The Old Rectory Hotel & Spa

Discover The Old Rectory Hotel & Spa

The Old Rectory Hotel & Spa is a boutique beach escape in the heart of Plettenberg Bay, on South Africa's Garden Route. It is just a short stroll from some of Plettenberg Bay's pristine beaches and it's also the oldest surviving building in the town, built in 1777.

The property has only 18 suites, it's the ideal getaway if you are looking for a peaceful, tranquil and personal stay. The suites have king-size beds and include a luxurious rain shower, large bath and a private outdoor terrace or garden. There are charming architectural details and centuries of heritage to make The Old Rectory Hotel & Spa feel like both a rare find and an intimate home-from-home. The spa, cozy bar, swimming pool and restaurant offer enough by way of dining and leisure options that you may never want to leave. If you do leave though, take a swim in the Indian Ocean, see the whales in the bay, take long beach walks or explore the quaint town.
