Bitou River Lodge

$$ | Off the N2, Plettenberg Bay, 6600, South Africa Fodor's Choice

About 3 km (2 miles) upstream from Keurboom Lagoon, this award-winning B&B has a tranquil location on the banks of the Bitou River. Rooms overlook a pretty garden and a quiet bird-rich and lily-filled pond. The decor is understated and soothing, with neutral pastels dominating. Breakfasts are delicious affairs with freshly baked breads, muffins, and other goodies, in addition to the usual fruit, cereal, and eggs. Bitou feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's only a 10-minute drive from the center of Plettenberg Bay. Don't pass up the opportunity to explore the river in one of the available canoes.
