Stanley Island: Plettenberg Bay

Stanley Island is an exclusive, unique piece of land situated near Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route of South Africa.

Stanley Island measures 27,4 hectares and visiting it could be described as a truly African experience.

The Island is situated two hours drive from Port Elizabeth (200 km), and one hours drive from George (100 km) in the Keurbooms River.

Port Elizabeth and George host domestic daily flights with weekly flights into Plettenberg Bay.

Vegetation

The vegetation could truly be described as a magnificent example of the Eastern Cape Coastal Bush. Various succulent coastal types, as well as dense coastal bush predominantly occupies the Island. Many indigenous tree species are also resident on the Island, Milk woods and Wild Olives to name but a few. The dense brush has been carefully manicured in order to gain various access points, and to create a truly African Bush character.

Bird & Wildlife

Bird life is abundant on the Island. It ranges from the ever present coastal wader species, which is made up of Plovers, Jacanas, Herons, Gulls and others, to the bush varieties including Cysticulas, Honey guides, Apalis, Warblers and some garden varieties such as Mouse Birds, Sun Birds, Drongos, White-eyes etc. The raptors in the area include, African Fish Eagles, Falcons, Kites etc. A comprehensive bird list is available for visitors. There are also some Greybuck and Springbuck on the island.
