✨ From Winning a Getaway… to Getting Engaged! 💍🌊 ✨ We recently had the incredible opportunity of winning a 4-night stay in Plettenberg Bay at Formosa Bay Resort through The Holiday Club, and what an amazing experience it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. Our unit was spotlessly clean, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy a home-cooked meal — and, of course, a proper South African braai outside! 🇿🇦🔥 The service throughout our stay was excellent. Our unit was cleaned every day, always on time, and the entire resort made it so easy to simply switch off, relax and enjoy our break. I was even treated to a lovely manicure at the salon at the resort, which was such a special little spoil during our getaway. 💅 But nothing could have prepared us for how this holiday would end… On our last night in Plettenberg Bay, we got engaged on the beach! 💍❤️🌊 What started as an amazing prize became one of the most memorable trips of our lives and a getaway we will honestly never forget!! A huge thank you to Jacques and the team from The Holiday Club in Blouberg for this incredible opportunity and for the wonderful service from beginning to end. Thank you, The Holiday Club, for not only giving us the perfect getaway, but for unexpectedly becoming part of such a special chapter in our story. ❤️ We arrived as a couple… and left Plettenberg Bay as an engaged couple! 💍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience and a prize we will always remember.
Beautiful and Tranquil. Loved the location as it’s central. Great for families with small kids. Very clean and very green. The self catering houses are spacious and the kitchens had everything you could need. The outside braai area and house was maintained daily by the awesome staff and was such a spoil. It’s good value for money considering the location and the amenities.
Great and comfortable place to stay in Plett if you are looking for a reasonable, economical option. It is close to everything as long as you have a car. No sea views but the units are comfortable and the staff is very pleasant. I was amazed seeing a resident owl daily for the whole of our stay (it probably lives on the bunnies that are in the resort) and abundant bird life in the gardens. Rooms: Comfortable self catering units.
Well maintained very clean and staff friendly and helpful

enjoyed my stay
our room was exceptional, very clean and spacious
Great huge apartment which was clean, comfy and cosy.
The offer for kids is great, nice pools, mini golf, tennis court and play rooms. The rooms were well equipped but the cleanliness did not meet our expectations. The jumping pillows were down for maintenance. The access to the cafe was handy, offering a good selection for breakfast or lunch. The staff even organised an Easter Egg Hunt (as we stayed over the holidays) - so real focus on making this rememberable for the kids.
It was exellent
Schöne Anlage. Viele Angebote für die Kinder
Lovely rooms with everything you could want.
We really enjoyed our stay there two nights are definitely not enough to enjoy what the facility have to offer!
The pools, the multi court and the restaurant made a good waffle
Really Spacious room, lovely staff and the facilities were exactly as they had advertised if not better. I really enjoyed the experience as a whole they provided me on my trip.
The breakfasts were good with a nice range of options. The swimming pools (cool and heated), and their surrounds, are lovely. The activities for the whole family make for a fun getaway. The area of Plettenberg Bay has a lot to offer.
Our unit was neat and clean,very friendly staff,the pool areas are very relaxing and scenic,just didn't enjoy the waffle it was very though we really looked forward for the waffles and the milkshakes, I truely enjoyed the milkshakes had a blueberry cheesecake shake it was delicious 😋 and we tried the Thursday cheeseburger special it was awesome Rooms: Neat,big. Nearby activities: Yes. Safety: Yes. Walkability: Yes. Food & drinks: Restaurant on-site my opinion I think the waffles need attention didn't enjoy it.
