Lovely property with super views over the golf course. The staff were all very pleasant. The local area was pretty and very safe. Unfortunately the golf course restaurant/cafe does not serve food in the evening but we drove into the harbour area for a superb meal.

The golf lodge was amazing - Views over the 1st tee and 9th green - Rooms and clubhouse were done to a very high standard and Debbie the golf manageress was amazing - she even booked us a meal at a local restaurant which was lovely and the owners came and picked you up and dropped you off. Would highly recommend - Chris from UK

Great place and outstanding fruit salad

For us, even as non-golfers, this was the best place to stay in the St Francis area, especially also because the weather was not great, so the beach was not much of an attraction. Great welcome by Elma who gave us the info we needed for the area. Very comfortable bed, great view onto the golf course (we had an upstairs unit, highly recommended), spacious bathroom, we could not have asked for more. And then there is breakfast: We were offered the best fruit salad at any place we have ever stayed at (and we travel a lot). For once there was not just cheap fruit (like apples, oranges and banana) with a bit of tropical fruit as decoration. Everything that is in season at the moment (and it is summer after all), was to be found in this salad. 5* for that. We did not have eggs, so I cannot comment on that. If we ever come into the St Francis area, we will not consider any other place to stay. We also enjoyed a nice walk around the golf course (ParkRun route), right from our doorstep.

Would not hurry back

When we got to the gate to check they sent us to the club house. I explained that I was checking in and they had no clue about my stay. Rather decided to tell me to come at 18:30 when I asked what for they told me dinner. I explained again that I wanted to check in and was told to go back to the entrance gate to get me key. What an absolute waste of my time and told them that they were incompetent.

Einfach super!

Das sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete B&B hat 10 sehr geräumige Schlafzimmer mit großen Badezimmer. Diese Zimmer sind auf 2 Häuser aufgeteilt und jedes Haus hat ein riesiges Ess- und Wohnzimmer mit je einer großzügigen Terrasse. Ebenso ist ein Pool mit Liegen vorhanden. Es ist sehr gepflegt und steht den Gästen zur Verfügung. Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet. Kompetent und sehr freundlich betreut Frau Elmar ihre Gäste. Die St. Francis Golf Lodge war unser schönster Aufenthalt auf der Garden Route.

Die Anlage ist zwar schon rund 10 Jahre alt, aber absolut sehr gut in Schuss. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und behilflich. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und schön. Tolles Frühstück, auch für Nichtgolfer geeignet. Werden hier sicherlich gerne wieder vorbeikommen. Für Golfer, der Platz ist sehr schön und gepflegt, gehört zu den Top 10 in Südafrika.
