The Bungalow, a luxury 5-star Guesthouse establishment is situated in Plettenberg Bay, the jewel of the Garden Route and one of South Africa’s most popular holiday destinations. With its expansive sea views right on the water’s edge at Hobie Beach (one of the best locations in Plett) and its perfect mix of luxury, sea, and sand it provides the ultimate experience in beachside living.
A boost to the beguiling beachside charm of The Bungalow has been the recent addition of the Bungalow Beach Villa.
The Bungalow and the Bungalow Beach Villa are part of the Cape Summer Villas Boutique Collection. Cape Summer Villas’ exclusive properties in the Western Cape, and along the Cape coast from Mouille Point to Plettenberg Bay offers 5-star accommodation and cater to discerning guests.
The accommodation of the brand-new Bungalow Beach Villa comprises three apartments – The Cove (the honeymoon suite) with an en-suite bathroom and small lounge, and The Beach with two bedrooms with two bathrooms and an intimate communal lounge with tea and coffee making facilities on the ground floor; while The Bay, the first-floor self-catering apartment has two bedrooms, a large lounge, a dining room, and a fully fitted kitchen. The entire Villa can be booked as one unit. The interior design is bright and breezy and blends perfectly with the beach and the blue ocean, a stone’s throw away. The Bungalow’s accommodation – ideal for either a short stay or a long sojourn and for, solo travellers or families – comprises seven luxuriously furnished
rooms with en suite bathrooms.
For the requisite basking-in-the-summer-sun, there are sea-facing, upper and lower deck viewing decks – the expansive upper deck overlooks the entire bay, while the downstairs sea-facing lower deck – sharing the spotlight with a trendy plunge pool – is shaded by beautiful indigenous Milkwood trees. There is a tranquil, private area with a cosy fire boma area on the rock cliff-face side of the establishment that is perfect for intimate gatherings and entertaining, and there are several other leisure areas where guests can enjoy a catnap or a good book while relaxing to the soothing sounds of the waves breaking on the beach. And the unique ‘island style’ Restaurant and Bar on the upper deck, with its views of the Indian Ocean offers an exceptional experience for dining (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and sundowners … sit back and enjoy good food, the view, and the soothing sound of waves.
It is also the perfect venue for a brilliant Beach Wedding – available for the period 1 April to 30 September 2022 is The Bungalow’s Exclusive Wedding Package at R25 000 which includes Wedding accommodation: a one-night stay – for the bridal couple in the Bridal Suite (The Spot) and 14 guests sharing.
