We had the most amazing stay at Aquavit Guest House. Rooms are spacious, cozy and perfectly clean. You can see with how much love and tase the rooms are equipt. Linda and Ole gave us the warmest welcome. The view is beautyful and the house is perfectly located for your visit at Plettenberg Bay. The breakfast was amazing. Everything you can wish for and a lot more. Don't miss the scrambled eggs! Thank you so much, Linda and Ole for making our stay special. We enjoyed it so much and it was war to short. Hopefully we will be able to visit again one day.

Hi Jesco & Lisa, wow, thanks for such a warm review. Ole and I also wished your stay was longer as Plett has so much to offer. I am sure you will come again, that longing for the return to South Africa stays with you forever :-)

We stayed at Aquavit for five days, 26th to 30th March. The guest house is situated in a suburban area, a short walk from shops and restaurants and the sandy beach. Inside the guest house is stunning, designed by the owners. It is very well laid out with magnificent views across Plettenberg Bay and the Tsitsikamma Mountains. All around the guest house are all sorts of nik naks, ornaments, pictures, interesting pieces of furniture brought from around the world to adorn Aquavit. Now to the folks that own and run Aquavit, Ole & Linda. they are a lovely couple who make the stay at Aquavit a truly five star experience. From the moment we arrived we felt at home, we were looked after really well all the time we were there. It was a sad moment when we left. The breakfast on offer is stunning in quality and variety. The cooked breakfast is a carefully crafted offering rather than a huge 'full English'. There's fruit, meats, freshly made cake, the list goes on. Linda is lovely, ensuring everyone is happy. Whilst we were there we wanted to remember a dear friend who had passed one year previously, Linda helped us do this and make it something very special. Ole is a great guy with a great, but dry, sense of humour. His contribution to the five star experience is essential, he looks after the wine collection! He pointed us in the direction of the best local restaurants and even took our laundry to the cleaners as a courtesy. If you want a five star experience whilst staying in Plettenberg Bay, stay at Aquavit, you won't be disappointed. If we're ever back in Plettenberg, this is where we'll stay.…

Hi Irina & Serguei, Many thanks for your thoughtful remarks and observations on Trip Advisor. We are always amazed when people take the time to comment and write a review. It so helps our flow of business and to share this lovely piece of South Africa with our guests. We hope in the not too distant future you will return and stay with us again. The flowering plant is doing beautifully, thank you for your thoughtfulness. Kindest regards from sunny Plett! Linda & Ole

We think it's about time we shared our thoughts on our favourite and 5* best guest house in the wester cape. We have stayed with Linda and Ole every year for our past trips to southern Africa. This five bedroomed guest house is outstanding in every way, from breakfasts to bedrooms with a sparkling infinity pool in a gorgeous verdant garden. The interiors are beautiful, you won't tire of looking at their art collections and family paintings. Breakfasts on the first floor terrace looking out to kerbooms bay and the mountains beyond is a bonus to go with the sumptuous food. You have to go yourselves and be wowed, Linda and Ole are definitely the best hosts to give you a memorable stay you won't be disappointed. We leave with heavy hearts but so happy tohave already booked for next year.…
