Barefoot Beach Living

From cappuccino to shoreline in minutes. Robberg 5 is just a short stroll away, inviting you to walk at sunrise, swim at midday, and watch the sun set with your feet in the sand.

Put your feet up

A Nespresso coffee or a pot of tea is always within reach in your private suite. Settle into a chair with your favourite book, or cosy up in a Netflix series. This is your time to unwind.

The Spirit of Plett

Let us guide you to our favourite corners of Plettenberg Bay. From Robberg hikes to hidden markets and seaside restaurants, experience the town as we know and love it.

Fire & Feast

Gather at the pool, light the pizza oven, and linger over a braai under the stars. With good food, music, and laughter, this is where lasting memories are made.

Soulful Spaces

Our finca is designed for both togetherness and retreat. Find connection around the firepit or honesty bar, or slip away into the sanctuary of your private suite.

Rest & revive

Slip into soft cotton percale linen and drift away on mattresses chosen for their dreamy comfort. Close the shutters, adjust the aircon, and let the sound of the sea carry you into sweet dreams.

Hi, I'm Taryn

I am so excited to welcome you to Yellowtail Finca. For years I dreamed of finding a place where families and friends could gather, slow down, and reconnect. My husband and I also needed a home big enough for our four sons, their partners, and children to come together from all over the world, share laughter, and take a breather from busy lives.

When I found this property, I knew it was the one. This part of Plettenberg Bay is my favourite place to go on holiday on the South African coast. What I love most is how close we are to Robberg 5 beach. You can make yourself a cappuccino, grab a towel, and within minutes be sitting on the sand watching the waves and breathing in the sea air.

The finca has seven spacious en-suite bedrooms, so everyone has the chance to retreat when they need their own quiet space. And the pool area, with its honesty bar, loungers, pizza oven, and braai, is where some of the best memories are made with the people you love
