Wow, where to start. The location is perfect, we saw whales every morning from the comfort of our bed. The breakfast is excellent, the staff friendly and helpful. Lots of walking trails benches to sit on, an excellent experience.

The tea and coffee, rusks were not replenished everyday, but it is a small thing compared to the value received. The photos do not do justice to the type of room booked. I ended canceling the double room with a balcony because I could not tell if it had a sea view. The double room has the best view and the other room was considerably smaller.

The views are spectacular, the location of the guest house is superb easy access to go to town to visit Franskraal, Hermanus and all other surrounding areas. I stayed in a very expensive hotel near the waterfront in Capetown and that was very underwhelming compared to the guesthouse the food the room the service was way better at Sea Star Cliff. Absolutely love this accommodation would stay there every time that's for sure. We travel a lot in SA and have stayed at many Guesthouses and this is the absolute best. The pictures you see on the various platforms om this guest house is exactly what you get. Well done to the owners lots of heart and soul in this accommodation.

There is nothing that i didnt like everything is perfect thats for sure

Amazing ocean view and the breakfast was good..

The toilet lid was kinda yellowish, which tells you that things were not very clean. This place really tries hard to be high end but oh boy, it's not worth more than 100 USD per night (the hike up the prices a lot in summer). The location is pretty bad, there's literally nothing around. My recommendation: don't go to this place and stay somewhere else where it's nicer. There are MANY nicer places around the garden route, and this is not one of them.

Staff were friendly and obliging, good range of things on offer for breakfast, excellent sea views from the rooms, good beds,

Routine maintenance for the building is lacking - taps that don’t work, tiles coming away from tue wall in the showers, acoustic ceiling tiles detaching from the ceiling in the hallway, hot water not working in some rooms. Inconsistent tv facilities between the rooms, doors that rub against the frames when you open and close them, fabric coming off chair in the penthouse room... You don’t expect issues like this when you are paying these amounts for rooms.

Superb location - best views. Along with another couple we took over the two penthouse room / suite - this gave us an enormous rooftop area to move sunbeds / chairs and watch the sunset in complete privacy. Rooms were spacious and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff extremely friendly. Good breakfast. Quiet location (in January! Not sure so quiet in whale watching season?) Recommend pre booking local restaurants as very few within a 20 minute drive.

Not too sure about the shared rooftop if unknown guests in other penthouse as extremely open space with potential to see in to the other room. The reflective windows could do with a refresh as could see in to some rooms.

Attentative and friendly staff, beautiful location, lovely and clean, nice breakfast, stunning views, plenty parking,

Layout of rooms, spa bath right next to bed can't get in except from bottom of bed, can hear everyone coming and going, some of decor, mismash of tiles and sloppy paint maintenance made rooms look cheap and a little outdated, black tiles slippery in shower of room 4 and shower leaked into main bathroom floor area

The views are spectacular. The room beautifully decorated.

The fact that the hair dryer can jot reach a place where there is a mirror. And the hairdryer is a bit small and cut out when it is in use for longer periods, especially if you have long hair. Please look at the coffee machine in room. It makes one cup perfect and the the next cup only fill the cup with a little bit of water. It happened two days in a row.

We received a warm welcome from the host Dumisani and our room was upgraded which was a big bonus! Breakfast was very good, the location was perfect! The staff were all very friendly and welcoming! 🤗

The rooms could do with being updated. The dècor is a tad outdated and needs a little mordernising.

Breakfast was superb thank you for the eggs Benedict The view Bed was comfortable Location Service was all really amazing and will be back.

The tv is outdated and nespresso coffee would be nice. Quality coffee is always great. The toilet in luxury suite is not comfortable to use. No leg space. Tv in other room was not user friendly. Tap on other room said out of order. Towel heater wasn’t working. Very inconvenient in the winter time esp. Shower floors are very slippery esp for elderly guest.

Sea Star Cliff is a guesthouse in De Kelders near Gansbaai. It is right at the seashore and we have watched the whales from our balcony - the view on the bay is fabulous. We travelled the Western Cape for 5 weeks (14 hotels) and this was one of the two best hotels we stayed in. The rooms are very spacious, luxurious and tastefully decorated, with comfortable beds. The rooms have the usual facilities, with an airco. Bathroom is large and comfortable too. There is a coffee-/tea machine, and a fridge with complimentary water bottles. Wifi is good, but does not work during ‘load shedding ‘. Breakfast is very good and starts at 8:00. They do have a very good cappuccino, and Dumisani even managed a cappuccino during load shedding. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. You can park your car behind the hotel.The parking area is not locked with a gate, but staff assured us it was safe.
