Plettenberg Bay sits at the heart of the world-famous Garden Route, a stretch of coastline where pristine beaches, indigenous forests and dramatic mountains meet.
Known simply as “Plett” to locals and returning holiday-makers, the town blends laid-back coastal charm with a surprising amount of adventure, wildlife and nature right on the doorstep.
Plett is also recognised as a Whale Heritage Site, one of only a handful in the world. Through the work of the Plett Whale Heritage Foundation, the region celebrates and protects its marine life, offering visitors responsible, world-class encounters with migrating humpbacks, southern rights and resident dolphins. Whale-watching season is a highlight, with ocean safaris departing directly from the bay.
Beyond the ocean, the Garden Route opens up endless possibilities: championship golf courses, forest hiking trails, ziplining over gorges, Tsitsikamma’s ancient canopy walks, wine estates and craft distilleries, river kayaking, mountain-biking networks, paragliding, and popular attractions like Monkeyland, Birds of Eden and the Plett Elephant Sanctuary.
Whether you’re here for a tournament, a weekend escape or a longer stay, Plettenberg Bay offers the perfect base to experience the very best of the Garden Route — on land, in the forest, and out at sea.
We would be very happy to offer a WILDCAT EXPERIENCE here at Tenikwa. It is a 1 hour guided tour of our resident wild animals and also the penguins in the rehabilitation Centre.
