When we arrived at cliff lodge we were greeted by Gill, we had a quick turnaround for shark cage diving that morning which she was already aware of and had arranged our towels in a beach bag to take with us, she encouraged us to have breakfast and a coffee and Gideon sorted us out with some anti sickness tablets...

Praise cannot be high enough for this absolutely fantastic B&B - we were welcomed with a drink sitting out on the porch with a beautiful view overlooking the cliffs. The bedroon was elegant, and comfortable and our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. A big thank-you to Gill, Gideon amd Nico. We will be back! Sameer & Melanie Sant

This is a fantastic place to spend some time. We felt right at home, and got the down time we were looking for. Great room, great views and friendly efficient service! Thanks very much Gill & Gideon, hopefully we'll see you again soon.

Spent the last two nights of our 20 day trip around the Western Cape at Cliff Lodge. What a way to round off everything. A great trip. Our hosts looked after us superbly, wonderfully supported by such attentive and happy staff. The location could hardly be bettered. Plan to return soon if only to have a Nico 'Chelsea' cappuccino. .
