We had a most wonderful stay at Cliff Lodge. Gideon, Gil and the staff are very accomodating. Sunset over the cliff was spectacular. The food presentation was fabulous. Gideon suggested that we arrive before sunset and we were so glad we were able to experience it. The hike down and around to the beach was also a must do.

We stayed for 2 days and after 15 years traveling in South Africa we must rally compliment the owners and also their stuff what they offered to us. Beside the fact of uninterrupted views over the walker bay with no road in between, the rooms are tasteful furnished, everything is on the right place and if you would really like... More

What's not to like about this fantastic gem by the sea?! Incredible views, superb service, stunning decor... if you're even in Gansbaii you must stay here! We stayed in the Ocean Suite, which occupies the entire top floor of this fantastically appointed guesthouse. It is spacious and beautifully furnished, with the most incredible views of the bay. The hosts were... More

Stayed already second time at cliff lodge. The rooms have been excellent in the past but have been improved further. The arranged restaurants have been superb. A highlight whilst our trip through south africa to stay at cliff lodge. The breakfeast is unbeatable in its variety, quality and kind service.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights during our honeymoon tour of the Western Cape. We primarily came to the area to swim with the Sharks in nearby Gansbaai and decided to treat ourselves to one of the better Guest Houses in the area, and we are so glad we did. Even though Cliff Lodge was a bit... More

My wife and I stayed for two nights on our trip along the coast in March 2012. Apart from Cliff Lodge offering the most amazing views and absolutely comfortable rooms plus a delicious breakfast, it was the unbeaten hospitality of the two proprietors Gill and Gideon and the staff that makes us think back to this short stay with fond...

Stayed at Cliff Lodge over the last two days. Everything about it was fantastic, from the rooms to the hospitality! I'd highly recommend staying there if you're anywhere down in that area.

We spent two nights at Cliff Lodge during a week long holiday in the cape. This was our favourite hotel and location--the standard of our room was extremely high (and we loved the outdoor shower), the views are just stunning, and our hosts made us feel truly welcome with little touches like complimentary wine for my birthday and offering help...

A superb guest house in a fabulous location, great choice of decor, furnishing and very comfortable. Excellent levels of service from the owners and all the staff with a most homely ambience. Only booked one night but wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended. Gordon & Susan Wintle (UK)
