Reviewed Feb 22, 2025Fantastic gem of a place, loved staying here and would happily re book on another trip. Anel was extremely helpful and the stay added to the SA experience

Reviewed Mar 5, 2023Wunderschönes Hotel mit toller Aussicht und einem freundlichen Personal, die keine Wünsche offen lassen. Wir kommen in jedem Fall wieder

Reviewed Dec 1, 2019Die Zimmer sind eher klein und der Stauraum fehlt. Aus der Duschbrause kam nur sehr spärlich Wasser und die WC-Spülung funktionierte nicht richtig. Die Badewanne ist zwar hübsch inszeniert, aber reinsetzen würd ich mich nie (‚dreckig‘, angewetzt). Das Zimmer & das Haus allgemein ist sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Aussicht traumhaft. Das Frühstück war okay. Frische Eierspeisen köstlich, allerdings war die Käse/Fleischplatte zum bedienen sehr spärlich und total unappetitlich angerichtet. Verglichen mit all den anderen Guesthouses/B&B die wir besucht haben, ist im Sea Star der Preis viel zu hoch. Wir werden nicht mehr kommen.

Reviewed Nov 17, 2018Modernes supertoll eingerichtetes Haus, zimmer eher klein, wenig stauraum für gepäck. Tolles Frühstück, nettes personal. Abends ist man auf ein auto angewiesen um essen zu gehen. Wenig Auswahl meist nur mit tischreservierung

Reviewed Mar 12, 2018We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. The staff were amazing, especially - Blessed, who made our stay very special. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the master suite, which was beyond words. So much detail has been put into every aspect of this beautiful bed and breakfast. If you are looking for a quiet and romantic spot, boasting charm and hospitality - this is the place! Will be back to stay for sure.

Reviewed Feb 2, 2015Die Bilder im Internet Versprechen mehr als man bekommt. Für die gebotene Qualität zu teuer.

Reviewed Nov 7, 2014Das Hotel liegt in der zweiten Reihe , wenn man Glück hat bekommt man auch ein Zimmer wo man das Meer sehen kann . Das Haus könnte schön sein, ist aber schon sehr abgeschnuddelt verglichen mit anderen Hotels auf unserer Liste das schlechteste. Wir waren 3 Wochen in Südafrika und haben die gartenroute gemacht.
8/10
Reviewed Sep 30, 2014We arrived to the hotel very tired, and were received by Clarissa, the owner of the guest house, who received us very well and warmly. She was very kind and helped us a lot to get around to get something to eat and to book our activities in the surrounding areas. The hotel and room was clean, with a very nice shared living room that has a nice and relaxing view. The room itself is very small and has no door in the bathroom, and just a glass door for the actual toilet, which made things somewhat uncomfortable, since I had to ask my wife to leave the room when I needed to "go" (and vice versa). The hotel is in a residential area, far away from any restaurants and without easy access to the beach. You'll need a car by all means. Having said this, our stay was very pleasent, the hotel is very nice and friendly, and the breakfast is great to get you going.

Reviewed Sep 26, 2014Service gut, viele Tipps bekommen, allerdings haben Managerin u Angestellte vor Gästen über Trinkgelder diskutiert. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob es sich schickt. Und das "DZ" war nicht mehr als ein'EZ", kein Kühlschrank ausblick gut
10/10
Reviewed Jan 22, 2014Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt. Toller Empfang durch Clarissa mit einem Glas Wein. Sehr persönliche Atmosphäre. Netter Tip fürs Abendessen. Zimmer etwas klein mit wenig Abstellmöglichkeiten. Für 1-2 Nächte aber ausreichend. Es gibt auch größere Zimmer in der Lodge gegen einen kleinen Aufpreis.

Reviewed Mar 7, 2011Very much enjoyed our 2 night stay here - it felt like our own private villa at times. Very convenient for shark cage diving at Gansbaai and the most amazing beach just 5 mins away. Maxy the dog is wonderful - we were tempted to take him with us!
10/10
Reviewed Mar 3, 2011The accommodation really is fantastic and worth it's 5 star rating. Great views from the balcony and lounge and an amazing massage chair in the fitness section. The warmth and friendliness of Ardi (the owner) and his staff made our stay an exceptional experience, their message to us was clear... "make yourselves at home and do not hesitate to ask should you require anything". We would definitely stay again.
