfortable lounges and our room was large and airy with a private garden. Leon and his team created the perfect environment for a relaxing couple of days. Have to also mention The Fat Fish just along the beach and Eleven for coffee in the town.
