Guest Reviews

• horst (10/5): Absolutely awesome stay in stunning location - Elevated property , with stunning 180 degree views over indigenous tropical bush and the sea. Staff were very engaged throughout and made the stay feel quite homely. Trafalgar in general was in our opinion the best kept residential and holiday area on the south coast together with a magnificent blue flag beach. Nothing
• Kerry (10/5): - Ocean view, interior design and fantastic dinner and breakfast! I didn't stay longer!
• Carr (10/5): -
• Mimi (10/5): - The scenery and ambiance. I loved everything ❤️
• Banzi (10/5): The property is amazing and situated at a location with amazing sea views - The property has the most amazing ocean view. The staff / owners are quite hospitable and, they ensured that our stay was more than comfortable. The breakfast is also amazing. We plan to re-visit the property in the not-so-distant future.

• Rainer (10/5): Ein Traum am Meer - Ein phantastisch am Meer gelegenes, liebevoll und geschmackvoll vorrangig im asiatischen Stil eingerichtetes Home, über mehrere Etagen gelegen mit phantastischem Ausblick. Überall nette Ecken, in denen man sich entspannt niederlassen kann. Ein romantischer hauseigener Pfad mit Dschungelfeeling führt zum Strand. Die Zimmer entsprechend wunderschön ausgestattet, bequeme Betten, großzügige Badezimmer. Wir bekamen sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade!!! Das Frühstück wunderbar, je nach Wunsch mit frischen Früchten, Eierspeisen, Croissants, alles was das Herz begehrt, von den Hausdamen liebevoll. Die Besitzer kümmern sich perfekt und aufmerksam um alle Belange, man fühlt sich "wie zuhause". Vielen Dank, Grant und Paolo! Es gab nichts zu beanstanden

• Monika (10/5): Perfekt zum relaxen! - Hier stimmte alles, die Ausstattung, das Ambiente, der Service! Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt, hatten ein super schönes Zimmer mit Aussicht aufs Meer. Grant hat uns sehr willkommen geheißen und uns viele Tipps für Unternehmungen und für Restaurants gegeben! Ein sehr schöner Ort für einen perfekten Urlaub! Nach unserer anstrengenden aber wunderbaren Rundreise durch Südafrika mit vielen tollen Erlebnissen waren wir hier genau am richtigen Ort zum relaxen! Danke an Grant und sein ganzes Team! Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden!

• Monica (10/5): Exceptional - I had the most wonderful stay at Nakai Beach Homestay, and I can’t thank Grant and Paulo enough for their exceptional kindness and help throughout my visit. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well cared for. The sea view from my room was absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the sound of the waves and that stunning vista each morning was a true highlight. The breakfast served each day was delicious and beautifully presented, the perfect start to every day. The room was extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The decor throughout the homestay is exquisite — a perfect blend of elegance and island charm. The staff were consistently warm, friendly, and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly and that I had everything I needed. Thank you again, Grant and Paulo, for making my stay so special. I look forward to returning one day! Regards Sally

Thank you so much! We are definitely coming back!
• Caren (9/5): Brilliant! - The breakfasts, the scenery / views, the hospitality N/A
• Jake (10/5): 10 out of 10! We be back ASAP. - There aren’t many places like Nakai. From the moment you step through the door, it just feels different—in the best way. The house itself is full of character, with art and artefacts from all over the world that give it a really unique vibe. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into how the space is laid out. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s a place you want to be. What really struck me is how comfortable and relaxed everything feels. It’s the kind of place where you can instantly unwind, like you’ve stepped into a home rather than a hotel. The rooms are spacious and super comfortable. Grant, Karen and the rest of the staff, are a big part of what makes Nakai so special. They’re incredibly warm and truly want you to have a great time. You really feel taken care of. Breakfasts are a highlight—healthy, delicious, and just the right way to start the day. You can spend hours just soaking in the scenery and the unmatched view of the ocean from the deck. There’s also a private beach right down from the house, part of a conservancy, which feels like a bonus. It’s quiet, peaceful, and a perfect place to unwind. Overall, Nakai just has this special, laid-back charm that’s hard to put into words.
• Kimberleigh (9/5): By far one of the best places I’ve stayed in. Warm host and staff made us feel at home - Home decor and views were amazing. And private pathway to the beach was an added bonus No microwaves available. Limited tv channels in the bedroom if you are someone who enjoys a little tv time for relaxation
• Thembeka (9/5): Well located holiday 🏡 - The place always beautiful but I feel has slight deteriorated from the first time went 2years ago….& The DOGS kept in the house just feel very awkward ,they r no danger/harm I understand ,but not all of us like being around dogs especially if you on holiday..Owners can they all consider long mirror be In clear space.

• Einheimler (10/5): Exceptional - It was an amazing stay, we will definitely come again and I can only recommend this great place. The interior is incredible, made with so much love, and the hosts make you feel like home. The breakfast is one of the best i've ever had and the view from the rooms is stunning. It is like a little secret asian place in South africa. The walk through the jungle to the beach is an adventure.

• Jeremy (10/5): Brilliant place, magnificent views, wonderful hosts, exceptional food. Will return -
• Matthias (10/5): Tolles Guest House mit super netten Eigentümern. - Everything🙏🏻 —
• Manyu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ticky (10/5): Absolutely stunning and value for money was way beyond expectations - will be remembered for ever! - Everything you wish for on a vacation was provided with a smile and engaging conversation by the hosts. From the late check-in to the early check-out and the personal breakfast service were all provided with the same hospitality and friendly support. The rooms are superb and spotlessly clean with a spectacular uninterrupted view over the sub-tropical conservancy and the Indian Ocean. The TV channels and Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout our stay. The dogs were just as friendly as their owners, the hosts. Absolutely nothing was irritating or upsetting. Even the stairs, which could be a challenge for older people like us, were easily managed and often assisted by the hosts with cheerful and friendly conversation.
