Dion and Linda are absolutely amazing. Our stay was fantastic. It had everything we needed and more. The views were stunning. Linda thought of everything down to the last detail. It's a shame we didn't see any whales, but that's a minor detail. We were thrilled to be in such a welcoming place. Dion is a true chef. Breakfast was incredible. We will definitely be back. Dion and Linda, thank you. Sincerely, Victor and Elena

Gansbaai was a comfortable city with spectacular views where our family explored the southern coast of South Africa. We discovered hidden beaches, spotted many beautiful Protea flowers, sunbathed on Pearly Beach, went to the fish market in the harbor at Gansbaai, lunched on butter chicken and fish and chips at the Blue Goose, restaurant on Hoop St, hiked Klipgat Caves at the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, glimpsed a pod of orcas, and a mother Southern Right whale and her calf, spotted three of the Marine Big 5, dined at the White House, saw Danger Point lighthouse along a four wheel drive track along the beach, found crazy amounts of beautiful shells on the beach. It was an epic adventure.

We had the king suite, which is enourmous and has the best view on the bay with a lot of windows. The pictures don't do it justice. We also had Christmas dinner with amazing food and a good breakfast. The small indoor poor is also nice to just relax after arriving in the evening before dinner, especially in warm days. The place seems to be a personal home but also used for a hotel. So you have the extras people would only get for their own home like a nice bath, more cosy and comfortable rooms and just better quality.

Peaceful and quiet location in a guarded estate. Feels totally safe. Great new house with a nice decor. Just a quick walk to a private beach. There is also a small boutique hotel "Romansvilla" in the estate which offers breakfast, dinner or just a drink by the pool. Ernst and Nynke of Romansvilla are amazing people and so helpful. They recommended us a fatbike tour with their friend Dave through the Walker Bay Dunes, which was so amazing.

Beautiful little place with everything that you need. Chris the host is very friendly and helpful. The house is close to the beach and a short drive to Gansbaai. We liked that we had our own private entrance and own braai area. The accommodation is private from the main house. It never felt that we were on the same property as the host.

Breathtaking views, super spacious bedroom and bathroom (with double shower heads and a bath tub). Location was ideal for shark diving and away from the busier streets of Gansbaai, which made it more relaxing. Hosts were exceptional, providing great recommendations and service. Would definitely return.
