We did the Robberg hike near Plettenberg Bay. Although I have done this a number of times as a day hike I have never slept over. It is so beautiful and the hut very well equiped.
The hike is a lot harder when you have a pack with you, especially when you over cater but was really fantastic. We spotted lots of seals and dolphins. We even managed to sight a few whales and a Hammerhead Shark!
The only negative was finding a scorpion in my bed, but at least I spotted him before I climbed in!
For the rest I will let the photo’s speak for themselves.

I love Robberg! When I lived in Plett a friend and I used to do the day walk almost every weekend… It has so many moments that take your breath away. Thanks for thinking of me, I’ll happily return to Robberg with you!
For some reason staying over made it seem even more special. I think because you are not rushing anywhere!
That`s such an apt title, that looks AWESOME!
Meh. Looks OK. Ish.

Francois – It was
6000 – looks like you were having fun too.
We were. My mum is [age] years old and has two artificial leg joints, so it was pretty impressive for her to get up there. I barely broke a sweat, obviously.
6000 – very impressive! (your mom – just to clarify)
