We had 3 nights with Glen and Judy and they really were the perfect hosts. They were very helpful, telling us where to go and what to see and finding us restaurants in the evening. The breakfasts were excellent and all the staff very friendly. We would highly recommend it.

The perfect place to relax from a trip on garden route. The view from the terrace was overwhelming. We had a very nice and comfortable room. The breakfast was fantastic and we enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of Judy and Glenn. Judy is the master of a tasteful decoration! The location is perfect, a 10 minutes walk to the gorgeous beach... More

We were disappointed with our stay at this guest house. From their website the place looked lovely, and although it was more expensive than we would have liked to have paid, we decided to book it as it looked so nice. When we arrived Glen and Judy were very friendly and welcoming and we had lovely views from our window.... More

Ocean Watch is an attractive guest house set in a great location in Plett. The views are fantastic overlooking the bay to the east, with the main street and beaches only a short stroll away. We stayed in the Shell room which was spacious and had great views of the bay. Glenn & Judy were very friendly and welcoming as... More

A well designed spacious house the rooms on the upper floor are especially good with a terrace on which to enjoy the view, breeze, sun and the odd bottle of good South African wine. A very... More

We've already recommended Ocean Watch to friends. Vibrant hosts, perfect breakfasts and especially the view from the balcony and small pool made this the best guesthouse experience on our journey along the garden route.

Spent 2 nights in this amazing guest house... they have truly captured the feel of a beach house haven! Very spacious house, beautifully decorated with stunning views of the beach from almost everywhere - definitely worth it to choose one of the sea facing rooms. Friendly staff and helpful hosts always willing to offer suggestions on restaurants and attractions. Delicious... More
