"When moving to Plettenberg Bay, it's important to pack a variety of clothing to accommodate the mild climate, including lightweight clothing for the summer months and warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat or umbrella, as Plettenberg Bay can experience rainfall throughout the year. Pack plenty of sun protection, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats, as the South African sun can be quite strong. It's also a good idea to pack comfortable walking shoes, as Plettenberg Bay offers plenty of outdoor activities. If you plan on swimming or participating in water sports, be sure to pack swimwear and any necessary equipment. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, including any prescription medications you may need. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. Don't forget to pack all necessary travel documents, such as your passport, visa, and any other identification you may need. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some basic kitchen supplies, as these can be expensive to buy new. Lastly, pack any personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. Remember, it's always better to over-pack than to realize you've forgotten something important once you've arrived at your new home," said another expat in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa.
