You'd think that a place like Plettenburg Bay would be full of places where you can buy some fresh fish for your braai, but think again. However, the local Tourist Information Office sent us off to Robberg Seafood Safari to satisfy our fishy requirements. It's on the outskirts of town, just off the N2 at the Plettenburg roundabout in the business park area. The selection of seafood is amazing with loads of unusual varieties such as Yellowtail, Kingklip, Kob, etc, with an excellent selection of shellfish, too. They make their own smoked fish, sell sushi, and have a small deli section. A good feature is being able to select your fish early in the day which they will then keep for you in the fridge for collection later on (saves the fish from spoiling if left in the car all day). There's a shop in Knysna, also.

If you like eating seafood in sight of the sea, then Enrico's is the place for you. As their T-shirt strap-line says "Any closer and you'll get wet". Enrico's is perched on the cliff-edge where you can feel the spray from the breakers while you're tucking into your crisply-fried calamari. The restaurant provides typical italian fare in its cosy interior, but when the sun's out, the outside tables in view of the surf are packed. Service is prompt and enthusiastic.

It's a wildlife centre which supports its work of helping endangered species by keeping wild cats. They have lots of different cats from cheetahs, to servals to African wild cats - and you can go into their compounds with the guides and it's fascinating.

The top bit for me was being able to stroke a baby cheetah and then to walk two teenage cheetahs. They are on a harness and walk along with you. They alternate sitting on the ground purring and refusing to move with leaping off into the undergrowth to chase random small squeaky things. It was a wonderful experience and I got some great photos!

We went on the sunset cheetah walk (pre booking essential - it was full the first time we tried) then had a glass of wine with the owner, who was charming - and heard all about the work they do.

Unreservedly recommend the place.

It's based about 20 minutes east of Plettenburg Bay - near Birds of Eden and Monkeyland.

The accomodation is chalet style, but comfortable. Each room has a separate theme, and overlooks a golf course. It has a decent restaurant with a fair selection of wines, and the locals use it, so it's not overpriced.
