Providing garden views, Stanley Island in Plettenberg Bay provides accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a private beach area, a restaurant and a bar. Free WiFi is provided.

The lodge offers a barbecue. Wow what a gem of a place: each self contained room has a kitchen, so self-catering is an option, or dinner at a very good restaurant. The hotel is on a beautiful property; the attention to detail is evident everywhere. The hotel is personal - staff are attentive and go the extra mile - and we loved how it’s decorated. We will definitely be back. One thing to note is that it is on an Island, so you can only get there by ferry.
