We had the absolute pleasure of staying in the Elegia unit, which is perfect for two people. It comes fully equipped with a kitchen and braai area, so you can whip up your own meals if you’re feeling inspired. The best part? Elegia faces a small watering hole, meaning you can sip your morning coffee while watching zebras stroll by. 🥹🦓 Does it get more magical than that?

If cooking isn’t your vibe, don’t worry—there are two fantastic restaurants on the island! You can enjoy a sundowner at the Island Beach Bar (the cocktails are 10/10) or enjoy a mouthwatering meal at The Stowaway. Our personal pick? Start your day with breakfast at The Stowaway, where you can soak up breathtaking views of the Keurbooms Lagoon. 😍☕

There’s so much to do on Stanley Island, you’ll never run out of adventures. From kayaking, swimming, and stand-up paddleboarding to fishing, boat rides, or a peaceful riverside picnic, it’s the ultimate outdoor playground. 🌊🛶

Getting to the island is part of the fun! A free ferry runs throughout the day to transport guests across, making the journey feel even more special. And don't stress about parking your vehicle on the mainland, there's security watching over it. 🚤

For us, Stanley Island ticks all the boxes: unique, affordable, and packed with activities while still being a tranquil retreat. It’s a must-visit if you’re travelling through Plettenberg Bay or the Garden Route.
