Accommodation

STANLEY ISLAND: This is our wedding venue and it only offers accommodation for 24 people. This has been reserved for immediate family and the bridal party. Plettenberg Bay is a beautiful popular beach holiday destination and has a variety of accommodation options to choose from. From little boutique Guest houses, AirBnb's, Hotels, and resorts, the list goes on. There are options all around Stanley Island. Also please consider extending your search options to Keurboomstrand too as it's not far. We have reserved x20 camping spots at Archrock Resort in Keurboomstrand for those who want to camp out for the weekend. Feel free to bring your own camping gear or alternatively, we have contacted a local Glamping tent company which has 2 tent hire options. More details under 'Archrock Camping' are below. These options can be reserved on a first-come-first-serve basis by contacting either Sunelle or Grant. As mentioned above Plettenberg Bay gets pretty busy, and in December especially, so please do have a browse and be mindful to lock your nest in asap. It will be great if we can keep communicating. Let us know if you have found a nest, need a glamping tent or need more info! Please see below for a link to the wedding venue:
