		<description><![CDATA[Now in its third year, Plett ARTS Festival is morphing its identity into something quite unique, and has garnered a small, but growing following. Running from 21-28 June 2019, the festival has been timed to coincide with the Knysna Oyster Festival for those who would like to indulge in the best both festivals have to offer. As part of the 2019 Plett ARTS Festival programme, there will be seven ‘opening nights’ during the festival at various venues around Plettenberg Bay. The Plettenberg will be hosting the ‘Women of Art’ exhibition in partnership with Gallop Hill Gallery. The show features work by Elize Bezuidenhout, Phulani Liebenberg and Marieke Prinsloo Rowe,  and there will be an introduction of the mysterious artist, Olivier. The mystery around Olivier has caused a buzz in the art world. Having been an artist for many years, she never released any of her artwork to the public due to her connection to very influential people in the art industry.  The exhibition will be open to the public from 21 – 28 June 2019.. The first official night of the Plett Arts Festival at The Plettenberg will take place on Saturday, 22 June 2019, jointly hosted by Dijonne Du [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Plettenberg in Plettenberg Bay offers unparalleled sites for whale-watching and invites visitors to enjoy unforgettable whale-watching experiences and learn more about these majestic sea animals. Visitors to the hotel are afforded the experience of watching whales from the comfort of their hotel rooms in the sea-facing suites. Around 100 Southern Right Whales migrate to South African shores from the Antarctic to give birth and mate along the southern coast. This happens between June and November every year. The hotel is situated on a rocky headland in Plettenberg Bay along the famous Garden Route and is a haven for Southern Right, Humpback and Bryde’s whales. It’s important to note that excursions restrict viewing distances and time spent with each animal so that there is minimal interference and the whale is not disturbed. That being said, if you’re lucky, you can enjoy a spectacular display of breaching, tail and flipper slapping, sailing and spy hopping. “It is important that we take steps to ensure the health and well-being of these creatures that grace our shores” says Jacqui Elliott, CEO of The Collection by Liz McGrath. “Not only do they bring joy to those who love whale-watching, but they are critical to [...]]]></description>
