Outstanding Guesthouse. 😀

Katharina is a great hostess, she gave us some wonderful recommendations during our stay. Our room was very comfortable and clean, even a sheet to sleep under, not just a duvet. You could make your own coffee, tea or hot chocolate and there were water bottles in the fridge. Breakfast was wonderful as well. Delicious fresh fruit salad and a large selection of cooked and cold food. We would most certainly stay here again.

Toll, bis auf das Hundegebell

Eine “fast” perfekte Wohlfühl Unterkunft. Ein sehr schönes Zimmer mit tollen Ausblicken. Ein sehr gutes Bett, gut riechende schöne Handtücher. Das Bad mit Badewanne und wunderbarer Dusche und die Toilette separat. Dazu ein leiser, gut funktionierender Kühlschrank - alles richtig gut. Ich bin wirklich ein Hundefreund, mag aber nicht Nachts vom Bellen mehrfach gestört zu werden. Daher “nur” mein “fast” perfekt. Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft.....

An incredible stay which I can only sing praise about. Kat and Charl were incredible hosts - friendly, considerate and secretly Kat is an brilliant chef. The accommodation was lovely, with great attention to detail not to mention to the exquisite views that the rooms offered.

Would highly recommend staying here, close to the penguins but if you can drive to Hermanos for a chance to watch the whales!

Remote and beautiful

Sarita welcomed us warming and gave us advice immediately about trips and restaurants. She showed us to our room(the honeymoon suite) which was lovely. We were given lots of bottles of bubbly which was a nice touch. The local restaurant which Sarita booked for us,Bistro@365, was lovely,good variety and massive portions. The bed is uber comfortable and the bath a great size for a soak. We didn't have breakfast but Sarita was very sweet and suggested they could put food in the fridge in case we wanted it. During out stay we went to Bettys Bay for some penguin spotting and Hermanus for whale watching. Loved it. Hermanus is beautiful the coastlines to die for. We were sad to leave such a stunning guest house,with staff that really couldn't do enough. The dogs were gorgeous too!

best hotel ever

This was the most beautiful hotel I've ever visited. All rooms have huge glass door/window with wonderful view on the mountains and fynbos fields. Each room is isolated from another, so you can sit outside enjoying the sunset and relax. Room is very specious and designed in very unique style. Room and hotel is so calm and relaxing. Super nice stuff, tasty breakfast. Also have an "honesty bar" and board games for the evening. The only thing I did not like that I have to leave this place.

Einfach TRAUMHAFT

Dieses wunderschön zwischen Bettys Bay uns Pringle Bay gelegene Gästehaus hat uns super gut gefallen. Einfach traumhaft was da geschaffen wurde. Gastgeberin Anita versteht es mit ihrem Team mit viel Liebe zum Detail ihre Gäste zu verzaubern. Ob Begrüßungscocktail, die sehr geschmackvoll eingerichteten Zimmer, der Frühstücksraum oder die Dekoration, einfach toll, besser geht es nicht! Auch die, uns bisher nichtssagende Umgebung, hat sich als Volltreffer herausgestellt. Absolut sicher, traumhafte Strände, Berge zum Wandern und und und …, Natur zum Staunen. Falls es uns wieder mal nach Kapstadt verschlägt, kommen wir bestimmt wieder hier her. Nochmals vielen Dank für die wunderschönen 3 Tage!!! Anna, Steffi & Peter
