Guest Reviews
- Henru (10/5): -
- Günter (10/5): - Sehr ruhig schöne Lage mit Ausblick auf das Meer. Das Apartment war sehr gut ausgestattet, mit Grill, eine voll ausgestattet Küche. Wir haben keine Kritik!
- Amora (8/5): - The Fisherman's House was comfortable and situated close to the shore. Newly renovated, everything was fresh and clean. The bedding luxurious and comfortable..
- Trudy (10/5): Amazing experience, looking forward to our next stay. - We really loved the location, the wildlife and fauna. The quietness and privacy of our stay was a bonus.

- Desiree (10/5): Wonderful relaxing. - Prestine environ8ment. Nature walks, beach walks, lighthouse. Wedding Chapel/Conference facilities beautiful!
- Felix (10/5): -
- Riki (10/5): Paradise found - The location is unsurpassed. The cottage was newly renovated with a modern look and feel a lot of extras, like USB ports in the headboards. The window benches were really nice. Suggestions, not dislikes: serving platters and snack bowls would be nice. We reported that the fan/light in the lounge did not work, but it wasn't fixed. I suspect it forms part of the snag list after the renovation.
- Ken (8/5): -
- Kristiana (9/5): -
- Kathrin (9/5): Sehr entspannt mit guten Grillmöglichkeiten - Sehr gute Ausstattung der Ferienwohnung.Alles war sehr hochwertig und es fehlte nichts.Es gibt einen schönen Pool.

- Swiegelaar (10/5): -
- Erina (9/5): Lovely and comfortable accommodation with a superb sea-view. - Beautiful location with view on the sea and indigenous vegetation. Kitchen was well-equipped, room was spacious and comfortable. Outside stoep and braai also had seaview. Our unit was at the parking area, with the tenants at the other units moving up and down in front of our unit to get to their cars for unloading and uploading.
- Dollie (7/5): -
- Marina Loubser (10/5): - Beautiful location. Peaceful and quiet

- Marlene (10/5): -
- Anthea (10/5): - Kooigoed no 3 was perfect for the two of us. We loved the quiet and stillness. Loads to do and to explore
- JL BEUKES (10/5): Blissful getaway at Gourikwa Nature Reserve - We had an incredible stay at Gourikwa Nature Reserve. Everything about this place is absolutely breathtaking — from the phenomenal views to the stunning natural surroundings. The amenities were lovely and thoughtfully done, making the stay comfortable and effortless. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect escape from everyday life, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the beauty around us. The experience was nothing short of magical — serene, beautiful, and unforgettable. We would happily stay here again and again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil, scenic getaway. The one thing I would add to the room is a mini oven /microwave oven - rather than just a 2 plate stove and an ordinary microwave.

- Helena (8/5): Delightful stay. - Very quiet, with beautiful scenery and the property is well maintained. There was no restaurant availability - staff mentioned the restaurant is only open during December holidays. The products available in the small tuck shop corner is very limited and visitors to this facility should bring all their food with. There are also just 2 cooking pots in the facility we occupied with a 2-plate induction stove top. So, the meals I could prepare was limited as there was also no oven or Air Freyer.
