River Club, Plettenberg Bay, Garden Route

Rowland Forbes

The River Club has to be one of the best locations for a family holiday but it is ideal for couples as well

River Club is a development of similar properties situated just a 10 minutes walk from Plettenberg Bay’s beautiful Central Beach. Here we feature Primrose Cottage which is a pretty bungalow in traditional South African colonial design.  There are 3 double bedrooms, with one en-suite and a family bathroom. The cottage has a large living area with a wood burning stove for chilly winter evenings and a great kitchen. Facilities include television, DVD player, Hi Fi radio and CD player, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and microwave. A barbecue (braai) completes the specification. The local butcher will amaze you with the quality and price of the meat prepared specially for a traditional  braai. In addition to Primrose Cottage there are a number of other similar properties, some larger, to rent in the same development.

The complex has a pool, tennis and squash courts. It is situated close to the Piesang River that has an abundance of birdlife. You may also see the occasional otter. The centre of Plett is close, 5 minutes’ drive, and here you will find plenty of shops for all your needs. There is also a mall for some of South Africa’s leading chain stores.

Although the properties are self catering, there are so many great restaurants locally it is possible to eat out for all your meals.
