Clean and basic.
Very peacwfull
I liked everything about this B&B
Lovely breakfast .
Bella camera spaziosa, pulita, silenziosa ed autonoma
Necessaria auto perché distante dal paese
Everything was exceptional
The smoking does affect the other rooms
Stayed in a double bed room, with all you need for overnight stay or base to explore from if you'll be eating offsite. Comfortable, with aircon, bar fridge and coffee making facility.
Good value for money
Other tennants were loud and noisy. Didnt respect other tennants. Owner also didnt make them aware of the "no noise" after 10pm.
Nice modern B&B with no issues
Location Clean Comfortable The owner Me Willie -A true gentleman and very hospitable
Parking ? Stairways …but was great view from the bedroom in any event which made up ..
Good place to stay for a stop over in Gansbaai. Friendly staff who are keen to help out and offer advice. Nice clean room and comfortable bedding. A good view of the ocean from our balcony.
It was all okay, but if you don’t want to stay in a house where the owners live or mind thin walls where you can hear the neighbours then it might not be the best choice. Fine for a short stay though.
The breakfast was good and the location was really nice
what they do at the moment is excellent so geek up the good work
The owners were very nice.
The breakfast sausages were way too small
We didn’t have breakfast
Towels were a little sour
I enjoyed the breakfast. I would have like a bit off fine fresh fruit with the yoghurt.
The pictures om Booking.com showed beautiful sea view. We had very little sea view from our unite.
Perfect stay for a visit to Gansbaai
Good location, friendly staff and quite and peaceful I would recommend it
Eramos em 3, a agua quente acabou no meio do 3º banho. O ar condicionado não estava funcionando, chegamos pra fazer check-in, o anfitrião nem estava sabendo da reserva, tivemos que ficar esperando pra "arrumarem" nosso quarto. Na hora do pagamento, no aplicativo falava que no local poderia ser pago com cartão, mas não tinha maquina de cartão no lugar, no outro dia pela manhã precisei passar os dados do meu cartão para o local fazer a cobrança.
Nothing
The rooms reeked like cigarettes, dogs and dirty feet -even though the rooms were non smoking rooms. Thankfully we arrived late and we were there only to sleep. We chose not to stay for breakfast out of fear of that experience and left as soon as we can the next morning.
Location and facilities
Old style
The place was quiet and peaceful. The host was very friendly and even shared their stories and encounter abroad. Breakfast was delicious. Thumbs up for every one. Will definitely come next time. We will surely sell the place to friends and families❤️
Nothing
Clean, aircon and comfy bed. Safe area
Guesthouse, so you book a room, not 100% private as people walk pass. You have breakfast all together at one table
Everything l was excellent
Nothing
Everything was superb

Nothing everything was great
Good breakfast 😋
Very good apartament and place
Wonderful hosts, lovely large rooms, great location
It was all amazing: the staff, the rooms, the breakfast, I recommend you to go there!
A very interesting host and made me feel at home. Than you both I had. A wonderful stay. Will be back Kevin xx
Nothing
Location was good Reception was friendly Bedding and bathroom was properly cleaned Airconditioning was nice
The coffee at the breakfast kept making skim The butter at the breakfast had a smell
We couldn’t try because we couldn’t sleep there
We couldn’t stay at this place because Booking.com didn’t book the place for us. The place was booked twice.
Honesty bar
Guest access from outside stairs too cramped. Having breakfast in the owners living room. Electricity can trip, most likely too many things on a single line. We slept without AC on a warm night.
Very good breakfast. Room was serviced every day and was spotless
Stairs were difficult to take suitcases up. We are in our 70's
Location little bit far from Supermarkets
Plugs trippped at 22:00 and stayed off untill 08:00 the following morning Informed Management per wapp but did not respond.
Breakfast was nice
The hostes was rude and denied us use of the aircan. There was no fan to use as alternative.
The owners are fantastic people and the stay was wonderful and peaceful. I will defnitily stay there again.
Nothing. Everything was wonderful and clean
Een wat gedateerde B&B, maar alles prima voor elkaar! Zeer vriendelijke en belangstellende eigenaren. De eigenaresse heeft een perfect ontbijt gemaakt!
Their hospitality was so warming.
The bed was very big and comfortable and we appreciated the aircon. It was peaceful and safe. I apprecited fresh milk for tea instead of long life box milk.
The overall look and feel is not as nice as the photos. It felt awkward eating breakfast at their dining table - it felt like being in someone's home in an odd way, not very homey and relaxed. Mostly we didn't appreciate the racist comments that were made as we were about to depart.
The owners have two small dogs, and be aware if you are allergic
Lovely hosts Willi and wife, nice room, comfortable bed, very good breakfast, convenient location to beach and harbour
N/A
A side entrance to a lovely room. Large space, great shower and clean room
No back up light for load shedding or candles so we relied on phone battery. A bit unnerving when you don’t know the place but I understand it happens
This was my second stay at the Bnb, first stay was about a month ago. The rooms are so clean and owners are so friendly it is quickly becoming my home away from home. Thankyou to the owners for being so accommodating toward my family and I
The rooms was clean and the owners are very accommodating and friendly.
30 mins drive from Hermanus. We saw about 10 whales relaxing and breaching in the local bay -some very close in - and none when in Hermanus. Willy was an excellent host. Omelette breakfast recommended. The Oby Dick pub restaurant is 5 mins drive away and we recommend it too.
comfortable bed, good sized room, well stocked honesty bar and strong wifi
very thin walls especially onto the corridor so you can hear other guests very clearly
great comfortable bed and real friendly hosts. Nice continental breakfast.
Loved my stay at Blougans B&B.
I booked 3 nights at blougans. The first thing I noticed upon my arrival was a pervasive smell of stale smoke. Fortunately the room itself did not smell - although I learned that when using the bathroom I had to make sure a window was open otherwise the extractor fan would draw the stale smoke under the door. I had been looking forward to using the jacuzzi shown in the photos on account of my physical aches and the cold weather, but it was covered over and out of service. The lounge/bar area was also uninviting due to the stink of old smoke. I passed some of my time on the balcony reading, sitting on an uncomfortably hard chair with a view mainly of neighbouring properties, the sea and mountains in the distance. Tea and rusks were provided in the room which was a nice touch. The bed was reasonably comfortable but quite creaky. Breakfast was passable - the eggs and toast were nice, the cheap sweetened yoghurt and instant coffee were not great. After one night/morning I decided to cut my losses, made an excuse and left. While driving home, I received a call from the host about a problem with my payment. I had already paid in advance on booking.com and said I would take a look when I got home. Back home I exchanged several calls, whatsapps and emails with the hosts who were saying that my payment had initially cleared and then was declined. From the emails they forwarded to me it looked like they had just tried to draw twice from the payment merchant; in any case the amount they were questioning was the total booking value not the discounted price that I had actually paid the previous day. Meanwhile they were accusing me of cancelling my card and threatening to take this to the police. I'm assuming that this was an honest mistake and misunderstanding on the part of the hosts, but after a disappointing stay it left a sour taste. Needless to say I won't be going back.
