Welcome to Tarn Country House on SA-Venues.com, offering 4 star graded accommodation in Plettenberg Bay, Garden Route.

Tranquil, peaceful, beautiful are three of the best-suited words to describe Tarn, with its spectacular views of sprawling gardens, majestic mountains and forests, it’s very easy to get lost in the beauty of the property and its surroundings. “Welcome to our slice of heaven, our piece of paradise”.

Tarn is nestled up on a hill in the Crags on a privately owned and managed estate comprising of a 100 acres of indigenous forest. Located on the Garden Route where the Tsitsikamma Forest overlaps the Outeniqua Mountain Range. Situated between Plettenberg Bay / Keurbooms (8km) and Natures Valley (10km), which are some of South Africa’s most stunning coastlines and beaches.

CHILDREN

We accept children of all ages! We have 2 camper beds and 2 camper cots. We also have high chairs.

Our rooms are suitable to share with children, with a max of one additional cot and one camper bed. If the second child is too old for a cot, we recommend taking either one of our Luxury rooms, with a sleeper couch and we put up one additional camper bed.

Or we offer one Luxury room (Sunbird) for the parents and one Standard Twin for the children (Swallow). Those two rooms are right next to each other and have an interleading corridor and separate entrance. In this case the children have their own room and they would be charged full rate.
