    Nothing - enjoyed it all!

    A great B&B with a fabulous location! The highlight is the large verandah, which offers a great view over the sea, with breakfast tables and sunbeds. Wonderful, very rich and versatile breakfast. There are three large, bright rooms, each with a huge glass front. The "whale" room, which we got as an upgrade, actually has two. Spacious bathroom. Rooms are modern, well equipped, comfy. The owner, Pam, is extremely friendly and helpful, and so is her staff. Fine location - really just 2 or 3 minutes down to the sea and the beautiful beach.

    Curtains did the job but weren’t blackout. If you like to sleep in remember to bring a sleeping mask.

    Location was terrific and views were amazing. Five minute walk to a beautiful beach. Staff were very kind and helpful.

    Beautiful B&B close to the beach in Plett. Pam was a great and welcoming host, letting us check in early and offering great advice on what to do in Plett. The atmosphere is cozy and we felt right at home. Breakfast was great, the bed was very comfortable and our room offered a great view of the ocean. Thanks to Pam for the great experience, and we would definitely recommend staying here if you are in Plett!

    All was perfect!

    We had a wonderful stay at Dolphin's Playground. The guesthouse has a supreme location near Robberg beach (just a few minutes walk) and a very short drive to the Nature Reserve. The area is residential and quiet and you will need to drive to restaurants and shops. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, had great storage, a large bathroom and a beautiful ocean view. There was a large deck outside our room (shared with other guests) with lots of seating and tables. Breakfast was excellent, with made to order eggs, toast, fruit, yogurt and granola. Pam was delightful, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. She had a wealth of information about the area and was able to give us lots of tips regarding hiking, restaurants and activities in and around Plet Bay. Thank you Pam for making our stay in Plet Bay so special!

    Nice quaint cozy place! Great breakfast with a wonderful view! Very well managed and maintained by Pam and her very helpful staff. We'd love to visit again and definitely recommend staying here. Pam is a great host, very meticulous, and has great recommendations for things to do around. The cutest thing was a little flag of our country on our breakfast table every morning...just a testament to the personalization and attention to details by the staff! The location is perfect to drive to the best beaches, Robberg hike trail, and Knysna, while being in a safe, quiet, and lovely neighbourhood. Pam has the most wonderful collection of books and works on the system of taking a book for a replacement. She was kind enough to let us keep one even though we didn't have anything to keep back. It'll forever be treasured as a fond souvenir memory.
