Reviewed 17 July 2005

I should have written this ages ago, so better late than never.

We toured the Garden Route in May 2005 and the last place we stayed before returning home was at Yzerfontein on the West Coast just North of Cape Town.

After a long and wonderfully hot, sunny, dusty, Karoo type drive of a day, (over from somewhere like Montagu) we came to Yzerfontein just before the sun was setting. I was at Beacon Island, Plettenberg Bay in the 70s and enjoyed many a sunset there and this one was as exceptional as the best of those.

Then we set about finding our accommodation and checked into another Yzerfontein property which had no heating, was sparten in its decoration, mediocre shower only en suite, proprietor was not the most welcoming and really had not a lot going for it, but at least we had a room!!

However, not happy with this situation we went for a "scout about" and come across The Gulls and Faanie and Colleen. What a WONDERFUL find. What an absolutely charming couple and frankly, just write here if you find any better accommodation in South Africa - and I know South African accommodation is excellent, but I defy you to find better - then consider the price and you have a true gem of a place.

So we apologised to our previous host and moved before anyone changed their minds!!

The accommodation at The Gulls is guaranteed (my guarantee) 5 star (that is English 5 star) Enormous fabulously decorated and exceedingly comfortably furnished rooms (ours had a wonderful view over the bay and just caught the sunset actually) where no expense has been spared - What an absolutely treat.

Breakfast was as good as the standard of the room and just nothing was too much trouble for Faanie or Colleen.

Highly recommended - The Gulls, Faanie and Collen and Yzerfontein.

Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
