THE
CASTLE ON THE CLIFF DESCRIPTION |
ACCOMMODATION
The Castle-On-The-Cliff is a rare experience.
It is a private villa in a totally private nature reserve
with its own private coastline- yet it is only a few
minutes drive from Plettenberg Bay, its fine restaurants,
sophisticated shops and wonderful beaches. This nature
reserve is covered with coastal Fynbos, the Cape's unique
floral Kingdom. To put this floral Kingdom into perspective,
there are more plants and flowers in the Cape Fynbos
Kingdom than there are plants in the whole of the British
Isles and North America combined.
The Castle-On-The-Cliff is, in essence, a villa that
is rented out to one group at a time for their exclusive
use. There are four luxurious master bedrooms - all
with en-suite facilities overlooking the sea. In addition,
there is another slightly smaller bedroom - suitable
for children - which has private bathroom facilities
close by. There is also a more rustic bedroom out in
the reserve, about 70 meters away from The Castle, that
is suitable for more adventurous "sleep-outs".
Other facilities include a barbecue wood fired pizza
oven, swimming pool and a lounge with a wonderful view.
No other villa along the Garden Route comes close in
terms of style and atmosphere.
The walking on the estate is wonderful, and there is
a wide choice ranging from gentle to adventurous. You
can also swim in the deep rock pool, scramble over the
rocks among the rock pools or simply lie in the sun
watching the waves roll in. Access to the coastline
below The Castle is through a cave - an adventure in
itself. Whales, Dolphins and Seals can be spotted in
the sea directly beneath The Castle's terraces or living
room windows. A family of Sea Otters lives in the dam
alongside The Castle. Dassies, a type of large rabbit
(directly related, strangely enough, to elephants) dart
among the rocks and Baboons visit the estate from time
to time, but they are shy of humans. The estate is famous
for its birds, particularly Kestrels, Eagles, brilliantly
coloured Nectar Feeders and the Sea Birds.
The Castle-On-The-Cliff is built above a vast coastal
cave which was inhabited by Stone Age man for millennia.
There is a collection of fascinating artefacts and stone
age hand tools from the cave on display in the breakfast
room. The fishing below The Castle is renowned and gillies
are available.

throw away
