A stunning hotel in a spectacular location! From the moment we arrived, and throughout our stay, we were treated with first-class service from all staff. We were blown away by the fantastic quality of the accommodation, beautiful views and delicious food. "Views" is the right word for this hotel as there really are the most amazing views from every balcony, window, seating area in and around the hotel, as well as from the glass-fronted balcony in our room. This is one of the most fantastic places we have ever stayed and we do hope to return one day. Thanks to all staff for making our stay so wonderful.

I was introduced to this lovely venue and we’d gone in the day or on a clear night to appreciate the view. The service and quality of food was really good and would certainly go back. The seafood platter was served in a very different and presentable manner. The amalgamation pudding was to die for - I even had it in spite of it not being gluten free!!

Views is a beautifully maintained hotel in a fabulous position above the ocean. Our sea facing view allowed us to watch at close hand pods of dolphins swimming a short distance off shore. The sound of the waves was a delight. The beach below stretch’s for miles. We saw some swimmers at low tide but personally I wouldn’t recommend unless swimming near the life guard station when it is manned. Every member of staff was so friendly and helpful. They make a big contribution to the enjoyment of staying at Views. We had 2 well presented tasty evening meals. The restaurant makes the most of the fabulous views. Breakfasts are of a similar high standard and cooked to order. Early morning tea or coffee will be delivered to your room at a prearranged time. Really everything is done to enhance your holiday experience. Thank you Garth for helping us when we arrived late and tired out. Adrian for being so helpful. Vanessa and all the breakfast staff couldn’t have done more for us sorry I don’t have their names. I don’t usually write long reviews but feel that everyone working in this marvellous hotel ensured we left after 4 days wishing we were staying longer. Can’t comment on gym or spa but I presume they are of a similar standard

After very high expectations and anticipation I took my mum for a spa and overnight stay birthday gift. The spa was exceptional! Treatments were fantastic! That is where it ends. For the evening we ordered a meal from the menu that was no longer available and they didn’t tell us in advance. The dessert was dry. Our morning hot drinks were delivered with no milk and sugar. I then had a shower and flood the entire bathroom and hallway area! The plug was not blocked so still no idea why it happened. Embarrassing to have the duty manager turned up with only a towel around me! They apologised and dried it with towels. Not a good experience early in the morning. The hotel is beautiful however, I do not think it valid such a high price tag for a view that is available elsewhere at a lower price. Credit to each and every staff member. They are delivering exception high standards of service and a credit to the hotel.

We had a 2 night stay in December and felt very well cared for. The rooms were comfortable, spacious, had everything we needed and an incredible view from the balcony. We enjoyed the breakfast and appreciated the hot drinks brought to our room on waking. Pool on roof was fun. The spa was a little tired in areas and spa was booked up weeks in advance which was a shame.

Dear Clare52_10 Our team appreciates your wonderful feedback after your recent two-night stay at Views Boutique Hotel & Spa.

We are grateful for the detailed description regarding the spa as this gives us the opportunity to use this feedback constructively to improve our guests’ experience. As our spa is extremely popular, we are disappointed that a pre-booking was not made prior to arrival and that we did not have time slots available during your stay. We would have preferred that you experienced a well- deserved spa treatment too. We wish you all the best with your travels and for the new year. Yours hospitality Michelle Hingle Marketing Manager

What an amazing hotel!! It certainly lived up to its name - the views were stunning!! We were able to watch both sunrise & sunset over the bay.
The rooms were beautiful and we loved the extra touch of delivering our choice of fresh tea / coffee / hot chocolate to enjoy whilst we got ready for breakfast.
The evening meal was delicious & on a par with high end dining. The breakfast was also something special followed by a walk along the gorgeous beach right below the hotel.
Our only regret was that we only had one night in this beautiful location.

Brilliant hotel just above the beach with views of the crashing waves all along the beach. The rooms were very comfortable with everything you could want and had the same fantastic view. Staff are very friendly and helpful, breakfast was a little slow but when we needed it quickly they delivered.
Restaurant food was very good with good service.

The Views is a High class Hotel in the Wilderness that has fantastic views. I did not stay there but had lunch and dinner there and this review is about that experience. The view from the dining room is spectacular matched only by the quality of the food. The service is impeccable and its is very affordable of course for foreign tourists. We both had Kingklip (R265) which was just out of this world prepared with cream sauce. As a bonus they have a spa on site and for a reasonable cost we spent the afternoon there and I had a great massage. The hotel is next to the parasailing take off area and it is fun to watch those.

I had the most wonderful day with my mother on Sunday, to celebrate Mother's Day, at The Views Spa.
I emailed rather short notice, and the reception spa ladies moved mountains to schedule me in. Their email responses were so kind and helpful, and they even called me before hand to make sure I had everything I needed before Sunday.
From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, we were beyond pampered. Their facilities are so modern, in mint-condition and you can see that they take massive pride in keeping everything clean and beautiful.
Suraya and Leandri at the reception area were incredibly helpful, thank you two so much. You made our day, thank you so much.
Our massages were beyond wonderful, honestly the best massage I have ever had. They make it a real experience and you can feel that they really know what they are doing.
This is the type of place that you don't need to ask for what you want, because they already think of it for you before you do.
The pool, jacuzzi and sauna were so lovely too. Their showers, towels and bathrobes are super luxurious. They have a super amazing kitchen upstairs, so that you can order your food while in your bathrobe, after a massage, overlooking the ocean. I don't think it really gets better than that. The food is so delicious, the service impeccable, Gerald was our amazing waiter, he took pride in service and was very attentive, thank you so much to him.
Honestly, can't recommend this place enough. If you feel like treating yourself to a treatment and a day at a lovely spa, either alone or with family/friends, please go here, you'll be so chuffed. The staff is so attentive yet also give you space to breath and be on your own, the perfect balance.
Thank you to the whole team, and especially Suraya who really went over and beyond to help me. The nicest part also, was that the team knew this was a surprise for my mom, and they were so sweet to her all day, that was really special.
Thank you, Natalie

Such a fabulous hotel! Wonderful, friendly welcome, incredible cliff-top location and great restaurant. Our family of four didn't want to leave, we felt so relaxed and comfortable. We had sea-facing rooms and spent a lot of time on the top deck enjoying panoramic views and watching whales and dolphins in the bay.
