- From US$138.96 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 371 reviewsThe owner did such a good job at this farm, amazing. His service was impeccable and fast. Why can't more places on earth be as tranquil as this? The Braai/breakfast baskets...the donkeys...the herb & fruit garden... the lily pond... feeding the chickens... what is not to love? We did taco night on Sunday at a nearby restaurant which was adorable, with live music. We then had the Braai basket; The meat is insane, and so is the wildlife and the stars. The bed is giant and comfy, the breakfast is fantastic. The pool is great, the botchi ball finishes it off. Insanely good stay. Just wonderful. PS: The donkeys love apples from the garden. Having them just right out of your backyard was fantastic.Guest review byKoenNetherlands
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Superb - What previous guests thought, 540 reviewsQuite simply one of the most comfortable, lovely stays I have had within South Africa or the world.

Living room with fireplace and furniture to sink into for a conversation, good book, glass or wine or coffee and a conversation. Breakfast was outstanding and tailored to every diners needs. Stroll along the beach afterwards soul enriching. Will definitely be back again. Stay here. Enjoy!Guest review byAllanaCanada

The surrounding is just overwhelming beautiful. If you wanna wind down, enjoy the ocean, take a walk and have a beautiful home, than this is your choice. Gideon and his team do everything to make you feel at home. In the evening there are fabulous restaurants to chose from. The breakfast on the terrace makes everyday just perfect. Thank you. We will be back.😍Guest review bySandraGermany
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 20 reviewsThe 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!Guest review byMatthewSouth Africa
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 73 reviewsOur stay was magical, the location is magical! The property is right in front of the socean, we could hear the waves all the time and spot whales from our terrace. It is right on top of this beautiful path you can take along the coast. The property is not affected by loadshedding. As a family with three small children we felt welcomed. The owners are really nice people.Guest review byEgleLithuania

Going there at the end of September allowed to enjoy great weather and an opportunity to see whales during the start of the whale season. The city was not very busy during the week, but weekend it gets busier than usual. We had the Grotto beach all to ourselves from the morning, midday the sun is very hot during Spring or summer, thus a good time to head for some lunch at nearby resturants to enjoy ocean meals or popular flame grilled meat. The neighbourhood is calm and suitable to walk around in Hermanus centre.Guest review byThapeloSouth Africa - 10.0
The penguin rehabilitation centre was excellent.
The penguin rehabilitation centre was excellent. The harbour is not tourist friendly. If you come to Gansbaai you would love to eat take away fish, But Saturday ,late afternoon no fish and chips were openGuest review byBoshoff - 10.0

Kleinmond is a fantastic holiday destination to rest and explore the beauty of nature. The combination of sea, lagoon, mountains and fynbos as well as many pathways along the coast with longer hiking trails make Kleinmond a true gem of nature. Lovely coffee shops, restaurants and small shops make this coastal town very special. There are many activities for families - kayaking, hiking, swimming etc. Superb views and very well connected to nature.Guest review byMarietteSouth Africa - 10.0
Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village.
Stanford is a quaint, peaceful and very beautiful Village. It offers the chance to rekindle your oneness with nature and explore the beauty of the surrounding countryside and Reserves. Stanford offers a unique shopping experience, which seemingly encourages a more relaxed, ambient pastime. We were very privileged to be able to dine at Madre's, an iconic restaurant with food to match, a gastronomic experience in itself. There appears to be annual shows held in the town, those being the Flower Show and the Motor Shows, both of which appear to attract great interest from locals and holidaymakers alike. A beautiful and very special town, with its very own personality and charm.Guest review byCatharine ViceUnited Kingdom - 10.0
Easy to access any beach.
Easy to access any beach. We enjoyed Buitesteen Restaurant and Marietjies Pub in Baardskeerdersbos. It is a must for every visitor. We enjoyed walking from Franskraal to Uilenkraalmond. It feels very safe to be in De Kelders.Guest review byTILANA RETIEFSouth Africa - 8.0
Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town.
Bettys Bay is a charming little coastal town. I think its perfect for tourists and locals if you are looking for a laid back breakaway. Its quite easy to get around and find different places of interest. We enjoyed visiting the Stony Point Penguin Colony. We spotted quite a number of birds. There are lovely trails for short hikes on the mountainside. The beach is wonderful with white soft sand. The water is quite cold though.Guest review byLorettaSouth Africa - 10.0
It is a very peaceful village with a lovely beach.
It is a very peaceful village with a lovely beach. I was there off season which was perfect as coming in summer must be hectic. Met very helpful people from the pharmacy, the small supermarket and the laundry lady. Excellent restaurant - The Cork Eatery! Very nice owner and very good food. Enjoyed a lovely meal. Beach is beautiful but I may have gone to the wrong entrance as a bit of a trek to the sea but well worth it. Big plus - pet friendly area.Guest review byKathrynSouth Africa - 8.0
