I booked the Grand Cafe and Rooms through Trailfinders. It was in a perfect location to stroll through the town or to escape to surrounding areas. From the minute I walked in the door I was greeted by Suzanne by my Christian name, very welcoming. The hotel is spectacular, especially at night with all the candles. Beautiful old world charm,...

The grand is a hotel like no other, an experience highly recommended! The unique decor of romantic-chic is just beautiful! The rooms are 'grand' and so unique that you feel like you're part of a movie. The staff are warm, friendly and very welcoming! The service is 5 star! And the food.... Some of the best pasta we've eaten!!! We... More

Lovely spot to relax and Plett is just beautiful. 5 hours from Cape Town on the garden route. Its close to all the shops and restaurants and I loved the décor. They also have branches in Cape Town and the food is very well prepared. The views as from most places in Plett are stunning.

Gorgeous place. We stayed in the bath house room which is just lovely. The pool is small but large enough to do some token laps and it's lovely to have such privacy. If you like 'shabby chic' this will be perfect for you. We loved the little touches like the CD compilations, espresso machine and stacks if mags to read.... More

Going back to one of my most favorite places where I can be Grand without being snobby The amazing location overlooking the Plett bay and the mountains and sea was indeed a spoil. Room 8 was spacious and had magnificent ocean views and the high beds lends the quirkiness that I have come to love - comfy beds / great... More

This is a really cool place with shabby chic interiors and a beautiful view. We were unfortunate with weather in plett but were so grateful to be stayin at this place. The rooms are so comfortable if minimally designed. The staff are out of this world. We had 3 meals too which were great if not spectacular. Definitely worth staying... More

I am quite green with envy at the fun which it seems was had in conceptualising the Grand Hotel in Plettenberg Bay. Like a modern princess without a pea I climb onto my high bed via a red velvet footstool. I mean, where does one even get to use the term footstool nowadays, let alone describing one that is, I...

I had read about this restaurant in a travel brochure so thought we would give it a try. The decor and ambience was real bohemian and rather quirky. Staff were very pleasant but we were very disappointed in our meal. I had sirloin in a soy sauce , very little steak and it was absolutely drenched in neat soy sauce.... More

From the outside, The Grand looks unprepossessing, and perhaps even a bit hostile - but inside is all about ambiance - shabby chic, gorgeously quirky and totally delightful. We'd eaten at the Grand Cafe before - breakfast with a view - and decided this time to try supper there. I was a little trepidatious as reviews have been erratic but... More
