Two suites that simply work together.

The Beginning Suite and Middle Suite each offer something slightly different but work best together.
The Beginning Suite is bright and calm, with natural light flowing through to a private outdoor sitting area, opening onto the pool deck and garden.

The Middle Suite offers more space to settle in, with a lounge area, workstation, and direct access to the same garden and pool surroundings.

Both suites feature king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms with double basins, and the small details that make a stay feel comfortable, from coffee stations to considered finishes.

Connected by a small library, the two suites can be booked together as a family suite.

Some dinners become part of the trip.

Down in Keurboomstrand, Enrico’s is one of those places guests often end up talking about long after they’ve gone home.

The food matters, of course.
But it’s really the atmosphere people remember.

The sea just a few steps away.
Long lunches that turn into sunset dinners.
The feeling that nobody’s in a hurry to leave.

Chereen and Wayne have known Enrico and his family for years, and it’s become one of those places that naturally form part of the Long Story experience.

When guests would like to visit, Evans takes care of the booking arrangements, making sure everything is in place before you arrive.

And while every table has its own view of the ocean, he always does his best to secure one with a beautiful view.
It’s the kind of evening that settles into your trip naturally.
And usually, one you end up wishing lasted a little longer.

Stay a little longer… there’s always more to discover.

The people behind your stay matter more than you think.

When you arrive somewhere new, it’s not just the space you respond to.

It’s the people.

The way you’re welcomed.
The pace of that first interaction.
Whether you feel like you can settle in straight away… or need a moment to adjust.

At Long Story, Evans has been part of the guesthouse for years, and that consistency shapes the experience in ways guests often feel before they notice.

Things are done properly.
Not rushed. Not overdone.

Just in a way that makes it easier to arrive and easier to settle in.

Book directly with us and settle in from the moment you arrive https://thelongstory.co.za/book-your-stay/

Some of the best parts of a stay happen before you even notice them.

A breakfast prepared just the way you like it.
A space that feels ready for you, not just cleaned for you.
Details that don’t need to be asked for twice.

At Long Story, it’s these quiet moments behind the scenes that shape how your stay feels.

Not rushed.
Not overdone.
Just… taken care of.

Book direct and we’ll take it from there.

Some experiences stay with you long after your trip ends.

Just outside Plettenberg Bay, there’s a place that feels a little different from the rest.

The Elephant Sanctuary isn’t about watching from a distance.
You walk alongside them, slowly, quietly, learning their stories as you go.

Each one has its own story.

When you’re that close, everything slows down.

You stop thinking about what’s next.
You just stay where you are for a moment.

It’s quiet.
It’s unhurried.

There’s no rush to move through it.

Many of our guests pair it with a slower afternoon in the Crags - wine tasting, long lunches, open space.

Evans has done the walk himself, so if it’s something you’re interested in, he’ll guide you on the best way to experience it and take care of the arrangements.

The kind of day that doesn’t need much structure to feel full.

And when you come back, the pace softens again.

If this feels like your kind of day, book directly with us and we’ll help you make it happen.
