What a magical place, absolutely beautiful. Our family really enjoyed their stay. The accommodation was exceptional and the staff were friendly.
The property gives you the much needed tranquality and peace that one would long for.
It was like finding a hidden gem! Excitement, surprise and joy in all of our activities. Friendly and professional staff, clean and well equipped accommodation, beautiful location.
Loved the hikes and wildlife
Sal beslis weer gaan. Sal bly wees as daar spesiale aanbiedinge is Vir pensioenarisse Bo 65
Exceptional accommodation on a piece of paradise.
Everything was great, nothing not to like.
Everything
Short time we had to spend there
Amazing view from my cottage. A short walk to the rocky beach to catch a magnificent sunset. Not to mention the wildlife and flora. Saw eland and zebra and admired the vast fynbos species. The reserve provides great reference to learn more both within the cottage as well as on the trails.
I suspect my cottage recently had some renovation done. Lamps/chargers couldn’t be plugged in without moving the heavy bed.
Sehr ruhig schöne Lage mit Ausblick auf das Meer. Das Apartment war sehr gut ausgestattet, mit Grill, eine voll ausgestattet Küche.
Wir haben keine Kritik!
The Fisherman's House was comfortable and situated close to the shore. Newly renovated, everything was fresh and clean. The bedding luxurious and comfortable..
We really loved the location, the wildlife and fauna. The quietness and privacy of our stay was a bonus.

Very nice apartment in fantastic coastal nature reserve!
Prestine environ8ment. Nature walks, beach walks, lighthouse. Wedding Chapel/Conference facilities beautiful!
The location is unsurpassed. The cottage was newly renovated with a modern look and feel a lot of extras, like USB ports in the headboards. The window benches were really nice.
Suggestions, not dislikes: serving platters and snack bowls would be nice. We reported that the fan/light in the lounge did not work, but it wasn't fixed. I suspect it forms part of the snag list after the renovation.
Sehr gute Ausstattung der Ferienwohnung.Alles war sehr hochwertig und es fehlte nichts.Es gibt einen schönen Pool.
Es gab Schwierigkeiten bei der Einfahrt durch das Gate, weil uns der Code verspätet erreichte.Die Rezeptionistin konnte das nicht glauben.
Beautiful spot on the coast
Nothing
Stunning place overall
Our TV didnt work :(
Very helpfull staff. Moved us to another unit when our unit was only seperated by a door from the one next door.
Beautiful Reserve. Excellent staff. Stunning cottage and views. My new happy place.
Ons het nie ontbyt gekry nie. Dit was nie ingesluit nie. Al die fasiliteite was baie mooi, skoon en netjies.
Die grondpaadjies was nie in 'n baie goeie toestand nie. Daar kan meer aandag daaraan gegee word.
Helpful and friendly staff, excellent and clean location! The quietness and environment was good for the soul!!😊

Gourikwa was amazing, one of the best holiday we've had in South Africa. Accommodation is stunning, we could rest and enjoy nature.
Nothing
Beautiful location with view on the sea and indigenous vegetation. Kitchen was well-equipped, room was spacious and comfortable. Outside stoep and braai also had seaview.
Our unit was at the parking area, with the tenants at the other units moving up and down in front of our unit to get to their cars for unloading and uploading.
Beautiful location. Peaceful and quiet
If you are looking for great escape from the busy beach towns in the garden route, this is the place.
A hairdryer would be nice.
Kooigoed no 3 was perfect for the two of us. We loved the quiet and stillness. Loads to do and to explore
We had an incredible stay at Gourikwa Nature Reserve. Everything about this place is absolutely breathtaking — from the phenomenal views to the stunning natural surroundings. The amenities were lovely and thoughtfully done, making the stay comfortable and effortless. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect escape from everyday life, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the beauty around us. The experience was nothing short of magical — serene, beautiful, and unforgettable. We would happily stay here again and again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil, scenic getaway.
The one thing I would add to the room is a mini oven /microwave oven - rather than just a 2 plate stove and an ordinary microwave.
All was awesome THX

Everything about our stay was just perfect
Insecured and drive inside with a approchable reception lady to ask
Nothing and no complain at all
A lot of facilities
The peacefulness
Intermittent wifi. No hot water. Blinds not working properly.
Wunderschönes Quartier,absolut perfekt ausgestattet
Die Scenic-Route war nicht so unkompliziert mit einem normalen PKW zu befahren wie versprochen! Wir kamen nicht auf den ViewPoint!
The beautiful and peaceful environment

Gute Kücheneinrichtung
Great views and room that had most of what we needed. Staff were excellent and friendly. Whales were visible from the room..
The village is 1km from reception and unfortunately no restaurant facilities were available out of season. Coast road gate not operating unfortunately
Second time staying, and it is just a spectacular slice of heaven, will definitely be back and will definitely be staying longer.
We enjoyed our stay. The only negative issue was the weather, which nobody could control.
Nothing. Only the bad weather
We were booked in the fisherman cottages. Self catering which is nice. We liked the ocean right on our doorstep and spending time with our family angling.
Nothing.

Beautiful coastlines and nature drive .
No 2 point plugs in the rooms. We had to drive all the way to Stilbaai to get some. We could not charge our cameras. At least change the one in the kitchen please.
Very spacious. Good views. Private. Well equipped.
Everything was perfect. The reserve is pristine. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Good weather.
Friendly and helpfull staff
We were placed in a unit and the next day we have been transfered to another unit. The unit that we booked on booking.com and the unit that we received was not the same unit.

We need a longer braai tung
