Our guide to Plettenberg Bay
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
