The hosts at Aquavit are Linda and Ole, and you will not find more caring and hands-on folks. Your every wish is their command, starting with the warmest of welcomes, a guided tour around their exquisite guest house and a relaxed chat about everything you’d like to see and do in Plett (which they’ll happily book on your behalf).
The guest house itself is an architectural marvel; in fact it took two years from careful conception to laying the first brick. The house is divided into four levels: the first comprises three guest rooms en suite, each with a secluded terrace leading out onto a gorgeous lap pool and manicured gardens. There is also a shared lounge area dappled with artworks and sculptures and completed with sumptuous reading chairs. And, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you’ll find a fully-stocked cellar and outdoor, tasting courtyard with hanging grape vines and a water feature creating the idyllic ambiance.
The second floor hosts two more bedrooms (also en suite), another elegant, open-plan lounge and two dining areas that overlook Plettenberg Bay. Linda and Ole reside on the top level and make themselves available to guests both day and night. Each room is unique and stunning, fashioned with striking paintings, bespoke furniture and the most comfortable beds you’ve ever slept on, imported all the way from the USA.
The included breakfast is sensational: all-butter croissants, extravagant fruit salad finished with fresh mint, amazing granola, and their signature avocado and lime cake. The hot breakfast comprises a ‘special for the day’ or Linda’s chilli, or ricotta and chive, scrambled eggs served with sausages, crispy bacon and seasonal vegetables. The plating alone is worthy of many fine dining restaurants, as is the taste for that matter.
