About this place

The Thatches is located in a secluded complex on the Keurbooms lagoon, called The Tides. The complex is extraordinary in that while it is still central (located close to town and the Goose Valley Golf course), it has a rural, nature feel. It is a two bedroom, two bathroom thatch cottage with an outside braai area and massive lawn. The lagoon is a short walk away with direct access through The Tides complex. Plettenberg Bay is one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Robberg protects the entire bay, creating world class beaches that are protected from the wind. The bay is full of life from dolphins to schools of fish, seals and occasionally even whales.

About Keurbooms

Keurbooms area

Keurbooms is a scenic area along the Keurbooms River lagoon, just east of Plettenberg Bay's main beach. Known for the dramatic Keurbooms River gorge, excellent fishing, and peaceful nature walks, it offers a quieter alternative to the busier town centre. The river mouth provides safe swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, while the surrounding forests are home to diverse birdlife.
