Set in a forest and nestled among the trees, Moonshine on Whiskey Creek offers self-catering accommodation in wooden cabins, just toff the N2 national road and 15 km away from Plettenberg Bay.

The units are equipped with kitchen facilities, fireplace and seating area. Some of the bathrooms are fitted with a mosaic shower. Barbecue facilities are available. The location was serene and peaceful. It was a view that we will never forget. The pool was lovely to have. Wish we knew they had a hiking trail as it would take a half day to do but we are dtill happy with the location. Our little house was perfect for our family. The only suggestion I would make is a safety gate by the outside stairs
