Perched above the Robberg Wreck Beach and metres away from the Robberg Nature Reserve, Plett Villa is both an intimate hideaway and architectural masterpiece.
For our 2-week stay, it felt like time stood still. Watching dolphins from bed as they surfed the waves at sunrise became a morning ritual. Daily excursions were followed by lazing at the pool as sunbirds hovered around the indigenous garden. And most days ended with sundowners in the jacuzzi. Our time at Plett Villa was Groundhog Day in the most beautiful sense.
