Reviewed Dec 28, 2025The property is truly magical and enchanting. The location is outstanding. The rooms are beautifully appointed. The Lapa offers comfortable seating and an indoor or outdoor eating area with well stocked kitchen, gas stove and very generous fridge space. Tania and Alan are the most warm, generous, thoughtful and attentive hosts I have ever had the good fortune to encounter. I could easily have stayed there triple the ten days we had there. Thank-you Tania and Alan!!!!

The ONLY thing we didn't like was that the sofa bed mattress was very thin, but it is understandable for a fold out couch.

Reviewed May 5, 2025This accommodation was a very pleasant surprise! It is tucket away among trees that must have been there for decades which made it feel if one is in the middle of a forest. Because of its location (away from the beach - where we usually stay), we saw, and got to appreciate, a completely different part of Gqebergha that we probably would never have experienced. The reception by Alan was very welcoming. And during our stay, the Tania even asked if she can provide us with a heater, or anything else that we may need. That was very kind of Tania in my opinion. All I can say is: stay at L'auberge - you will not be disappointed!
There was nothing to dislike.
