The interior design was just incredible, Jonathan did an amazing job with that and also was a wonderful host (and cook). If you have the chance book the dinner with him. Highlights recommended! Also the breakfast is something special to wake up to. And these are just the highlights all in all just an awesome beautiful place to stay

Reggie was a perfect host. We were made welcome, looked after properly, and had a superb dinner and perfect breakfast for our needs. The main room we were allocated was unbelievably well appointed with an amazing view. We look forward to a whale-watching re-visit in 2023. A stunning property and stay. Only praise for this establishment.

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.

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.

The location. It’s all about the location. Gansbaai itself is a nice little town; very peaceful and doesn’t feel too “touristy”. The view from the large balcony is amazing. Garage to park your car. Comfortable bedrooms. Lots of shared space. Indoor and outdoor brais.
