Company information

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in guesthouses and B&B’s when we first holidayed in South Africa in 1998. We were soon encumbered by the dream of owning our own special haven, and soon after returning to our homeland in the Netherlands, we decided to make our dream a reality. Taking enthusiastic steps to reach our goal, we booked our tickets to South Africa, put our home on the market and left the rest to chance. After only 5 days of being back in Cape Town, we came across and immediately fell in love with the sanctuary that was to be ours – Plumwood Inn. Within a week, we received notification that our house in the Netherlands was to be sold. All the pieces in our life puzzle were falling meticulously into place. On 11 January 2001, we made the official move to South Africa. A mere 2 days later, we opened our doors to the first guests. Over the years we gradually added some neighboring houses, renovated them and added to the guesthouse. The guesthouse is now 11 rooms in 3 adjacent buildings. We look forward to welcoming and treating you to an unforgettable and cherished stay.
