Wonderful place to stay - just be aware that it is all self catering and if the island is full then it could be a bit of a problem if you dont like to live on top of each other. It would not be pleasant if the weather is bad. Really worth the experience though. Loved our stay there.

This was truly an amazing and refreshingly unique experience! Lauren and Jacque went out of their way to make us feel at home. On arrival Jacque picked us up by boat with our luggage and took us to our amazing honeymoon unit. The island is so quiet and unspoiled and the grazing Zebras in front of your self-catering unit is... More

Can't agree with other reviewers here. This was simply hopeless value for money. For a start the rooms have no air-conditioning, ok that's quite a common thing in this area but everyone else offers a ceiling fan and Stanley Island does not so sleep quality in summer is very poor. The rooms are very dimly lit and there is an... More

We had a very good experience overall during our 2 night stay. Initially we were disappointed with our room ( bed & breakfast room option) as room was extremely tiny, with open toilet in bedroom, cobwebs and spiders all over. At R1000 a night we felt this was not good value and misleading based on pictures and info on the... More

My Husband and I honeymooned for 3 nights at Stanley Island. We had the most wonderful time and the personal service from the owners really made our stay special. Your room feels like your room and you feel like you are really alone on the island. It is a perfect getaway for a family or for a few close friends.... More

We had family going to stay in Plett for Christmas in the centre of the town. We searched around not having stayed in Plett before and how lucky we were that Stanley Island offered us accommodation without forcing us to take three weeks at Christmas. We only had one week to spend there. I am glad we couldn't get to... More

Staying on Stanley Island begins with an unusual reception for a B&B: You leave your car at the parking site, James or someone of his team (all being there for several years) welcomes you heartly and gives you a helping hand to get your luggage on the ferry. The ferry takes you about 100m to the self-construced pier and there... More
