Reviews from previous Belle Balance Bush Hideout guests
“A hidden gem in the South Coast, close to Plettenberg Bay on the Plettenberg Bay Nature Reserve. The establishment has high end decor, yet very rustic with lots of outside seating to appreciate the views. A beautiful large swimming pool for the hot days and scrumptious breakfasts and dinners. We had an awesome spa treatment too. Our cottage has two bedrooms with stunning views over the wooded valley below. The other rooms are all spacious with king beds and en suite bathrooms. A must visit for newlyweds or families with young adults or just per person who wants to get away from city life. The manager, Annalize is attentive to all guests’ needs,” wrote _danville fourie on their TripAdvisor page.
