A Bit More On Chalet 40
-
The Location
Nestled within the serene environs of the Garden Route, Chalet 40 offers an ideal sanctuary for a family retreat. Positioned within the meticulously maintained 17-hectare expanse of the Silver Ranch estate, this residence features a distinctive circular arrangement surrounding a fenced game encampment. This unique setup enhances the secluded ambiance, providing unobstructed views from both the front and back.
Conveniently located in the Keurbooms River area, Plettenberg Bay is just a 10-minute car ride away. Nearby, Knysna and Storms River Mouth invite visitors with their picturesque drives, adding to the allure of the region.
A 400-meter pathway seamlessly connects Silver Ranch to a breathtaking beach, offering not only a scenic stroll but also opportunities to observe the abundant birdlife near the Keurbooms River lagoon mouth. For those with an adventurous spirit, an eastern hike leads to Keurbooms Strand, where the plateau descends gracefully to meet the sea, marking the beginning of the rugged Tsitsikamma coastline.
It is this exceptional location within our beautiful bay that encourages guests to return time and again. Anyone familiar with the area appreciates the myriad of adventure activities, the excellent golf courses within easy reach, and the variety of outstanding restaurants that Plettenberg Bay has to offer.

In 2025, a robust 36,000 BTU air conditioning unit was added.

For added convenience, all-white linen, bath towels, and beach towels are provided, along with an abundance of extra blankets.
The back patio is generously sized and covered, equipped with a built-in barbecue and outdoor furniture. An additional indoor built-in barbecue offers convenience during chilly winter evenings.

The beautiful beach can be reached via a 400m footpath that leads directly from Silver Ranch. Guests frequently comment on the family-friendly nature of Silver Ranch, noting its safe and spacious grounds for children to play.
