Great place!

Everyone at this guest house is lovely! The rooms are large and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, and the gentleman even made sure I had extra fruit. It is also walking distance from a very nice restaurant and the shark diving companies and dock. I would highly recommend this place.

Clean rooms, kitchen facilities were good as we arrived on Christmas Day so nothing was open. Glad to be able to cook a meal for my family on this day. Hot tub was a lovely touch. The fridge was also very useful since we had a few items to chill. The proximity to the shark dive center is also very convenient. Definitely can recommend.

A little gem!!

From the beginning we were greeted with smiles and courtesy. What a lovely little guesthouse. Lovely rooms and seating areas/balcony. Great breakfast too. Very clean and felt very safe there. Our hosts Marius and Nicola were superb. Our only disappointment was that we were only staying for 1 night!!

Wunderbares Hotel

Es ist eine der Besten Unterkünfte in der ich jemals gewesen bin. Die Besitzer Nicola und Marius waren sehr hilfsbereit und Herzlich von anfang bis ende meines Aufenthaltes. Es gibt Herausragendes Frühstück und es mangelt einem an nichts. Die Aussicht aus meinem zimmer auf den Atlantik war der absolute Wahnsinn! Zum Haitauchen und einem hervorragenden Restaurant sind es 50m über die Straße. Alles im allem kann ich jedem diese Unterkunft empfehlen.

Ended up with the whole place to ourselves! Rene was b3yond hospitable and made us feel like family. Let us shower after our shark dive so we wouldn't be dirty for our drive afterwards Nd allowed us to help ourselves to any food in the fridge. Had suggestions for dinner options and lovely views from all parts of the house. Onsite parking was convenient and was walking distance from the shark do d companies and the launch site. It was SO nice to quickly come back to shower and still make it back to lunch and the final recap

The facilities were excellent. A great common room with amazing views of the bay, spacious and well appointed, clean rooms. It's across the street from the Great White House restaurant and >5min walking distance to all of the shark diving tour companies. In addition, the customer service was excellent. We had a late check in and Rene came in after hours just to help us out and give us the full tour. Monique was super friendly the next day. Highly recommend if you are in Gansbaai

Great friendly welcome from Monique, making us feel so at home! The property is over a couple of floors with communal lounge and kitchen, breakfast area. The rooms are immaculate and spacious with huge bathroom and shower facilities. The deck area was an added bonus with a quiet aspect but really enjoyable. I was surprised that the boat tour company I booked with just opposite so really handy. We loved the quietness of the area and opted to stay another night, booking another room in error but that was no problem for the BnB manager who changed this for us. Monique offered lots of advice and help with other areas to visit, Great place to stay !
