During our trip on the Garden Route, we wanted to go sharkdiving, so we intended to pass by Hermanus. However, upon finding Benguela on Booking, we decided to pass by Gansbaai instead. What a great choice that was! We could book a sharkdiving experience via a recommendation of the hotel and had a wonderful stay too: (i) our room had a pool view and was spacious, (ii) the property lies in a very quiet neighbourhood, so although the pool lies next to a road, there is no noise as there is no traffic, (iii) the owner Jonathan is an excellent host that manages to find a good balance between his guests’ privacy and the social angle and (iv) the dinner he cooked for us and the rest of the guests was excellent - it was also a nice experience to meet some of the other guests and hear about their backgrounds and travels. We would definitely recommend!

The view from the breakfast room is unbeatable. The hosts, Gideon and Gill, attend to every need and are passionately dedicated to ensuring their guests have the very best time. Gideon provided me with so many tips about interesting things to do locally and further afield in the Western Cape. The breakfast was divine and food orders very flexible with a large choice of options. The lodge’s employed staff were amazing. Cliff Lodge a great place to relax, unwind, find inner peace and appreciate the vastness of the sea.

Breathtaking views, super spacious bedroom and bathroom (with double shower heads and a bath tub). Location was ideal for shark diving and away from the busier streets of Gansbaai, which made it more relaxing. Hosts were exceptional, providing great recommendations and service. Would definitely return.

Nicola and her husband were absolutely fantastic, and both the kids wished we were staying an extra day as they loved the cottage. Close to the harbour and the restaurant with Marine Dynamics were outstanding. My son was not well so with my daughter we went on the shark cage experience, staff assured us he would be looked after and they did. Happy man when we came back. Stay in the Guest House, speak to Nicola first top get a good rate on the shark experience as well as being very hospitable. Thank you.

Our stay was magical, the location is magical! The property is right in front of the socean, we could hear the waves all the time and spot whales from our terrace. It is right on top of this beautiful path you can take along the coast. The property is not affected by loadshedding. As a family with three small children we felt welcomed. The owners are really nice people.

It's a very big and comfortable place. Ideal for a family with two children and excellent for couples. Lihandri and his wife were incredibly welcoming and they were always willing to help and give us advice on what to see or do in the area. The place is exactly as shown in the pictures and perfectly clean and tidy. We'd definitely go back! Thanks for the wonderful stay!
