Located in the centre of Plettenberg Bay, the newly renovated and now 4 Star Bayview Hotel is surrounded by vibrant shops, art galleries, nightlife and restaurants and is still within 800 metres of 2 of Plett’s 6 Blue Flag status beaches. Boasting 36-ensuite rooms, we are perfectly suited to families, local and overseas travellers, tour groups and business travellers. Nestled on the spectacular coastline of the world-renowned Garden Route, the Bayview Hotel offers breathtaking views of the Keurbooms River, Lookout Beach & Tsitsikamma mountain range. As one of our valued guests, our friendly and professional staff is sure to make your stay an unforgettable experience, for which we recommend an (absolute minimum!) of 3 nights to explore at least some of Plettenberg Bays’ endless activities and adventures. We are only a 7-minute drive from the (must-do!) Plettenberg Bay Airport, and +/- 1 hour from George Airport and are the perfect halfway stop between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.
What a delightful place to stay …. Obviously an old hotel but a fantastic upgrade rooms are bright and beautifully decorated…. Public spaces very nice and modern …. Adi’s restaurant is also very good for any time of day Bedding NG and linen is of a good quality Fridge is a nice size

Dear Richard, thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The Bayview Hotel is proudly 30 years old this year, so it is indeed an old hotel-it is actually one of the first hotels in Plett! Our rooms are much larger in comparison to the newer hotels and designed to be airy and comfortable with our refreshing new revamp that we have just undergone. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Kind regards, the Bayview Hotel

I spent 2 nights in this great hotel. It is beautifully decorated and very well maintained. The quality of the linen and towels is high, the bed is huge and everything works well (usually I find something doesn’t work well in a hotel eg aircon, TV and I have to call for resetting!). Adi’s Kitchen provides very tasty food and honestly, one of the best omelettes I’ve ever had. The 2 waitrons were super helpful and friendly (the maitre’d could try a bit harder to be pleasant though). Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel (deluxe room) for a solo traveller or couple.

We arrived to be told our booking was for 1 room for two nights! And we had not paid. So we paid and they agreed that our booking was actually for two rooms for 4 people for two nights. It now transpires that booking.com had taken payment in full a week previously! So we have now paid twice and are fighting Bayview to get our money back! The hotel was noisy cars screeching up and down a noisy road all night deliveries coming and going. The rooms were noisy pokey and smelly! I would advise anyone to think very carefully about staying in this very poorly run hotel! It was more like a 2* hotel and now their after event customer service has proved they have no idea how to admit their mistakes and issue a refund for their double charging incompetence. AVOID THIS HOTEL

The Bayview Hotel in Plettenberg Bay is conveniently located on the main street, in close proximity to a variety of restaurants and shops, and a short drive from the beach. The accommodation on the second floor is was more comfortable and includes a small communal outdoor area for sitting. All rooms are kept clean and offer comfort. During my stay, I had to change rooms due to availability. I noticed a different outlook from the room on the first floor. It's worth noting that the rooms and bathroom fittings seem somewhat outdated. One drawback was the room's position facing the street, which resulted in noticeable noise during nighttime hours. The hotel's restaurant, Adis Kitchen, provides satisfactory vegetarian and dessert options. However, the included breakfast could benefit from more variety. The front desk staff are friendly and always ready to assist guests. Given the lack of Uber services in the area and considering the needs of guests like my mother, who found the walk to the beach challenging, it would be advantageous if the hotel could provide a golf cart or shuttle service. …

One if the best locations near beach and restaurants. Comfortable rooms made for an enjoyable stay. Breakfast could offer more variety. Found the establishment to be good value for money. We were 2 adults and 2 kids and did not find room cramped. Balcony was a big plus.

I had the best stay at this amazing hotel with a great atmosphere. I was supposed to stay for 2 nights but it ended up being 4 nights due to the amazing people, clean rooms and great views. At first I worried about this place being in the city but it’s quiet and conveniently located. The people are the commodity of this hotel though. The restaurant in the hotel is very convenient and serves great food. Load shedding doesn’t impact anything on this hotel which was great

The best location offering 5 star accommodation, must say the room was clean and comfortable, beautifully appointed. Adi's Kitchen in Bayview Hotel complimented the stay with the most delicious and value for money meals! Our favourites was the fish & chips and chicken curry dish. For breakfast the eggs benedict with the hollandaise sauce! All the staff, including the restaurant staff & waiters was very friendly and helpful. All and all it was a superb experience!
