Hi. My name is Annelie. Three years ago, I moved to Plettenberg Bay, a beautiful town in the world-renowned Garden Route. Before then, I lived abroad and travelled extensively. I love taking care of people and seeing to their needs and that is why I would love to host you in our lovely apartment overlooking Piesang Valley, with breathtaking views. We aim to provide you with a wonderful, relaxing, and memorable experience while staying at Valley Retreat. Looking forward to meeting you. Annelie and Colin.
Quiet and peaceful residential area 5 minutes drive to all shopping facilities and beaches. The town is lying on a steep slope, down to the sea that offers accommodation with a magnificent bay view and spectacular backdrop. Being one of the popular spots in Garden Route, the town of Plettenberg Bay flaunts its glittering beaches, rustic nightlife, and some thrilling adventure. Plettenberg Bay was named after Governor Joachim von Plettenberg, who incorporated the bay under the administrative sovereignty of the Dutch-East India Trading Company in 1778. The Company used the place primarily as a shipping port for the hardwood timber that grew everywhere. Plettenberg Bay is South Africa's smallest wine-growing region with 58 hectares of the 100 000 hectares planted countrywide. Plett's wine region is the country's most easterly cultivar and stretches 57 km along the thin coastal strip from Packwood in Harkerville until Lodestone on the Redford Road in the Crags. Central Beach is well known to be the safest swimming beach in Plett and is monitored by lifeguards all year around. It gets decent mid-sized surf while remaining calm for safe swimming and bodyboarding. What to do in Plett when it's raining. Visit: Porcupine Ceramics. Art Galleries. Newstead Wines Restaurant. Wineries & Vineyards. Lodestone Wine and Olives. Wineries & Vineyards. The Barnyard, Plett. Theatres. Old Nick Village. Plettenvale Wines. Wineries & Vineyards. Bitou Vineyards. Wineries & Vineyards.
