End February 2012 we stayed 5 nights at Thanda Vista. First we had the rooms towards the backyard and then we could change to seaview. Both types of rooms are lovely and we also enjoyed to stay with friends in the lounge area with all the facilities. Breakfast menue was perfect with constant view to the lagoon. Last but not... More

We stayed 4 nights and were more than satisfied with our stay at Thanda Vista, even though we had a stint of bad weather during our stay, we still enjoyed ourselves, thanks to the warm hospitality of our hosts and the clean and refreshing rooms. More

Thanda Vista is a really comfortable guest house with truly impressive attention to detail. The rooms are lovely and there's a nice shared lounge area with all the facilities and guides you could need when deciding what to do (or reporting what you've been up to on the web). But the usp that really singled this hotel out for us... More

We stayed at Thanda Vista for 4 nights, from March 14 through to our departure on March 18. We had originally planned to stay only 3 nights but we were enjoying our stay in Thanda Vista and Plettenberg Bay so much we stayed an extra night. Our arrival got off to a chaotic start as we misread the directions that... More

Having travelled throughout South Africa on a number of occasions, and most recently for three and a half weeks in February 2012, I can confidently recommend the Thanda Vista, Plettenberg Bay as the stand out Guest House/B&B accommodation we stayed in to date. We were greeted by the proprietor, JP, and given a detailed briefing on the town and its... More

JP and Petro are so sweet; they provided great advice on the surrounding area and made our stay very comfortable! Didn't want to leave. Great location (right off the N2), felt very safe, quiet neighborhood and close to the center of town and other main... More

We were very disappointed with value for money, we paid a premium for a room with a sea view and this was minimal, and the room was very very small. The staff were pleasant but as a young couple (20's) we felt like we were under the supervision of our grand-parents and this was a little unsettling at times. There... More

Secondly we had the assessor of the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa due to come around and do the annual inspection to review our 4 Star Grading. The couple stayed in the Iris room... More
