Martine's Guidebook to Plett
Wining and Dining
My favourite restaurants, bars, cafe's and lounges in Plett.
Not to be missed!
The terrace of Enrico’s in Plettenberg Bay is a prime site for watching dolphins and whales with swooping views across the bay to Robberg. Guests enjoy from sunrise breakfasts to sundowners and dinners on the deck. The atmosphere inside is friendly, homely and relaxed with Enrico always making an effort to come out of the kitchen and chat with friends and patrons.

You will find delicious restaurants here, from healthy (Fi-Ka) to Greek and Asian. There is a lovely bar at the top too.

Neighborhoods
Despite its being on the Garden Route and in spite of its overwhelming beauty, it has managed to remain relatively ‘undiscovered’. The peaceful valley, some 29 kilometres from Plettenberg Bay, lies virtually in the heart of the Tsitsikamma forest, the site of monkey ropes, old man’s beard dangling from trees, a beautiful lagoon surrounded by mountains and forest, and miles of unspoilt white beaches - arguably the most beautiful part of this coastline.
In Nature’s Valley lies a small village, a little hamlet of 50 houses, permanently occupied by its residents who have managed to minimise any development that might spoil the area. The village lies virtually at the mouth of the Groot River at the bottom of the Groot River pass on a lagoon, and one speculates that it is the road that wends its way through the pass in an impressive example of multiple hairpin bends that may account for the lower numbers of visitors to this part of the world.
