Guest reviews· 9.3/10 (144)

The Old Rectory consistently earns high praise from guests, frequently described as an "unexpected surprise" and a "hidden gem" in Plettenberg Bay. Many reviewers highlight its "real 5-star luxury boutique hotel" feel, appreciating the blend of excellent facilities and a personal, "human touch." Guests often express a desire to extend their stay, noting the "delightful" and "homey feeling away from home."

Key strengths include the hotel's dedication to relaxation, with visitors enjoying "fantastic service," "great food," and leisurely moments by the outdoor swimming pool or dips in the ocean. The presence of a spa and wellness center further contributes to the tranquil atmosphere. While the reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some guests mentioned specific amenities like wake-up service/alarm clocks and streaming services as potential areas for enhancement, though these do not detract from the overall luxurious and relaxing experience. Special diet menus and breakfast in the room are also available upon request, adding to the personalized service.
