DESCRIPTION

Hanpicked for you...

On the quiet, secluded river-side stretch of the notorious lookout in Plettenberg Bay, The Ark summons you, two-by-two, into its vessel for some plain-sailing, laid-back living. Set on two levels with its four capacious bedrooms, anchored by the elevated, open kitchen and living space, this hideaway stops the clocks, wipes the slates and puts everything onto charge. From the downstairs den – where the bunkbeds and FatSaks coax you towards the wood-burning stove, and the surfboards and ping pong table insist you get active – all the way up to the living areas and additional bedrooms, The Ark oozes style, simplicity and soul. Rough leather seating, white, grey and blue linens, reclaimed wood beams, tables and cabinetry, all pivot from the polished concrete kitchen counter with its exposed shelving. A luscious tropical garden thriving around the swimming pool, carries its theme upstairs to the main bathroom where Iroko wood floors meet framed glass windows, separating the ferns from the shower’s spray.

When you’re not listening out for the clock that’s stopped, there are enough boogie boards, surf boards, and even an SUP to grab and head out to the water, which is literally across the road. Hop in the little blue rowing boat and paddle all the way across the river to the break on the other side, and hit the waves. After which, a well-earned beer will be waiting for you back at bliss. Where the grill’s been lit, the outdoor showers are rinsing that salt water, the breeze is breathless and you’re once again all too familiar with that feeling.

What we love!

  • Baba, the wonderful housekeeper who’s there to welcome you and assist with any holiday tips on the area, and the property itself.
  • Overlooking the river from the massive master bedroom that opens onto a deck, over the shrub below and into nature.
  • Having outdoor showers – whatever time of day – and grabbing one of the multi-coloured kikois afterwards, that’s hanging from the hooks. Nothing says beach holiday quite like it.
  • Stocking up on all of the best bakes you could muster from Le Fournil de Plett, the famous bakery 5-minutes’ drive away from The Ark.
  • The charming community of laid-back residents that the property sits within.

What you need to know…

  • There is a supermarket only 500 metres away, for all groceries and household supplies.
  • The Ark information folder will provide all of the extra details and tips you’ll need to know about the property and the area.
  • This is a strictly no smoking hideaway, and is not pet friendly.
  • The Deli Factory and Robberg Fisheries, situated at the Shell service station as you enter Plettenberg Bay, stocks the freshest fish and artisanal delights.
  • If you’re not up for a swim every day, but want some form of activity, there are some beautiful, scenic walks within the region that won’t leave you too shattered for the evening antics.
