Gorgeous views on the garden route

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 07 Aug 2024
I was only here one night while driving the garden route, and what a mistake. I should have shifted things around to stay longer! This property was stunning with INCREDIBLE views. Also, the staff were so lovely. I went in off season, and booked for a dorm for 1 night. Upon arrival the woman working the front desk said, "ehh, it's just 4 males in the dorm right now. I'm just going to upgrade you for the night to your own room."

My room was STUNNING with glass sliding doors out onto a porch that overlooked the water. I got to watch the sunset from the porch and the sunrise in bed before getting on the road again.

They could do a little bit of a better job keeping the common areas a bit cleaner. Lots of dead bugs etc. Other than that, great spot.

I will certainly be coming back here when I have more time to spend!

      Such a chilled and relaxing place in a beautiful setting with amazing sea views. Friendly people and a perfect place to unwind.

      The chalet that we stayed in was well appointed, clean and comfortable. While there are no cooking facilities in the chalet, there is easy access to the communal kitchen and dining room, while braaing at the pool is also easy.

      Do not go there! View is good, but the rest is just disgusting: dirty apartment, smelly towels, dead rat in the pool!! We fled after one night, the manager refused to speak with us. Do yourself (and your family) a favour and go to another place in the area.

      Excellent accommodation for all age groups. Easy access to lagoon and beach. Great facilities and a good spot for photography and birding. Our hosts were very friendly and obliging. We enjoyed the excellent meal provided in the dining room for New Years Eve. We will definitely book there again in future.

      We stayed at Buccaneers for our sardine run trip. The place is very homey with amazing people running it. Sean and his family and team are very nice and helpful. They helped us with arranging our safari trip at Addo Park when our flight got canceled and we had extra day. The food were great and homey. We really love our stay and had a great time.
