Neighbourhood information

Nestled just a short drive from the centre of Plettenberg Bay, Forest Gate enjoys one of the more tranquil and nature-immersed neighborhoods on the Garden Route. According to the property’s own description, it is a “rural retreat with easy access to all local amenities, attractions and activities.” What you’ll experience Staying here means waking up surrounded by forest, possibly spotting wildlife (bushbuck are mentioned on the estate grounds) and enjoying the calm of semi-rural Plettenberg Bay. At the same time, you’re just a short drive from the town’s restaurants, cafés, and the sandy shores of Plettenberg Bay, making it easy to balance relaxation and experience. Nearby highlights - Pristine beaches of Plettenberg Bay for swimming, sunbathing or strolls. - Forest trails and nature reserves (for e.g the nearby Robberg Nature Reserve) for hiking and scenic views. - Golf, wildlife sanctuaries, water-based activities and general Garden Route charm. Ideal for: - Guests who prefer a quieter, nature-backdrop stay rather than being right in the hustle of town. - Families or groups wanting space to relax but still access to town amenities. - Nature- or outdoor-oriented travellers who enjoy beach + forest combination.
