Keurboomstrand - the quieter side of Plett
Keurboomstrand sits just east of Plettenberg Bay, with its own pristine beach and the Keurbooms River estuary on its doorstep. Quieter and less commercial than Plett itself, it's the perfect base for families who want easy beach access without the holiday-town crowds.
- 15-minute walk to Keurbooms beach
- 15 - 20 minute drive to central Plettenberg Bay
- Close to Robberg Nature Reserve
- Near Monkeyland, Birds of Eden & Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary
- Bloukrans Bridge bungee jump, 40 minutes away
- Gateway to the Tsitsikamma
Beaches near the cottage
- Keurboomstrand beach, known locally as The Waves - a fifteen-minute walk down the hill
- Singing Kettle Beach - a quieter stretch overlooked by Enrico's, with Arch Rock a short walk eastwards along the strand
- Central Beach and Lookout in Plett - a fifteen-minute drive
- Robberg beach - inside the nature reserve, twenty minutes away
- Nature's Valley - about half an hour east, and worth the drive
Built in 1954, in the same family ever since
Built in 1954 for the family that owns it still, from local timber, on farmland bought before Keurboomstrand was established.

Eleven years of hosting - here's what guests say.
“The house is situated above the cliff with a beautiful garden with old fig trees and the marvellous view of the bay. We could just sit there, watch the dolphins and the waves, the sun going down and dream. The wooden furniture inside and outside is comfortable, everything is a unit. The kitchen had everything we needed. Sally and Margaret are very nice hosts.”
“Gull's Way is the best self-catering I have seen. The view is absolutely breathtakingly awesome. On the first day we saw nearly 100 dolphins and probably close to 15 whales from the back garden. Sally and Margaret are absolutely wonderfully hospitable and helpful. Truly a piece of heaven on earth.”
“What a wonderful stay at Gulls' Way! Absolutely top notch hosts, accommodation and that view - WOW, breathtaking and peaceful! The house was clean, tidy & very well equipped with an inverter and Nespresso machine. We were very blessed with excellent whale watching right from the stoep.”
