Halcyon House is a very special find in Plett, we have stayed in other guest houses in Plett while good not even in the same league as Halcyon, The house is quite beautiful and the breakfasts! as good if not better than any five star hotel. It is the extra detail that Halcyon has, Judy mixes her own Muesli, Caroline... More

Loved both the house and Plettenberg. We lucked out, in that the owners put us in the Kingfisher suite, which is quite something (decadent bathroom for example), with a great early morning view. Owners were great, Staff were great. As for location, you need a navigation device to find it.

My wife and I spent only one night at Halcyon House, far too short a stay for such a wonderful venue. Caroline ensured we were well catered for and looked after in her magnificent home. And we emphasise "home". All amenities were excellent. At the time of our stay Plett Bay suffered a power outage but this this did not... More

Was lucky enough to spend one night on route to a wedding at halcyon house. The service was phenomenal and I I truly can't wait to go back for a more leisurely stay to spend time in the kingfisher rooms jacuzzi bath or have a lazy breakfast next to the pool.

We were extremely comfortable in the Kingfisher suite, within earshot of the sea. Our family occupied the other 2 suites on the top floor, allowing us total privacy. The breakfasts were always different with plenty of selection and fresh fruit, served downstairs in the sunny terrace overlooking the pool, or in the elegant open-plan dining room. Judy and Caroline are... More

Simply the best guest house I ever stayed in and I stayed in some quite amazing ones in the USA. I was in the Kingfisher Suite. It's huge and luxurous and has a wonderful view. Breakfast was delicious and the selection great with differences from the one day to the other. Also you get a very personal experience. On my... More

We stayed 4 nights and loved it. The room, Kingfisher suite, was wonderful 4 double wardrobes, large bathroom with double showers and fold back doors in the bedroom to give a sea view (just). The people who looked after us could not have been nicer, or more helpful. All though slightly outside Plett, but 2 mins from the beach, taxi... More

Sometimes if you are really lucky you stumble on a real find - Halcyon House is just such a place. The property is a large private villa just a short stroll from the beach and no more than a five minute drive to Main Streets bars and restaurants. As good as the accommodation is - and it is very comfortable... More

We stayed 4 nights to the halcyon house. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming and the house is marvellous. Great decoration and a very personal touch from the hosts make it feel like home. Especially the breakfast is very rich, well served and delicious. Only negative point: the coral room is not to be recommended. It is quite small... More
