A 5-Star Experience

“Jonathan is an incredible host. We have never had such a warm welcome: from helping is find the right golf course and arranging a bottle of wine to bring along to the most amazing dinner we could imagine. We did not expect a 5 course star worthy dinner when he asked us if we liked to join for dinner!! A well-kept secret. The hotel is simply amazing: if you love extravagance and art, while waking up with a stunning view of the ocean, this is the place! ” Simone (Netherlands)

Living and eating like friends. We found a very special and fantastic accommodation for our trip to Gansbaai and De Kelders. Jonathan and his team were very friendly, kind and made ery effort that we had a wonderful and nice stay there. The best is the personalised treatment from the owner. In the evening you can have a delicious dinner at his dining room. At a long table with maximum 16 persons. The bedrooms are clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was made with love and if you want, you could eat in bed. The view to the sea is very nice and the pool is also clean and inviting you for a swim. All in all, we were very lucky to be there and had such a unique accommodation.”

The best stay in all of South Africa I travelled around SA and Benguela is top of my list for places to stay. The view from the bedroom was amazing, the hosts were extraordinary and made me feel special – breakfast in bed on Christmas morning was the icing on the cake. Christmas dinner was out of this world- food is insanely good!!! Thank you xx”
