• Jolling

    Jolling is a wonderful Afrikaans word for PARTYwhy-because-you-canING. And there’s lots of it in Southern Africa because the people are friendly , the beer is cheap and the nightlife whatever you want it to be. This icon tells you when to put on your dancing shoes.
  • Baz Bus Backpacker Bus

    The Baz Bus backpacker bus is a hop-on’ hop-off backpackers bus that has a variety of routes around South Africa. It’s an easy way to get from A to B and a fun way to meet other travellers.
  • Whale watching

    Southern Right whales visit in winter, and many other whales are found along our shores.

Directions

From N2: At Shell Ultra City turn into Marine Way. Left into Park Lane. Last house on right.

Amakaya is very close to the Plett action

As popular as ever, Amakaya means “home”, so move in and make yourself at home!

A short 300m stroll gets you to Main Street, the hub of Pletts’ shops, restaurants and nightlife. But if “life’s a beach” for you, wind your way down to the ever popular Central Beach.

Fully equipped for self-catering, Amakaya also has 2 braai areas, a communal lounge, outside fire-pit and hammocks. The upstairs bar and verandah is the ideal place to relax with its mountain, lagoon and sea views. That said, Plett’s not made for sitting around, as Amakaya well knows - so let them help you plan some memorable adventures.
