Plett ranks 4th in Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards
As part of their Travellers’ Choice Awards 2015, TripAdvisor recently released a list of the top 10 places in South Africa, nine of which can be found in the Western Cape and includes our lovely Plettenberg Bay.
The only destination outside of the province is Johannesburg, which ranked fifth position in South Africa.
The destinations were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for hotels, attractions and restaurants in destinations worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period.
Cape Town Central tops the list, Knysna in second position, Franschhoek at number three and Plett coming in at fourth.
TripAdvisor branded sites make up the largest travel community in the world, with more than 315 million unique monthly visitors, and more than 200 million reviews and opinions covering more than 4.5 million accommodations, restaurants, and attractions, operating in 45 countries worldwide.
In awarding Plett 4th place in top destinations to visit, TripadVisor said:
“The caves of Plettenberg Bay are wrinkles in time, lined with ancient artifacts that date to the Middle Stone Age. Under the sun, Robberg, Central and Lookout beaches are pristine stretches of white sand, magnets for tourists, seagulls and dolphins, who bob playfully just off shore. Wildlife lovers will delight at the Birds of Eden aviary and Monkeyland. (How can you not have fun in a place called Monkeyland?)”
