Detailed Reviews
Apricot gardens is a beautifully positioned, immaculate yet homely GuestHouse and the hosts are wonderful - so friendly and professional who make the tastiest breakfast. The dogs should also get a mention as they add to the majestic setting and loved to walk with us in the lovely, well-manicured gardens.
We will be back!

This is the second time I was lucky to be invited to spend the night at the guesthouse and it was another unforgettable experience.
On Friday afternoon we had sun downers on the terrasse with stunning views over the whole bay. Later we had dinner and the owner Alex prepared the most amazing meal - absolutely delicious.
My room was beautiful too. So tastefully furnished and spacious.
The pool has the coolest pool cushion to float and there are comfortable loungers to relax and enjoy the views.
Breakfast was another unforgettable experience. The selection was ample. Alex made the most amazing scrambled eggs and Melani a delicious bread.
So if you want to have an unforgettable and relaxing day or weekend away, Alex and Melani will make it happen. Thank you so very much for an amazing time.

You always got the feeling, that you are very welcome at the Apricot Gardens. Rooms are very well, always clean and you do not miss anything for a pleasant stay. Shower, separate toilet, TV, Ventilation (no air condition, but I think this is not needed), small swimming pool and excellent breakfeast. Golftours are very well organized and you can get your rental car directly at the guesthouse. Transfer to and from airport are also organized. So everything is done for a well and relaxing stay.
Because the guesthouse is a little bit outside town, you always have a quiet stay.

I was lucky to spend the New Years Eve weekend at the guest house and what away to say goodbye to 2021 and hello to 2022.
The breakfasts are delicious, from the freshly squeezed juice to the fluffy scrambled eggs or the delicious cappuccino.
We were lucky that Alex cooked us a 6 course dinner and what an amazing experience it was. Masterchef quality for the eye and the taste buds.
The rooms are accommodating and cozy and the views amazing. Regardless where one sits, on the verandah, the pool or the room, one has a stunning view over the bay. Perfect setting for a drink watching the sunset. Thank you Melani and Alex for an amazing time.

A wonderful guesthouse with perfect view to the false bay. Very nice hosts, helpful for every problem you may have, such as recommending restaurants, reservations of restaurants, tips for excursions and more.
Alex proposed and booked us a full program for golfing, like t-time reservations, cart reservations, airport transfer and rental car in front of guesthouse etc.
The rooms are comfortable and good equipped, always clean.
Not to forget the excellent cuisine and breakfast.
I can highly recomment this guesthouse, in which I was the fourth time.

The guesthouse is a beautiful, well-maintained facility in a prime location with a great view. The rooms are beautifully furnished and are cleaned daily. The breakfast is unbeatable, nothing is left to be desired. Freshly made fruit juice every day and, what we really liked, fresh homemade bread and pastries every morning. Melani and Alex are very friendly and extremely helpful. They gave us lots of tips for excursions. The guesthouse is ideally located for golf enthusiasts, as many golf courses are within easy reach. We will be back.

We loved the warm welcome, the hosts sympathy. The place was cozy, clean, charming, and organized. Despite having load shedding (as usual in South Africa), the generator was very nice, but being surrounded by natural beauty from mountains and beach, we don't want to focus on electronic things. Our room with a view to the ocean allowed us to witness beautiful sunsets. The breakfast was rich, healthy and fresh. For sure we will come back to spend more weekends!
