Hotels near Uilenkraalsmond, Gansbaai

The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

The property was on a lovely farm just outside of Franskraal. We felt very safe and secure. The owners were very understanding and helpful. Everything inside the house was fully functional and the house itself is very large and spacious.

The location overlooking the sea is fantastic. It's very basic, but comfortable. Chris, the owner is super cool and very accommodating. Loved his dog and cats that liked to visit me..... it felt like I was back in my own home with my cats. Can highly recommend it for a relaxed, chilled holiday.

Elsa is the best, so accommodating and helpful. Such a friendly and welcoming host, we absolutely loved our stay there!

Nicely appointed. Good location. Nice host.

What an amazing find! Some of our group of 8 wanted to enjoy shark cage diving and we came across Benguela and struck lucky. The whole atmosphere is one of relaxed sophistication, with beautiful and quirky decoration and artwork. The bedrooms lead out on to a pool area, which is quite intimate, but was not a problem as our group had taken the rooms. There is a stocked fridge in the room and the shower has plenty of power. The real Gem of this place is Jonathan and his team. We opted to join for dinner which was the most amazing experience at the big, shared table. The experience started with gathering in the lounge for drinks and meeting the couple of other guests, then moving into the incredible dining room for a 5-course banquet, complete with paired wines. All the time being entertained by Jonathan and his very friendly hounds. Breakfast the next day was of course both tasty and beautifully presented. We had a couple of other requests. Like borrowing some towels and checking out later – all of which were kindly met with pleasure from our very accommodating host. We would be very happy to stay again…… you can book for the dinner even if you are not staying. Highly recommended.
