Feature B&B: La Boheme B&B, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

You will never forget your first sight of this beautiful bay. With a backdrop of majestic mountains stretching from horizon to horizon, the town lies to one side under a sunny sky, and amongst a collage of green forests and fynbos that are separated from the blue of the Indian Ocean by endless white and sandy beaches. Spectacularly picture perfect.

La Boheme Bed and Breakfast is a uniquely affordable 4-star accredited guest house in Plettenberg Bay. Cottage interiors with classic beach-house décor are complimented with a rustic touch, home-style amenities, and luxury facilities.

The guesthouse is situated one minute drive from both Plett’s Main Street and the Market Square shopping areas and two minutes from the whale-watching operators at Main Beach and the 4-kilometeres of golden sand that is Robberg Beach.

A dip in the plunge pool followed by a Jacuzzi (bubbly in hand) affords the perfect interlude between a day at the beach and supper at one of Plett’s many restaurants. If ‘dining in’ is your pleasure, a covered Verandah with Braai (barbecue) facilities is available for a traditional South African holiday feast.

Your host, local Chris Myburgh, beats any guidebook for pointing you to the best beaches and attractions that Plettenberg Bay has to offer.

La Boheme offers a lounge with fireplace for chillier evenings.

Full Continental and English breakfasts are served.
