At first blush, you’ll wonder if this is more hotel or restaurant. Décor is eclectic at best. But stick with it. You’ll end up loving this place. They describe themselves as “sexy boho beach chic” whatever that is. But there is no doubt that you’ll wonder who decorated the place until you realize that each piece has been carefully selected...

I took family & friends for lunch to the grand yesterday. I have been visiting Plett for many years & have always heard what a great place the grand is. Overall the food was terrible. I had Chicken Peri Peri & Two packaged breasts arrived on a plate with chips @ a jug of peri peri sauce. Totally not what... More

I stayed at the Grand for one night in February. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were friendly and attentive and went out of their way to help. They even suggested a late check out so we could shower and change after swimming at the beach. Breakfast and dinner were lovely, served on the beautiful terrace.... More

I can't comment on accomodation, but the brunch we had at the Grand was wonderful. Best scrambled eggs I've had in a long while and excellent coffee. The setting, at the end of the main street, is lovely, with views over the lagoon and sea. Decor is delightfully quirky and shabby chic, stepping through the doors is like stepping back... More

We recently spent two nights at The Grand and just loved it! We had originally booked only one night but loved it so much we stayed two and could have stayed longer! Room 6 is heaven, we felt like we had stepped back in time to the fifties or sixties, intimate and unique! Sue and the team were so friendly,... More

From the moment one walks through the front doors of this beautiful Grand Lady, you are transported into a quirky, stylish and elegant space, beyond the imagination! The views cannot be more dramatic, the food is fresh, interesting and utterly delicious ... try the Grand Pizzas with a chilled bottle of sauvignon blanc ... Peek around the corner and catch... More

We enjoyed a delightful lunch on a very warm day overlooking one of the most wonderful views anywhere along the Garden Route. The Grand is part of the same group that owns the Grand Cafe and Beach in Cape Town and has earned a reputation for its qwerky decor. My salad was exceptional and the service was attentive and friendly.... More

The patio overlooking the lagoon side of Plettenberg is stunning. Food was super and wine selection great. Would... More
