Long Story Guesthouse

Slow Days, Good Food & Coastal Adventures

One of the lovely things about staying in Plettenberg Bay is that you can choose your own pace.

Some days call for early mornings on the trail. Others unfold slowly over long lunches, vineyard views and afternoons spent soaking up the beauty of the Garden Route.
For guests looking to experience some of our favourite local spots, here are a few places worth building into your stay.

Robberg-Beach-walk

Walk Robberg Nature Reserve

No visit to Plett feels quite complete without spending time at Robberg Nature Reserve.

Dramatic coastline, ocean views, rugged walking paths and the occasional seal sighting make this one of those places that reminds you just how beautiful this part of the world really is.

Whether you choose a shorter walk or commit to the full route, it is worth packing comfortable shoes, a camera and allowing yourself a little extra time to simply take it all in.

Lunch Among The Vines at Bramon Wine Estate

Just outside Plett, in The Crags, Bramon Wine Estate offers one of the area’s most beautiful wine experiences.

Boutique wines, award-winning MCCs, vineyard lunches and mountain views make this an easy favourite for slower afternoons.

Settle into a tasting, enjoy lunch between the vines and discover why Plettenberg Bay quietly became one of South Africa’s newest wine regions.

It is the kind of outing that tends to turn a quick tasting into an unexpectedly long afternoon.

Find Space to Slow Down

Sometimes the best part of a holiday is simply creating space to breathe.

A short drive from Long Story, The Space Between offers yoga classes overlooking the ocean, providing the perfect opportunity to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings.

Whether you are a seasoned yogi or simply looking for a slower start to the day, it is one of those experiences that perfectly captures the relaxed rhythm of Plettenberg Bay.

Discover Plett’s Beaches

Plettenberg Bay is home to some of the most beautiful beaches on the Garden Route.

Spend the morning walking Robberg Beach, enjoy a swim at Central Beach, or pack a picnic and settle in for an afternoon at Lookout Beach.

Each offers its own unique charm and the same endless ocean views that make Plett so special.
