One of the best! This upmarket and spacious holiday home is one of the grand ladies of Plett with incredible views of the lagoon, sea, and mountains and a short walk to Lookout Beach.
Push open the massive front door and, from a double-height foyer, there’s a grand view through to the sea. The 40ft-long main living space has sofas and fireplaces at one end, and a dining area and open-plan kitchen (one of two) at the other. Beyond is a lovely veranda with cane furniture cushioned in tasteful blue-and-taupe ticking.
There are six suites with different accent colours, some with open-plan bedroom-bathrooms. The two main suites, separated by a suiting room, share a sun terrace with views of Keurboom’s River, the Indian Ocean, and the swimming pool below. The over-scaled armchairs, block-printed soft furnishings, and smart South African paintings are all in the best possible taste. Downstairs is a casual sitting room and bar/kitchen, plus a fabulous ‘Media Room’ with a massive screen for in-house movies.
