The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

    Gansbaai was a comfortable city with spectacular views where our family explored the southern coast of South Africa. We discovered hidden beaches, spotted many beautiful Protea flowers, sunbathed on Pearly Beach, went to the fish market in the harbor at Gansbaai, lunched on butter chicken and fish and chips at the Blue Goose, restaurant on Hoop St, hiked Klipgat Caves at the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, glimpsed a pod of orcas, and a mother Southern Right whale and her calf, spotted three of the Marine Big 5, dined at the White House, saw Danger Point lighthouse along a four wheel drive track along the beach, found crazy amounts of beautiful shells on the beach. It was an epic adventure.

    I loved the laid-back feeling, just appropriate for switching off and being away from it all. The place is just some 30 minutes away from Hermanus. One is able to enjoy both towns on a visit to that part of the world.

    Stunning, modern and luxurious.... Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home had everything we could possibly need. Exquisitely decorated and everything, right down to the cutlery and glassware, is high quality. Bed was extremely comfortable. Lovely handwritten welcome note and complimentary bottle of wine on our arrival.

    It was definitely the highlight of our southafrica trip to stay with Nynke and Ernst! The hotel was perfect but they and their team made us feel like home apart from home. We would recommend everyone to stay here! The beach and the estate were awesome. The massages were so good, I had two of them ;) the food at the small restaurant was just great. They really put all the affort they can in this place which makes it magical. Thank you so much - we send all the love from switzerland ♥️

    The view and sound of the sea was wonderful. our host, Chris was very nice and accommodating. i hope we can go again and again. We will also take friends another time. We usually do self catering, but this room had all we needed, even a fridge and microwave and there are nice places to go for a meal in town. loved it!

    The view- wow. The hotel is set in the most gorgeous spot. The whole lodge was designed so beautifully with even the smallest detail having been carefully thought through. The owners have a very special eye. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend the hotel more. We wish we could stay longer!
