The Mermaid Guesthouse ticks all the boxes - excellent service, good price, comfortable rooms, lots of small extra touches, sea-views that go on and on, a very gracious hostess and the best breakfast buffet you will find in the area. This is the one place to stay that we regularly recommend to visitors to the area. Oh, and don't forget... More

Nice nautical decor. Very helpful and friendly front desk. The breakfast was outstanding; the person who actually cooks your hot breakfast is a trained chef! This place was a very nice overnight stop during our drive along South Africa's coast. The only con: most the rooms are upstairs and the stairs are very steep, so it may be hard for... More

We were in a group of 10, touring South Africa on motorcycles, and stayed here for one night in early November 2012. We received a friendly welcome and wonderful hospitality from Carene and Christine.They provided a prearranged three-course dinner which was delicious and reasonably priced. Our sea-facing rooms were a good size; light and airy with a nice beach-house vibe.... More

I have been visiting Strusibaai as a Tour Guide for 6 years now and this Guest House is one of those guest Houses in the Western Cape that makes you feel like a home away from home. The hostess makes you feel special from the time you arrive. The breakfast is a fest and they have so many choices. The... More

Mermaid Guest House was one of those nice little surprises during our trip. It's nice, clean and quiet. And its close proximity to the lovely stretch of Struisbaii beach and the small shopping area puts this b&b in the heart of Africa's southernmost tip. The rooms are nice and tidy, and the breakfast offers a wide choice. Cape Agulhas itself... More

We stayed here one night and wish we could have stayed longer. The guest house is ideal - very clean and well appointed. Decent internet connection and the owners are friendly and always willing to help.
