They are the sweetest family, their hospitality is endless. Vinthi will do anything to make sure you have a nice stay. They have a lot of info about all the activities and transportation in the area. Many restaurants and the beach on walking distance. Also, they keep the dorms very clean!

Affordable and comfortable, right in the heart of Plettenberg. Our highlight though was Debbie, she is the sweetest host and gave us so many good tips on where to go and eat. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing eggs benny breakfast and literally the best cappuccino I’ve ever had included in the R400 solo room. The most beautiful location, convenient and lots of nature and attractions. I needed somewhere to work, very last minute and they exceeded my expectations with value for money, facilities, friendliness and safety. Thank you so much!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This was one of my best hostel experiences anywhere in the world. The host went so far out of her way to help with recommendations and to ensure you have a perfect stay. Couldn't rate Nothando's highly enough. Definitely worth staying at if you're in Plettenberg Bay.

    Small family-style backpackers with a single dorm room and attached bathroom, around the corner from bus loop and main road. The hostel is clean and quiet, with large common room and very well-equipped kitchen. Mattresses in dorm are very comfortable; dorm room also has private entrance. Good place to meet other travelers!
