Workation in Plettenberg Bay: the essentials
Plett, as South Africans call it, is the upmarket beach town toward the eastern end of the Garden Route, on a bay Portuguese sailors named Bahia Formosa. Robberg Peninsula, a nature reserve with a seal colony, juts into the water, and dolphins and seasonal whales are regular sights. Paddling on the Keurbooms lagoon fills the calmer days. Many houses are second homes, so December and January bring crowds and high prices, while the months from May to September are much quieter. The local airport is small and about 5 km from town, with George further west on the N2 offering more connections. Outside the centre you will need a car.
