About Christiana Lodge

Beach chic meets Karoo warmth in the heart of the gorgeous Garden Route

Located in popular Plettenberg Bay, Christiana Lodge combines four-star luxury with good old-fashioned South African hospitality. The structure itself combines environmental thoughtfulness with crisp, modern design, and the interiors continue that theme, along with echoes of the family's Karoo history in the old cane chairs, pretty porcelain light fittings and wrought-iron chandeliers. This light-flooded, west-facing lodge lies on Solar Beach, and both the amazing Brakkloof Wetland and Robberg Nature Reserve are almost on its doorstep. Come here for some spoiling, to ramble through the incredible natural surroundings, and to top up your tan on the beautiful beaches.

Property details

The property

The spacious main areas are flooded with light, with wide passageways, tall doors, high ceilings and plenty of windows. The lounge and dining areas open to covered decks and glorious views of the wetlands, the ocean and the shimmering pool. The decor incorporates pieces reminiscent of the Karoo, aged furnishings in shades of brown and tan, and the aforementioned light fittings. Guests unanimously rave about the breakfasts, served between 08:30 and 10:00 am.

The rooms

The architect-designed accommodation ranges in size from gorgeous suites to the self-catering Brakkloof Unit and Brakvlei House, and the large, three-bedroomed House Philip, just metres from the main area. All are beautifully decorated with pleasingly understated elegance and all those little luxuries that make life special – custom-made beds, 100% percale cotton linen, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, lovely toiletries and five-star views.

Activities

Plett has something for everyone, from fine-dining restaurants and night-time entertainment to some of the best natural spots on the Garden Route. Hike through nearby Brakkloof Wetland or Robberg Nature Reserve, follow trails for all levels of fitness and enthusiasm (ask for details at reception), and visit the elephant sanctuary. Tighten your helmet on a Segway trail, or head to one of the local Blue Flag beaches. Return to the lodge for a swim and a massage. Sheer heaven!

Why we love it

The sea views are truly spectacular and you're always moments away from a splash in the waves at one of Plett's Blue Flag beaches.

Insiders Tip

If you're in the mood for some added spoiling, the staff will happily arrange a special home-cooked meal - the food is divine, or romantic massage in the privacy of your room.

Something to think about

Christiana Lodge provides breakfast, but no lunch or dinner options. Not to worry though, Plettenberg Bay is swimming with restaurants.
