This recently renovated apartment is located 2.4 km from Lookout Beach and 2.6 km from Central Beach. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground.

We stayed here for 3 nights and we really loved the Mount Castleton accommodation. The apartment is located on a secure site. You get a chip for this when you check in or with the key so that you can drive through the barrier. There is a covered parking space marked for the apartment directly in front of the apartment. The apartment itself is quite large and consists of a kitchen, a bathroom, a living and dining room, a bedroom and a terrace. The kitchen is well equipped with a fridge with freezer compartment, oven, hob, kettle, washing machine and all the necessary utensils such as crockery, cutlery, pots and pans and washing-up liquid. The bathroom has a bath and a shower. Everything worked very well, was modern and clean. The living room is also very well equipped with sofas, TV and dining table with four chairs, so you could have a good time in the evening. The bedroom consisted of a very comfortable bed with bedside tables, a wardrobe and a TV. We had a great night's sleep in the bed. There was also a table with four chairs and a barbecue on the terrace. We also sat very comfortably here. There are two pools in the grounds, which are beautifully situated on a green lawn. There are also sun loungers. The host always kept in touch with us and was very friendly and helpful. Also with restaurant tips etc.

    Beautiful location just down to the beach, very nice view from the terrace. Rooms are modern and very chic decorated. Clean also. Food is good, we had excellent sushi both evenings we dined there. Breakfast is also great and served to order so no buffet hassle which adds to the exclusive feeling of the place. Many nice hang out spots around in the faciality. This is a pretty cool place all in all.

    We loved everything about Laird's Lodge. It's in a very quiet spot a few Kms from Plettenberg but you feel you are really in Africa. The staff are amazing & very welcoming & dinner was superb. Food , although limited choice , was of a very high standard. The accomodation was both luxurious & comfortable & our room ( room1) had a beautiful patio also. We also had laundry done returned on the same day.

    Everything was amazing. The bedrooms were outstanding. Every little detail was thought of. The bathroom and shower was a luxurious space. I wish I had booked for more than 1 night! The food in the restaurant was delicious and all the outdoor spaces calming. I unfortunately didn’t get to try out the pool, but it looked like a lovely place to chill.
