Amazing. Perfect location, great facilities, the apartments were beautiful and had everything you could need! The sea view ones are exceptional. The staff were so welcoming and the service was excellent! The team made us all (including my toddler) feel so at home and took incredible care of us . Loved the stay, we will be back!

The accommodation is very tastefully decorated and it is just a short walk from the sea. The owner was nice and even gave us an upgrade. It is quite impressive how the owner managed to create multiple accommodations on the same property, while our accommodation still felt very private and unique. The area felt safe walking back from the restaurants in the early evening.

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!

The location is WOW! The views are outstanding, and the hotel is so central. The seating area and pool is beautiful. The reception area is full of character. Our room exceeded all expectations! Beautiful balcony overlooking the pool and the sea. A woodfire heated hot tub (fabulous), the room was really big, exceptionally clean, smart tv, fridge, beautiful free-standing bath in the room with bath salts. It was truly gorgeous. Loved it. Staff at reception were beyond helpful! So informative about local tours etc and even rang and booked dinners for us when we were dining elsewhere.

We found paradise..so calming and wonderful. The staff is so kind and relaxed, you feel immediately welcome. The surrounding is just overwhelming beautiful. If you wanna wind down, enjoy the ocean, take a walk and have a beautiful home, than this is your choice. Gideon and his team do everything to make you feel at home. In the evening there are fabulous restaurants to chose from. The breakfast on the terrace makes everyday just perfect. Thank you. We will be back.😍

Magnificent stay! The hosts Kate and Blessed were welcoming, accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stray very special. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean and a balcony where we enjoyed drinks with a view of the ocean. Our hosts arranged last minute massages for us that we had at the lodge and were the best we have ever had! The lodge is very close to a trail that runs along the beautiful ocean coastline.

Friendly check-in and a great safe stay. Beautiful views of the dam and the mountains. The tents are so comfortable and well fitted out. It was fabulous to have the aircon and a large deck to relax. The bird life is amazing and the walks in the vineyards and protea fields are most enjoyable.

Lovely views from a scenic coastal path.

Lovely views from a scenic coastal path. Part of the costal path towards the town is in need of repair and therefore closed but doesn’t distract from the great views. During the season whale watching can be great to see. Bars and restaurants are of a good standard, for us the steaks at Chard’s are excellent and well worth trying

Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village.

Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village. It offers the chance to rekindle your oneness with nature and explore the beauty of the surrounding countryside and Reserves. Stanford offers a unique shopping experience, which seemingly encourages a more relaxed, ambient pastime. We were very privileged to be able to dine at Madre's, an iconic restaurant with food to match, a gastronomic experience in itself. There appears to be annual shows held in the town, those being the Flower Show and the Motor Shows, both of which appear to attract great interest from locals and holidaymakers alike. A beautiful and very special town, with its very own personality and charm.

Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town.

Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town. I think its perfect for tourists and locals if you are looking for a laid back breakaway. Its quite easy to get around and find different places of interest. We enjoyed visiting the Stony Point Penguin Colony. We spotted quite a number of birds. There are lovely trails for short hikes on the mountainside. The beach is wonderful with white soft sand. The water is quite cold though.

A mini Spar or OK with a bakery and some quick meals would be ideal and very convenient. The residential area is fairly large yet quiet and the perfect spot for whale watching. The cliff path is scenic and well built.

It is a very peaceful village with a lovely beach. I was there off season which was perfect as coming in summer must be hectic. Met very helpful people from the pharmacy, the small supermarket and the laundry lady. Excellent restaurant - The Cork Eatery! Very nice owner and very good food. Enjoyed a lovely meal. Beach is beautiful but I may have gone to the wrong entrance as a bit of a trek to the sea but well worth it. Big plus - pet friendly area.

As noted the area was quiet loved that we could walk and every one on that drove past us waved, etc. The accommodation was great. I love the bath. I am not sure if something can be done with us hearing each other as we are very close to each other. Walls does separate I think are too thin, it is like you hear when someone is in the bathroom or room. In the lounge area it is not so.
