Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs SB from N London

"Great location, sorry we did not take up 'wine tasting' opportunities here. Lovely friendly breakfast service.

Ate evening meal one night in restaurant - most impressed by oral presentation of all menu options. Delicious food"

"The most luxurious room ever!

Watching whales from our bedroom!

Recommend the bookshop in Hermanus too."

"sorry only time for one night here. Excellent treatment. Enjoyed being the only guests (good for us, probably not so good for them)
The next day was the only heavy rain we had (good for them not so good for us!) on our trip.

The Bontebok Reserve was a Joy too - well worth the visit."

"We were treated like honoured guests and really enjoyed ourselves - again (lucky perhaps?) only guests for these 2 nights.
Jans and Almeri made excellent hosts.

Enjoyed seeing the country and the school initiative.

Had a great walk here too."

"Fantastic self catering accommodation beside wonderful, unexpected, restaurant.

The view from our chalet too was marvellous. The restaurant here was well patronised - didn't see anyone doing their own catering while we were there! - no need.

The walking and bird watching opportunities here were well worth the drive to get there."

"Wow to the balcony of our room here - with a view of a London Routemaster Bus!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Victorian splendour of this hotel"

"Arrived late afternoon and were booked into too 'upmarket' a restaurant - unfortunate misunderstanding probably.
Found a great 'pub' for 2nd evening's meal.

Room here too was beautiful, spacious and great views.
Enjoyed the opportunity of walking to a wine tasting session."

"The largest place we stayed in on our long trip. But very friendly (all seemed very young!) staff.

Very good location to get to the West Coast National Park , where we spent all of the 2 days we had ... That was awesome. Great restaurant there too, where we enjoyed cake and watching weaver birds. But the hides were the highlight - flamingos, egrets, stilts, plus all 'waders' as the tide went in and out.

Hotel PS - large portions - even with an appetite, managing the starter and main course at the hotel was tricky!"

"We really enjoyed the location, We were unfortunate with our experience in Cederberg mountains - Plans, tried twice, for planned walks fell through, however this venue, friendliness and helpfulness [hosts were great] made that disappointment not so important.

The breakfasts in the garden were a joy.
Particularly liked The Bath!

Plus close proximity to Lamberts Bay , the Gannet colony and restaurant recommendation a bonus."

"We enjoyed this lovely location, another beautiful room. Cars parked in 'bay' for each room.

Dining room (a choice of 2!) for breakfast was comfortable, light, pleasant.
Dinner recommendation on main road also great experience - shop, restaurant, tourist info!

Felt well set up and rested for the drive next day to Augrabies.
Also would recommend going to Goegap Nature Reserve while in Springbok. - had to cram that into a half day, but could have spent longer there."

"The comparison with our Karoo self catering chalet left this one behind.

Although the location is wonderful, with a view out over the fascinating rocks, the facilities for self catering were best for BBQ (as Brits, not geared up for that) and our one meal (dinner / breakfast) in the restaurant here made us realise why it was not patronised much.

Comment on the 'Dassie Trail' billed as 'easy' entailed climbing over some rather large rocks as well as a few tricky balancing acts. But we enjoyed our walk as we'd started by 7.00 am and just finished it before heat of day."

"Beautiful location. Driving down dusty street looking for the hotel, and were whisked into cool interior, Rooms laid out round courtyard with fountain and palm trees!

We also enjoyed going to Naute Dam after leaving the next morning. Spent a quiet morning there with refreshments supplied by pleasant English couple - great way to spend the Sunday morning."

"We felt very welcome here. Host(ess) was obviously making genuine effort to make people feel at home.
Rooms comfortable.

Food at evening meal was Superb. All home cooked and home prepared. Ditto breakfast, with home made cheese as well as jam, etc.

We climbed the mountain here too - a high spot of our trip."

"We loved our 2 days and nights in the dunes of the Namib Naukluft.

Alex made a good guide, pleasant, knowledgeable, and very keen to share his love of the country and show us fauna and flora.

Eating and Sleeping under the stars is magical - a never to be forgotten experience."

"Very comfortable and spacious.
Good walking trails well marked. (we did not participate in any other 'activity')

Slightly non plussed at the 'additional charges' itemisation, even for 'afternoon tea/cake', which tended to spoil atmosphere."

"Great location for us. Although not on sea front, close to town centre, quiet street.

Very friendly service. and the Breakfasts were Superb."
