    Everything good.

    Extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful staff. Large spacious rooms and living areas kept in a very clean condition. The best accommodation in town for anyone shark diving or holidaying.

    Stayed here as doing a Shark Cage dive which the lovely Nicola at the guest house also arranged for us. Perfect position for the dive and the fabulous restaurant apposite. Comfy spacious bedroom and a nice touch was the honesty box in the communal area for wine/beer. Great decor throughout. Really enjoyed our stay. Also the 2 ladies in the morning were very friendly and kind to us. Would highly recommend!

    A gem of a guest house! The hosts are incredible - kind, helpful, hospitable, detailed, personable. I booked 2 rooms and both were spacious and inviting. The guest house has nice common areas perfect for reading or hanging out, and breakfast was delicious - fresh and plentiful. All around, great value for $$.

    There is nothing I could point to

    Very helpful and kind experience at a beautiful guest house. Helped with last minute dinner reservation for a large group many of whom were staying at another location. Accommodating by providing access to room for shower after diving and held breakfast. We would definitely have been happy to stay longer and it's on our list of places we would return to if in the area. We would absolutely recommend this guest house.

    I stayed for a night. I did not see any nice beaches nearby within walking distance. I did not explore much and might have missed it.

    the bedrooms were big with big attached bathrooms. It was very close to the shark diving tour meeting points. It served my purpose well. There is a restaurant right opposite that has an excellent menu. The place felt very safe.

    Nothing!

    This place is a little gem and we are so glad we made a last minute decision to stay here! We wanted to do a boat trip in Gansbaai and as it’s a long day trip from Cape Town we decided to extend our trip. Nicola was extremely friendly and welcoming from when we made our booking, contacting us with travel information and directions. She also made some dinner reservations for us and her restaurant recommendation was superb . We got a very warm welcome on arrival, the guest house is delightful and we were really comfortable there. Everything we needed was provided, in a beautiful setting. Next day, we were provided a lovely breakfast before we set off on our boat trip. We were permitted to leave our bags and car, for collection when we were finished. Nicola also gave us some advice on places to visit nearby and we enjoyed the rest of the day in the area. We wish we had spent longer there! This place is lovely and the host is so kind and accommodating.

    The water pressure of the shower sprayer is a little bit small, and the length of the sprayer is quite short, can only take a shower while sitting.

    Excellent sea view and wonderful feasility, the hospitality of the landlord is very charming and the room is definitely quite worth the price, unforgettable experience!
