The Lookout Deck sits two stories higher than the open Indian Ocean and is considered a destination for locals and visitors. Sitting directly on the Keurbooms Lagoon
and Lookout Beach, The Lookout Deck offers unobstructed ocean views, gentle breezes, and the glamorous light of Pletts famous sunsets to add a hint of tropical colour to your cocktail.
A place where neighbours, friends, family and even strangers come together for a memorable Plett experience. After all, this is what you came to Plett for.
We do not take bookings on the Deck and work on a first come first serve basis!
Joining The Deck is its “big sister” Equinox flame & flavour. Literally sea-side, Equinox sits on the Lookout beach and offers holiday makers and residents a classy and casual choice, while celebrating the best of what Plett has to offer – extraordinary seascapes, blue flag beaches, great food and good company. Equinox – new, different and fresh!

    Claude was an excellent waiter - we took visiting friends who had never visited your restaurant before, and they were very happy with the location (walked on the beach beforehand) and the food! Thanks

    The Chilli prawns wasn't what I expected. It came across boiled, and the Chilli sauce was more a chilli tomato relish, something you'd put on pap. Wouldn't recommend the Chilli prawn festival meal to anyone unfortunately.

    Been a regular patron here bringing numerous guests. Sunday's Mother's Day Special was a farce. Although we reserved our table, no Welcoming drink nor dessert as advertised. Very disappointed. Still had to pay full price. Find the Vegetarian burgers also overpriced. Otherwise the Location is a winner and service good. Live Music was a little loud for conversation.

    Hi Rudi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you appreciate our fantastic Location, attentive service, and the overall ambiance. However, we sincerely apologise for the disappointment you experienced during your Mother's Day Special. It's disheartening to learn that we fell short on some of the promises made, especially concerning the welcoming drink and dessert. We value your insights on the vegetarian burgers and will certainly take this into consideration for the future. We appreciate your continued support as a regular patron and hope to see you again soon. We have escalated the matter to the relevant GM. Warm regards, 😊 Customer Care – Life and Brand Portfolio

    Our booking was a disaster. We booked at the door leading onto the deck. 4 weeks before. On arrival, we were in the corner in the back of the restaurant. Fortunately the weather was good and we managed to get a table outside.
