Why not book your stay at the Kwendalo Manor House?
This fully fenced and gated private estate is situated in the Rietvlei/Bitou Valley just off the N2 heading towards Gqeberha. The estate is a mere 2.5 km away from the beautiful holiday town centre of Plettenberg Bay with its breathtaking scenery and lovely beaches.
Kwendalo means ‘of nature’ in local isiXhosa and our country estate is situated on 16 hectares of regenerative nature. Our location distills the belief that our environment and our place within it contributes significantly towards wellness and we invite you to refresh yourself in our gardens and natural surroundings. Please note that accommodation is available to all visitors to Plettenberg Bay; our treatments are available to our guests but are not a prerequisite of booking.
Set with sweeping views across the grounds of Kwendalo, the Manor House offers accommodation in spacious and gently renovated suites. Each suite has been lovingly and stylishly decorated to create an atmosphere of absolute ambience and tranquillity. The suites are positioned in such a way as to offer maximum privacy to guests as well as providing stunning views over the picturesque countryside, lush green lawns and mountains of the estate.
Each suite has a fully equipped kitchen, well-furnished lounge, its own bathroom, a hairdryer, and a flat-screen TV with DStv. Each suite has a private patio with a braai and a table to sit and relax. Wi-Fi is available in most of the suites. We invite you to be at ease at Kwendalo, envelope yourself in comfort and calm, and find serenity and peace while you stay with us. You are encouraged to embrace mornings of contemplation in nature, afternoons of gentle exercise or treatments, and evenings around the fireplace.
