Every was amazing and peaceful! We had our fine, the other guest were very friendly.

The only drawback that caused issues for us: two of the guests staying at Gonana acted as if they were at their own home. They wore robes with nothing on underneath whenever they were in public; including at breakfast and when walking the beach. Even after we spoke to the man and asked him to make sure his robe was closed properly, he and his girlfriend continued to do as they wished. This made for some uncomfortable morning dining.

Gonana was a beautiful place to stay; a pleasant surprise - even nicer than pics show on this site. Beautiful and comfortable. The staff was friendly and pleasant. Breakfast was quite nice as well, with amazing views!

Beautiful location on the beach with amazing views from the guesthouse. The breakfast was generous and delicious. We were able to organize a private yoga session on the beach which was absolutely lovely.

Pool area is small and in the entrance area, not making it very attractive or relaxing. We didn't make great use of it since we were staying only 24h but I can imagine this can be an issue if you stay longer. Bedrooms are below the lounge area, so it becomes very noisy whenever people are there (especially early in the morning when they go for breakfast). A bit overpriced for South Africa and Cape town area in general, but worth spending one night!

Guesthouse faces the sea, with breathtaking views and sunset from the lounge area and terrace. Our bedroom was facing the sea, special to see it from your window when you wake up in the morning, with direct access to the beach. Our second bedroom didn't face the sea and offered a total different experience, really recommend to pay a bit more for it! Everything was very clean with nice vibe. Service was impeccable, with smooth check-in and welcome, staff is very professional and has particular sense of detail (which is not the case everywhere in Cape town area). Even before you arrive, they reach out to you with many recommendations and activities to book in advance (I recommend as it quickly becomes fully booked). Breakfast has a great variety of products and offers a very complete buffet. Guesthouse also has a snacks and drinks bar you can purchase from at any time making it very convenient.

We loved our stay at Gonana guesthouse! It has a very special location directly at the beach, overlooking it when having breakfast and also spotting dolphins . It is very nicely designed and the staff is amazing. Thank you so much!

Great location

Super and quiet location within the town just by the beach, you have direct access to the beach from the house and we could hear and see the ocean from our room. Breakfast is very good and great views from the terrace where you eat. Also people working at the hotel are very nice.

When the house is full, it is quite noisy. We didn't enjoy communal dining for breakfast.

It is right on the beach in a beautiful, quiet bay. The views from the living area are spectacular. The house is beautifully decorated. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. The neighbourhood is quaint and quiet and there are many good restaurants around.

We could hear the footsteps of the guests upstairs at night time. It was quite loud and it affected our sleep at times.

Lovely property, loved the decor and vibe, beautifully maintained.
