The other staff were also all extremely nice. The ambience was very stylish, modern and clean. The food was excellent from the starter to the dessert and the wine was also very good. Thank you all for a lovely afternoon in your restaurant. ”

“ What a pleasant experience. We were looking for an early morning breakfast stop (7am) on a Sunday. The Sanctuary hit the spot. The Manager, Nico, was very friendly and accommodating. Coffee excellent and the food outstanding. ”

“ My husband and I were craving a pie after a day of kayaking - a google search suggested The Sanctuary and I’m so glad we came here. We were not looking our best, tired and unkempt and completely underdressed, so I just asked for a takeout. Nico welcomed us warmly, graciously dismissing the notion that we were not appropriately dressed and offered us a table so we could have a drink while we waited. Just such great service! South African hospitality at its best! The lovely barman made me a beautiful strawberry daiquiri and we left there with our (delicious!!) chicken pie feeling more than satisfied. Wish we were in Plett for longer as I would definitely have come back for a proper, more relaxing meal (and better dressed!!) ”

“ The Sanctuary Perched on Main Street in Plettenberg Bay, The Sanctuary lives up to its name in every magnificent way. This restaurant offers more than just a meal—it delivers an experience that elevates both body and spirit. The Sky Bar, accessible by lift through the hotel, sits beside the pool area where gentle breezes provide natural air conditioning on warm days. From this elevated vantage point, diners are treated to sweeping views of Plettenberg Bay's pristine beach, the iconic Beacon Island, and the charming bustle of daily life unfolding below. During our light lunch visit, the service struck the perfect balance—attentive without being intrusive. The Chicken Salad exceeded expectations with its bold flavors and generous portions, setting itself apart from typical offerings elsewhere. Each ingredient seemed carefully selected to create something truly special. The cocktail menu deserves particular praise. The Frozen Raspberry cocktail is an absolute must-try—a refreshing masterpiece that perfectly complements the coastal setting and warm weather. Whether you're seeking a romantic lunch spot, a place to unwind with friends, or simply want to treat yourself to spectacular views paired with exceptional food, The Sanctuary delivers. This is destination dining at its finest, combining culinary excellence with Plettenberg Bay's natural beauty. ”

“ Very nice dinner in plett. Very friendly service and the staff could not have been more helpful or welcoming. Food was good and reasonably priced. Would say the Camembert could have been cooked a little longer to make it more gooey but still tasted nice. Good options on the menu. The chicken pie was extremely tasty! ”

“ Special mention goes out to the Chef here. Ordered a creamy mushroom pasta. Honestly, the best pasta I have had since my trip in Italy. Closest thing to a real Italian pasta I have had in SA. Food was absolutely amazing. Service and atmosphere great as well. Would definitely go again. ”
