The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

Every single thing! The attention to detail, the design, the hospitality, the views, the amenities, literally everything was exceptional. To top it off there were zebras in the estate too! But in all honesty, it was the nicest hotel / lodge I have ever stayed at. Pichy and Bjorn have honestly thought of it all and it honestly goes to show. The food, the experiences and their communication was 11/10. I would recommend Pure Sea Boutique Lodge to all. I really do hope that I will be back !

The location is incredible. The accommodation itself was very welcoming and they did everything to make us feel special and to make sure our stay would be extraordinary. Located in a safe, guarded area. There were zebra’s! I’m sure you could also see some whales if you are lucky. You could also take a walk on the beach, which is so beautiful.

Reggie was a perfect host. We were made welcome, looked after properly, and had a superb dinner and perfect breakfast for our needs. The main room we were allocated was unbelievably well appointed with an amazing view. We look forward to a whale-watching re-visit in 2023. A stunning property and stay. Only praise for this establishment.

    Gansbaai was a comfortable city with spectacular views where our family explored the southern coast of South Africa. We discovered hidden beaches, spotted many beautiful Protea flowers, sunbathed on Pearly Beach, went to the fish market in the harbor at Gansbaai, lunched on butter chicken and fish and chips at the Blue Goose, restaurant on Hoop St, hiked Klipgat Caves at the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, glimpsed a pod of orcas, and a mother Southern Right whale and her calf, spotted three of the Marine Big 5, dined at the White House, saw Danger Point lighthouse along a four wheel drive track along the beach, found crazy amounts of beautiful shells on the beach. It was an epic adventure.

Exquisitely decorated and everything, right down to the cutlery and glassware, is high quality. Bed was extremely comfortable.

    A cozy place with a wonderful host! It was a big pleasure talking to Johannes! He gave us lots of advise and useful information on surrounding area and walked us to the best beach in Gansbaai and shared a glass of Amarulo during a nice conversation in the evening! Special thanks for a huge discount on Shark Cage Diving tour! In the morning we had a very lovely breakfast and left the property with the most positive mood possible! Thank you, Johannes! We'll definitely come back to your B&B!
