During our trip on the Garden Route, we wanted to go sharkdiving, so we intended to pass by Hermanus. However, upon finding Benguela on Booking, we decided to pass by Gansbaai instead. What a great choice that was! We could book a sharkdiving experience via a recommendation of the hotel and had a wonderful stay too: (i) our room had a pool view and was spacious, (ii) the property lies in a very quiet neighbourhood, so although the pool lies next to a road, there is no noise as there is no traffic, (iii) the owner Jonathan is an excellent host that manages to find a good balance between his guests’ privacy and the social angle and (iv) the dinner he cooked for us and the rest of the guests was excellent - it was also a nice experience to meet some of the other guests and hear about their backgrounds and travels. We would definitely recommend!

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.

What a great place! Spacious room, very nicely decorated and with everything you need. An enjoyable addition was a pretty set of candles which could be used at the balcony to create romantic atmosphere. Everything very clean, spotless sheets and towels. We felt completely spoiled. Breakfast was not only delicious but also looked like a piece of art. We had to leave early to the airport the second time so we got the best breakfast package we have ever had.

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.

Although sadly we weren't able to meet Nicola as her son was unwell, she was an excellent host, giving us clear communications via WhatsApp. We had gone to Gansbaai to shark cage dive, & when our operator was unable to sail, Nicola was able to secure us places on another boat, which we were very grateful for, as we were only in Gansbaai for one day. She also upgraded us to their premium suite which she did not have to do, but it was a lovely touch.

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.

The Breakfast was exceptional. Best rusks! The view is just amazing. And the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel manager allowed us to park our motor bikes in the garage out of the rain, so accommodating, we really appreciate it.
