The breakfast was so-so. It would be nice to have a better choice of breads and a better selection of fresh fruit.
We LOVED our room decor and the tastefulness of the entire public areas. So well done. It would be lovely to have a list somewhere of the various pieces of art and their creator.
We were put in a room that was not what we paid for which was a pool view room. The only view was a wall. Rather confining.
We ate one meal there which was NOT good. THe carpaccio was not a carpaccio and slightly cooked. My sandwich was three layers of bread. Too much. The menu has a nice selection including small items such as sandwiches. Make a simple toastie or sandwich. After our first night experience we went to eat out instead which is a shame. Everything else was so lovely.

Lovely old property conveniently situated. Staff couldn’t have been more charming and helpful. We had one lunch there which was absolutely delicious.
Nothing except perhaps the choices at breakfast could have been a little wider but all in all we loved it and hope to return very soon

Lovely intimate hotel very close to the centre of Plett which is a delightful town and well worth a visit. Shout out to the staff for getting us a doctors appointment so quickly. Would highly recommend The Old Rectory.
I would prefer the hotel to be adults only, the space around the pool is too intimate for noisy kids. But apart from that it was perfect.

Location
The rooms are extremely small with no view and outdoor cold small enclosed garden area and is very poor value for money . The basin tap shot off on its own and water sprayed all over the bathroom . Service of waitress at pool and breakfast very poor and slow . Food was fine but for example breakfast eggs arrived at table all cold and toast was not brought at the same time as the eggs (forgotten) and salt shaker was broken , my son didn’t get a fork after asking twice etc … nobody walked around asking to take drink orders regularly when at the pool , the trees in the entrance area really have a terrible scent turning you off when walking around outside … all in all quite disappointed ! I rather spend 8 k more per night and stay and the Plettenberg hotel (also known to me as a guest there) with a bath and shower in your room (not just a shower as was on offer with this particular room ) and a swimming pool which is heated overlooking the ocean with stunning views from all rooms and proper service 24 hours and eager staff and friendly support etc .
