Detailed Reviews
Excellent location. Beautiful view and proximity to quiet and secluded beach. Well appointed kitchen incl coffee 😊 host was very attentive to let you know if there was load shedding. Rooms all clean and additional blankets available if cold. Only stain on location is proximity to restaurant live music. But then just walk across and join the festivities.

Lovely clean apartment right on the beach. Everything you need is provided and we enjoyed the large deck overlooking the walkway and the beach. You can have a braai while looking at your kids playing on the beach. Location is also excellent as it is right next to the best restaurant in the area, and within a short walk to Arch Rock and all the private beaches in the nature reserve.

One of the best getaways I had in years-even if it was for just 2 days (also spend 2 days in Tsitsikamma National Park). My dad past away in Feb 2020 due to bonemarrow cancer and I have decided to take my mom away for a few days. This view was amazing.. waking up with the best sunrise ever. We enjoyed laying on the loungers- watching the fishermen while they catch fish. My mom needed this tranquility so much.. of course I was responsible for making brekkies & cuppuchinos every morning. Will definitely recommend this awesome accomodation to friends!

A wonderful apartment, located directly on the long sandy beach of Keurboomstrand. Superbly furnished, modern kitchen equipped with everything. Large bedroom with a very comfortable box spring bed. Great bathroom.
Very clean and everything you need for a stay.
The highlight is the large terrace with an amazing view of the Indian Ocean.
Contact with the landlord is completely uncomplicated, responds immediately.
100% recommendation.
The proximity to the restaurant "Enrico" is very practical if you don't want to cook yourself.

Picnic Rock is certainly located above the beach, just above the beach. The balcony and the unit itself could not be better placed for anyone who wants to see and the hear the sea, watch whales and dolphins and who likes beach walking. We spent a lot of time on the balcony and rightly so. We saw loads of whales, dolphins surfing the waves and plenty of massive waves pounding in from the sea.
The unit itself was big with plenty of room for four people (we stayed in NorEast). It was clean, has a nice little kitchen and had pretty much everything we needed.
It was a 15-minute drive into Plettenberg Bay, 30 minutes to the Knysna Elephant Park (the elephant walk experience was epic) and 45-minute drive to Tsitsikama National Park.
Overall it was a nice place to stay, and it is right on the beach (Although a massive storm when we were there has changed to look and geography of the beach a bit).
This would not be an honest review without a mention of the current building work. To be fair to the owner they did tell us there would be building work although they did suggest the noisy bit might well be done). Unfortunately this was not quite the case and over our five days (in mid-September 2023) there they were driving piles, mixing concrete, having cement mixer deliveries, driving dumper trucks and generally there was the noise of a busy building site. Next door to the unit was, to be honest, a building site. It did have an impact on us and to avoid it we spent as much time as possible elsewhere. You may want to check on the progress of the works.

Magnificent views. Constantly hearing the ocean. Walking distance from the beach. Lovely restaurant next door.
The property was also very accommodating with our 4 month old and made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed for a baby.
Heaven on earth and great service!

We highly recommend picnic rock accommodation most notably for its spectacular views. Sleeping while hearing the waves crush just outside your porch is priceless. The accommodation was super clean and convenient and in good taste. A must for families.
