About Stanley Island Private Nature Reserve

Stanley Island Private Nature Reserve is the only privately-owned island in South Africa and it is situated in the spectacularly beautiful Keurbooms Lagoon.

This 28-hectare nature reserve has its own indigenous forest, a 1000 metre grass runway, magnificent birdlife and secluded thatched chalets. Game roam freely among the chalets and there are long stretches of private beach. The island is a wonderful base for all water sports and it is ideally positioned for exploring the Plettenberg Bay area. Your privacy is our priority and escaping the mainland is a mere ferry trip away.

Guests have the full use of our canoes; and motorboats are available for rent. Residents and guests can access the island by small aircraft or our own ferry.

Beach: Stanley island is a private island nature reserve in the keurbooms river 5min from Plettenberg bay. The island has several secluded beaches overlooking the river.

Family friendly: The island is very family friendly as there is 28ha for kids to explore on your very own private island. Canoeing, fishing, walks, wildlife, birds and space!

WE had a lovely stay, very relaxing and a special experience. Tinnie and the staff are fabulous, very accommodating and relaxed and with great attention to detail. The accommodation is top class. Highlight is the ferry crossing. Will definitely be back.
