Top 9 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape

February 5, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

The caves of Plettenberg Bay are wrinkles in time, lined with ancient artifacts that date to the Middle Stone Age. Under the sun, Robberg, Central and Lookout beaches are pristine stretches of white sand, magnets for tourists, seagulls and dolphins, who bob playfully just off shore. Wildlife lovers will delight at the Birds of Eden aviary and Monkeyland. (How can you not have fun in a place called Monkeyland?)

Forest Nature Spa

A boutique Spa and Lodge surrounded by forest and embraced by the beauty of nature: imagine the crackling of a wood fire, the echo of the birds and the sway of the leaves in the breeze, the glow of candles taking you further and further into undisturbed calm. Nourished by food, bubbly and nature; transformed by the power of massage and water. A space to connect with those you love.

My partner and I had the most wonderful experience at Forest Nature Spa, from champagne on the day bed upon arrival, to two hours of being transported into a state of total relaxation by the wonderful hands of Abongile and Josephine followed by a lovely lunch. I would highly recommend this establishment to superb experience. We will definitely return next time we visit South Africa.

Funky, innovative and creative the potters and artists at Porcupine produce ware that is impossible to ignore. African is concept and origin and boldly fired in popping colours any piece is a collectors item. I love this studio.

Newstead Wines Restaurant

The same care bestowed on the vineyards is given to Newstead’s culinary offering. Lunches served on the veranda feature seasonal produce, most of it grown on the farm. Today, a salad of fennel, radish and figs, shaved Parma ham and Parmesan, topped with a dressing made with honey produced in the next-door lavender field, is star of the show. Tomorrow it may be shoulder of pork slow-roasted with chilly and ginger and served with spring onion pancakes or slow roasted wood fired spicy chicken. Home-grown macadamias and apples from the Newstead orchard are used in an assortment of bakes and the vegetable garden’s fragrant tomatoes shine on artisanal wood fired pizzas. Delicious desserts. Limited quantities of artisan food is prepared daily. Enjoy winning wines & bubbles & infused craft cocktails in the vineyard Bubble&gin bar.

Everything about this estate was absolutely perfect beginning to end. Staff were friendly and welcoming, food fresh and divine. We ordered the salmon pate to start, stunning thin crusted, light pizzas with fresh rocket and scones & chocolate cake for dessert. Wine tasting beautifully presented. Very stylish venue, super cute resident pooch. My pics don’t do this meal any justice!

We had a delicious lunch at Lodestone. The highlight was the seared tuna, we had it last December and this time came back specifically for it and it was even better. That coupled with lovely cheese board and sparking wine made for a wonderful afternoon away from the bustle of Plett.
