Where you'll be

Keurboomsrivier, Western Cape, South Africa

Nestled just 8 km from the heart of Plettenberg Bay, Keurbooms River Lodge offers a serene waterside lifestyle that blends effortless convenience with unspoiled nature. Winding along the quiet beach road, the estate sits on the banks of the Keurbooms River and leads directly to the expansive Keurbooms Beach.

Gentle estuarine waters invite boating, swimming, and fishing, while the riverbank and surrounding indigenous forest offer peaceful walking paths where guests may spot local wildlife such as duiker, grysbok, and vervet monkeys before emerging onto pristine dunes and the Indian Ocean beyond.

The protected Keurbooms River Reserve makes this area a bird-watcher's paradise, home to Knysna loeries, fish eagles, and the endemic Cape seahorse hidden among eel-grass beds. Nearby restaurants, a deli, and a coffee shop overlook river or sea views just minutes from the lodge.

Whether you're seeking sunrise paddles on calm lagoon waters, sunset picnics on estate lawns, or a short drive into Plettenberg Bay's shops, galleries, and eateries, the Keurbooms neighbourhood offers a perfect balance of tranquility and coastal adventure.

Getting around

Getting around Keurbooms River Lodge is easy by car, taxi, ferry, or on foot. The estate is located just off the N2 highway, approximately 6 km (about a nine-minute drive) from central Plettenberg Bay, with ample free on-site parking available.

Taxis and ride-share services operate throughout Plettenberg Bay and can be booked via local apps or phone. A scenic alternative is the Keurbooms River ferry, which departs twice daily from Plettenberg Bay Marina for a peaceful boat journey to the lodge.

For those who prefer to walk, well-maintained estate pathways lead through manicured gardens to the riverbank and Keurbooms Beach in under 15 minutes.
