If the wine dinner at The Plettenberg wasnt a treat enough, we stayed at Aquavit guest house for the evening and it was gorgeous, gotta love dogs though!! Linda & Ole are fantastic hosts, a great eye for detail, and the facilities are top class, modern and spotlessly clean. awesome views over the Bay, breakfast on the balcony, and with... More

Aquavit is the most beautiful place to stay in Plettenberg. We had a really lovely time and Linda, Olé, Dakota and Beau and all the staff were fantastic and make you feel like friends staying in their home not guests. Everything is perfect – location, room, food – all our needs were catered for – even the recommendations for restaurants... More

We stayed for one night 4May 2012 and wished we could have stayed longer! On arrival we were offered a drink and immediately felt relaxed.Connie and Innocent were so helpful. Our room was amazing, I can't find the word to describe the standard, quality and wonderful taste that has gone into furnishing not only our room, but the guest lounge... More

We had the most amazing 6 nights at Aquavit and could not fault the whole experience, which is what you are buying when you stay with Ole and Linda. This is no ordinary guest house. They have designed a stunning home and furnished it beautifully. They offer amazing hospitality which surpasses your every need. We didn't even have to think... More

Had a wonderful 3 night stay at Aquavit but it spoiled me for the rest of the trip! No where else were the rooms as beautiful, pristine or as comfy. No where else the coffee as good, or divine lemon-ricotta pancakes on offer for breakfast. No where else were the hosts (human and canine) as friendly. Linda and Ole obviously... More

Our third stay at Aquavit was even beter than the last. We stayed 4 nights this time with Linda. Ole and their 2 labs. The house and rooms are as spectacular as ever, the staff even friendlier as they gain experience and confidence and the gourmet breakfasts are to die for! We'll definitely be gouing back. More

We had a truly lovely 4 nights in Aquavit. It wasn't like staying in a guest house, but a five star hotel - the rooms are big lovely views and huge comfy beds, while the house itself is special with it's pool, wine cellar and large balcony and decorated in a very stylish way. The breakfast is delicious, huge amounts... More

Aquavit was a dream and an inspiration. The architecture and interiors were impeccably designed, and guests would be tempted to stay in the house all day to soak it all up. Rooms were beautiful, comfortable and spotless clean. Linda and Ole were great and very welcoming, and their 2 golden retrivers were beyond cute. Breakfast was to-die-for, especially their lemon...

We spent 4 nights at this beautiful, stylish B&B in Plettenberg Bay. Linda and Ole (and Beau and Dakota!) are wonderful people and fantastic hosts. They have the friendliest staff, and Innocent deserves a special mentioning. We stayed in Luxury room one, which was super comfortable and huge. The bathroom was clean and beautiful. Breakfast was yummy, although it can... More

Stayed 2 nights. Pros: Linda and Ole are gracious hosts. Enjoyed the lovely decor and the beautiful views. Being able to open up almost the whole wall of your room onto the patio to enjoy the outdoors is pretty cool. Yummy breakfast. Cons: No air conditioning - I like it super cold when I sleep; and open windows onto the... More
