Secure Parking! Which is a major plus! Debbie helped us around and location is walking distance to town. Thank you Debbie and Amakaya!
Travelling on the N2 as you enter Plettenberg Bay turn down Marine Way at the Shell Ultra City garage.After the next traffic circle follow the 'Amakaya' sign turning left into Park Lane. We are the last house on the right hand side.Travelling by Baz Bus? Just hop off in front of the gate and walk right in!
