Everything was incredible about this property from the minute we stepped into the main door I was swept away and in awe. The official pictures don’t do it justice and we were so pleasantly surprised by the beauty. It was the best place we’ve stayed so far in our SA trip, and even after coming from some places that we would have thought to be hard to beat. The view is jaw dropping, it’s so peaceful, and all of the staff especially the owner is so generous and kind!!! Truly amazing and feel so lucky to have come across this wonder! Wish we could have stayed longer. Best sunsets too. We had the private guest cottage which gave really nice privacy, spotlessly clean, nice amenities and super comfortable. Just book it, you will have no regrets. If it could be 11/10 it would be

The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

All five-star hotels in Gansbaai

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    Booking at the Lodge was value for money. The rooms were exactly as is on the website. The room was luxurious with beautiful views of the sea. Excellent service from Carol the Manager and Sinazo the chef. They made our stay as a couple a beautiful and memorable one.

    Superb location - best views. Along with another couple we took over the two penthouse room / suite - this gave us an enormous rooftop area to move sunbeds / chairs and watch the sunset in complete privacy. Rooms were spacious and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff extremely friendly. Good breakfast. Quiet location (in January! Not sure so quiet in whale watching season?) Recommend pre booking local restaurants as very few within a 20 minute drive.

    Out of this world experience! From the moment we arrived at this luxury boutique lodge, we were greeted by attentive staff who made us feel right at home. Every penny spent was well worth it for the exceptional service and experience. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

    Our hosts and their staff were wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will return again in the future. We have already recommended it to our friends. Our room was superb and the meals including breakfast were 5 star. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Next time we will stay longer!!
