The Wood B&B

In the heart of the Garden Route, Natures Valley lies at the foot of the Grootrivier Pass, 30 km east of Plettenberg Bay. Where the world renowned Otter Trail ends, Natures Valley lies nestled between land and sea, and is arguably South Africas most beautiful and tranquil destination. Think of dense forest, mountains, cliffs, rugged coast, sandy beaches, rivers, waterfalls, lagoons and a picture of Natures Valley may start to form.

Alongside all this natural beauty, countless activities are on offer such as hiking, fishing, bungee jumping and surfing. In this exquisite location, we offer simple and stylish accommodation in our timber home, where our family has lived and run a bakery for the past 36 years.

    09 April 2018

    "Where do I begin singing the praises of this absolute gem of a getaway?! I actually do not want to out of fear that next time I want to return it'll be all booked up! Hiking trails on your doorstep, sublime beach, dozens of places to go, things to do. By far the best value for money in Nature's Valley. And I simply love the hosts, Dawn and Ken."

  • "The Wood"

    19 July 2017

    "nice well fitted cottage for an overnight stay. arrived late so did not enjoy the beach much. the unit was clean and the braai area lovely."

  • "Close to the beach"

    23 October 2016

    "We stayed for one night in Dawns self-catering holiday apartment. We parked the car in the fenced yard. It was only a few hundred meters to the beach. The apartment was big, probably a former shed behind the garage across the yard. The bathroom was clean and big, the shower in the extra room was also practical. But you could see that every bit of furniture was second hand, the kitchen utensils very much used. The upholstery was still in plastic wrapping. The electrical wiring seemed improvised, the lighting was somewhat gloomy and finding the right switch was a treasure hunt. The heating was good. For the price it was probably okay, but one should not expect too much comfort."

  • "FANTASTIC HOSPITALITY!"

    22 September 2016

    "Comfortable Room with a lovely view on the upper deck. The Wood B&B is conveniently located with direct access to the beach. <br/>Breakfast was small but just enough to kick-start a day of activity in the sun and SPECTACULAR surrounding nature! <br/>Dawn's husband should be nominated for an award for the BEST apricot jam and marmalade that we have ever had!"

  • "Fantastic stay in self catered cottage"

    06 December 2015

We will definitely be recommending this to our friends!"

Lovely friendly service, good breakfast. Stayed once before at another location in Natures Valley for the double the price but enjoyed our stay at The Wood more. Highly recommended."

    17 April 2011

  • "The perfect family getaway"

    22 March 2011

    "The Woods is conveniently situated close to the sea and right next to the shop and restaurant, yet still quiet and peaceful, with the sound of birdlife all around. And we loved those friendly wagtails that visited inside! The cottage had all the necessities and we were comfortable. This was our fifth stay in Natures Valley, the first time with our baby, and we will keep coming back, because it truly is SA's most beautiful and tranquil destination"
