Excellent gem
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. I would recommend this to any traveler and they will be seeing us again in the future.

Beautiful views of the mountains, and very close to excellent hiking at Kogelberg Reserve. Katarina is a fabulous hostess, and her lodge is perfectly clean, comfortable, and convenient. Highly recommended.

Lovely guest house excellent decor, stylish and modern but tucked away in a quiet spot with amazing views. Katherina was very welcoming and attentative to all our needs including my awkward dietary requirements. 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.

Lovely hotel and great views of Kogelberg mountains
The hotel was more than comfortable with great views. Anita and Derek were delightful hosts and breakfast was super. Pringle bay was a little quiet and I wouldn't recommend it to spend time in, but as a stopover on the garden route this was ideal.

African Chic
What fabulous staff and owners! Personal service at all times, made us feel like long lost friends. Nothing was too much effort. WOW! Beautiful decor that wasn't over the top. The natural fynbos grounds are extensive and filled with bird life, including fish eagles which we heard early one morning. With the guest house being so close to main road access, we were suprised to find the rooms and overall facility rather quite. Derrick, Sarita and Lisa were warm and welcoming and Lisa made breakfast time most enjoyable.

Friendly and helpful hosts. Comfortable stay with a relaxed vibe on the whale watching coast near to penguin colony in bettys bay and town/beach of pringle bay. Set in large grounds with great views. Kids loved the friendly dogs too. Turn is signed off main road - Google maps and garmin satnav lodgings category both locate this incorrectly about 1km away.
