Tarn Country House \ Accommodation in Plettenberg Bay

Tranquil, peaceful, beautiful are three of the best-suited words to describe Tarn, with its spectacular views of sprawling gardens, majestic mountains and forests, it’s very easy to get lost in the beauty of the property and its surroundings. “Welcome to our slice of heaven, our piece of paradise”.

Tarn is nestled up on a hill in the Crags on a privately owned and managed estate comprising of a 100 acres of indigenous forest. Located on the Garden Route where the Tsitsikamma Forest overlaps the Outeniqua Mountain Range. Situated between Plettenberg Bay / Keurbooms (8km) and Natures Valley (10km), which are some of South Africa’s most stunning coastlines and beaches.

ACCOMMODATION

Tarn offers 9 individually styled, en-suite bed-rooms with bidet. All our rooms are ground level, have a patio with garden furniture and beautiful garden- and mountain views.

The Rooms
Two sunny Standard Twin (of which one has separate shower and bath).
Two Standard Queen-size (shower over bath).
Four Luxury rooms, as well Twin or King-size (1 with sleeper couch, two with double oval bath, two with fire-place, all with separate shower and bath).

Each bedroom has a fan, heater, coffee-tea making facilities, welcome beverage, hiking stick, umbrella, swimming pool towels, extra blanket, hair dryer, torch and mosquito repellent.

Delicious breakfast served on the patio overlooking sprawling gardens or in the spacious breakfast room.

CHILDREN

We accept children of all ages! We have 2 camper beds and 2 camper cots. We also have high chairs.

Our rooms are suitable to share with children, with a max of one additional cot and one camper bed. If the second child is too old for a cot, we recommend taking either one of our Luxury rooms, with a sleeper couch and we put up one additional camper bed.

Or we offer one Luxury room (Sunbird) for the parents and one Standard Twin for the children (Swallow). Those two rooms are right next to each other and have an interleading corridor and separate entrance. In this case the children have their own room and they would be charged full rate.
