“הבית היה מצוין לעצירה ללילה אחד. אהבנו את השקט והמיקום ובעלת הבית היתה מאוד ידידותית ואדיבה. המליצה על מקום מעולה לקפה של בוקר עם מאפים מצוינים. נשמח לחזור בפעם הבאה.”

A separate structure with two bedrooms was erected adjacent to a main Rondawel. Each bedroom has a private entrance which leads onto a garden. The rooms are standard with each an en-suite shower/basin/toilet. The guest rooms are great for sleep in, eat out. Parking is close to the rooms, on the property.
Guests can experience our lovely coastal town and all it has to offer. The guest’s privacy will be respected at all times.
69 on Ingang is in a quiet neighbourhood, a stroll away from the coastal path and water. A cafe is a few steps away. Gansbaai town is 2/3 km away with many great restaurants. Come and Enjoy the lovely sunsets!
