This property is very special to our family and we would therefore like to share some background information with you.

We cherish this house immensely as it is a paradise to us where we can celebrate life, being a family and spending time with our children and loved ones in beautiful natural surroundings.

We acquired Pansy Shell House at the end of an unforgettable holiday and road trip to the Garden Route, and we will therefore always associate it with happy and memorable times.

Since then, we have had many more good memories in Pansy Shell House, and look forward to these experiences and memories growing, as our children become older through the years to come.

Pansy Shell House is a place where we come to take time out of life’s busy schedule and rejuvenate ourselves. It is a place where the natural beauty of the surroundings makes you feel calm and serene – taking you out of your daily routine so that you can find your inner peace and rhythm again.

We would like to share this experience with you, our guests, and we look forward to you savouring and preserving this treasure, as we would.

Please therefore feel at home, relax and enjoy the house, it’s ammenities and all the natural beauty surrounding it!

We trust that you will build equally cherished memories during your stay, and hope you will visit Pansy Shell House again in the near future.

The Owners

The pansy shell serves as the emblem of Plettenberg Bay, and is a white disc shaped shell with a beautiful flower carved on it's back - making it a fine shell collector specimen. The pansy shell is really the sun bleached shell of a borrowing urchin - some species elsewhere in the world are called Sand Dollars or Sea Cookies.
The pansy shell is particularly popular because it is such a rare find along the Garden Route - the only place in the world where these shells occur. Nothing seems to be as thrilling as discovering an undamaged pansy shell yourself, making a visit to the charming Plettenberg Bay complete.
Go for a walk on the beach early morning, or at sunset, and see what surprises Mother Nature may have saved for you...
