This room was fantastic in every way. Comfortable bed, contemporary look, one of the best bathrooms ever with lots of space and three shower heads. The view could be enjoyed inside or on the deck. Nice to be inside with a cozy fire during a rain storm. Also an easy walk to great restaurants. Lovely stay.

We stayed in the luxury room on the last night of our holidays and it was a fantastic end to a South African trip! The hotel has a great location (2 minute walks to the centre of town) The room itself was spacious with super-king bed and ultra-modern bathroom. The pictures on the Plumwood Inn website really do not do... More

Friends of ours recommended this place. Although we know their taste a bit, it is always tricky the time you go to a place yourself. I have to confirm that our friends do have a very good taste. From the moment we came in we were surprised. The views,the room and bathroom, the breakfast, the friendly staff and owners who... More

This was our second stay at Plumwood and it won't be our last. We drove there straight from the airport and got a friendly welcome and even though it was only about 10 am our room was ready for us in about half an hour - whilst we were waiting we were served a coffee and a savoury home baked...

Centrally located, family run inn that is worth the price. Beautiful views from the balconies on the second floor. Friendly and attentive staff. Delicious breakfast. A favourite spot in all of South Africa.

We have been visiting Plumwood Inn for several years in a row and we were never disappointed. Tip: ask for one of the rooms in the villa(s)! It is a 4 star guesthouse but you get 5 star service!

Plunwood is centrally located so you can walk everywhere which is great. The owners are very involved which always makes for a well run bed & breakfast. You can lie by their pool which is lovely and there are no children allowed which is conducive to a very peaceful stay!
