The Robberg Beach Lodge is, without doubt, one of the most luxurious offerings on the Garden Route, a super-comfortable base from which to explore Plettenberg and surrounds. A stay here combines well with a city break in Cape Town or a trip to the scenic Winelands – or both! The Robberg Beach Lodge is owned and operated by family company Lion Roars, which has an impressive portfolio of properties dotted around the Eastern Cape, the Winelands, the Mother City, and many more.
Location
The Robberg is situated only 5 minutes from Plett’s Main Street and is usually accessed via road transfer from Cape Town or another stop on the Garden Route. It is close to the local airport too, for travellers flying in from farther afield. Positioned on Beachyhead Drive, it is just steps from the beach and a short distance from many other attractions.
Rooms
Guest accommodation at The Robberg consists of 29 rooms within four lavish villas, all spaced along the seafront. There are seven categories – Standard Room, Double/Twin Room, View Room, Self-Catering Room, Suite, Cottage Suite, and View Suite. All are very well appointed. Each Standard Room is located on the ground floor of the intriguingly named villa Cottage Pie. French doors lead onto a private patio apiece and furnishings include a queen-size bed or twin beds, bedside tables and lighting, a dressing table, easy chairs, and a wardrobe. Amenities comprise air conditioning, telephone, flatscreen television, mini-bar, refrigerator, and electric kettle. En-suite facilities consist of flush toilet, washbasin, bathtub, and shower. The Cottage Pie villa also contains each Cottage Suite! These are on the first floor of the building and boast a private balcony. With additional living space and a homely feel, these suites are fabulous for families. The spacious Double/Twin rooms are situated within Cordovan Villa and Robberg House, with great garden views. The Suite units are in the same villas as the Double/Twins, with ample additional space to accommodate two adults and two children, while the View Room and View Suite options are found in Beachy Head Villa. Lastly, the Self-Catering Room is absolutely ideal for families, with its open-plan kitchenette as well as all the standard amenities!
Communal Areas
The communal areas include a couple of lounges, both in a contemporary style and featuring plenty of comfortable seating. There are two honesty bars too, stocking a good range of snacks and drinks for when you are feeling peckish! The rooftop viewing deck provides breathtaking vistas over lagoons and beaches. Finally, there are two swimming pools, perfect for relaxing!

SUMMER
A beautiful time to visit with plenty of sunshine and warm weather. The area does occasionally experience heat waves during these months with temperatures climbing over 35°C/95°F
The Garden Route is situated between KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape and its climate is a bit of a mixture of the two. Its coastal areas enjoy both a subtropical and Mediterranean climate while inland things get a bit hotter. The geographic location between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean give the region rather mixed rainfall patterns, with no distinct dry period as found within the Western Cape. Rainfall amounts are however usually minimal with plenty of sunshine throughout the year!
