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!

During our trip on the Garden Route, we wanted to go sharkdiving, so we intended to pass by Hermanus. However, upon finding Benguela on Booking, we decided to pass by Gansbaai instead. What a great choice that was! We could book a sharkdiving experience via a recommendation of the hotel and had a wonderful stay too: (i) our room had a pool view and was spacious, (ii) the property lies in a very quiet neighbourhood, so although the pool lies next to a road, there is no noise as there is no traffic, (iii) the owner Jonathan is an excellent host that manages to find a good balance between his guests’ privacy and the social angle and (iv) the dinner he cooked for us and the rest of the guests was excellent - it was also a nice experience to meet some of the other guests and hear about their backgrounds and travels. We would definitely recommend!

Amazing location and lovely guesthouse. Watched the whales move slowly through Walker Bay whilst having breakfast on the balcony! Klipgat Caves and beach walk/hikes also very close by. Gansbaai a couple of km’s away. Superior King room was as pictured with private balcony. Tanya was a welcoming and efficient host.

    Gansbaai was a comfortable city with spectacular views where our family explored the southern coast of South Africa. We discovered hidden beaches, spotted many beautiful Protea flowers, sunbathed on Pearly Beach, went to the fish market in the harbor at Gansbaai, lunched on butter chicken and fish and chips at the Blue Goose, restaurant on Hoop St, hiked Klipgat Caves at the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, glimpsed a pod of orcas, and a mother Southern Right whale and her calf, spotted three of the Marine Big 5, dined at the White House, saw Danger Point lighthouse along a four wheel drive track along the beach, found crazy amounts of beautiful shells on the beach. It was an epic adventure.

    This a relatively small hotel but beautifully appointed. The property is in a very good location, in a gated development and a beautiful setting overlooking the sea. The bedroom was very comfortable. The restaurant provided an excellent range of wonderfully cooked food, so we ate in both nights. The staff were exceptional. I can’t remember ever meeting (in a hotel) such a friendly and happy group.

    The house was very clean, very modern and had all the facilities that you need. There is a braai on the front stoep and one at the back. The facilities were excellent and you are within walking distance of everything in Gansbaai. I would stay here again.
