I’ll be honest: The Boat House is so incredibly blissful that I had to be shoehorned out the front door so we could indulge in the myriad other pleasures offered by Plettenberg Bay. (It was the promise of sundown cocktails on the deck at Emily Moon that proved to be the magic charm.) The Boat House is a great contemporary interpretation of the farmhouse vernacular. It is chic, slick, totally unpretentious and incomparably comfortable.
