The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

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.

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.

What a warm welcome we had from the owner Johannes, safe parking, room has everything in that you need and very clean. Owner was very helpful with recommending places to lunch etc. Breakfast was one for the books, freshly made and absolutely delicious, especially the scrambled eggs. Will definitely book again if we go down to Gansbaai. Wonderful stay we had, thank you Johannes, much appreciated.

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.
