My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. The view over the bay (when the clouds cleared!) was spectacular and our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The B&B is an ideal base for exploring Plett and the eastern end of the Garden Route. The rooms are clean and modern and breakfast was tasty and filling. Highly recommended!

A few weeks ago, my wife and I stayed overnight at the Bosavern Guest House in Plettenberg Bay. Not our first trip to Plett as we had honeymooned at the Beacon Isle some 25 years earlier with a few visits between then and now. Bosavern is a lovely private guest house and was clean, attractive, and restful. The hosts, Viv... More

My wife and I spent two nights at Bosavern at the end of March and can say without hesitation, that this was the best of the seven places we stayed in on our Garden Route trip. The guest house was clean and modern with a crisp feel about it. Our bed was enormous! As noted by others the views are... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the 'brilliant Bosavern', starting with a wonderful welcome from Viv and Gerald (the owners) who continued their warm hospitality throughout our visit to their wonderful Guest House. The view is really spectacular across Plettenberg Bay and there is no better way to have breakfast with stunning views to go with it. Whilst... More

Having breakfast facing the spectacular view was the highlight for us at Bosavern. Our hosts were friendly, warm and professional. This guesthouse is a must when you stay in the Garden Route. It is situated in a peacefull and quiet part of the town (Plettenberg Bay). Lots of little added touches which made our experience that much better.

The house was very clean, everything is white -- floors, walls, ceilings and wood work with very little on the walls. For us, it was a little too sterile. However, the breakfast was great and I would definitely recommend this guest house. We just like a warmer atmosphere.

This was a last minute booking, on our way from CT to PE, so we took what we could get. Its a stylish (in a modern way), with lots of light colours and the room being all white. I like a big bed, good a/c and a powerful shower and we got all 3 here. We arrived in time to... More

A "superb" four night stay at Bosavern! Quite faultless and Viv & Gerald make you feel very much at home without be intrusive! Their local tips were great and should be followed to make the most of your stay. We certainly plan to go again.

A stylish guest house with outstanding interior and a splendid view over Plett. Viv and Gerald were excellent hosts always ready to give us a piece of advice in all matters. The delicious bread and Beatrice's smile made our mornings. We had a great time and would always come back.
