Sandra's Guest House

Guest house location was perfect - near beach, near restaurants.. but far enough that it was very quiet. The breakfast was excellent. Thank you Sandra!

I stayed in the Oyster Room for a weekend, and it was pleasant, with pictures giving an accurate representation of the room - if anything the bathroom is bigger than the pictures relate to me. For those interested in mattress type, this was a firm mattress, which some may find uncomfortable. However the downside to me was the service of the staff and the room needing some work. I found the staff to be rather unfriendly (as if they are just there to do a job), and did not show much interest. This started when I arrived at the guesthouse, despite having many bags to carry upstairs to the room, I was not even offered any assistance with the items I had to carry. At breakfast, too, there wasn't the usual interest or helpfulness like I have experienced at other guesthouses, such as what plans are while staying and offering suggestions accordingly. It was just breakfast being served and that was the only focus. And even then, there wasn't even enough effort in even just a coffee refill - and being busy wasn't a reason since there was only one other table, and this occurred both mornings. As for the room, the view and location is beautiful but it is outdated. The carpet has stains, the glass on top of the bay window is very dirty (although I do understand it's difficult to reach), and the panelling below the day bed in the bay window looks very worn. There is also no microwave in the room for warming milk to make coffee or for reheating anything, meaning that unless you want frothed milk from the Nespresso machine, you would have to go to the kitchen area (which is not ideal if you want morning coffee while still in your pajamas). However, the worst part for me was the state of the bath. I ran the bath when I arrived and tried the jets of the spa bath but only for a few seconds and then put them off. I soon realised in doing so that clearly it had not had a good clean in a while. Dirt and hair from what must be previous guests were sent into the bath water, and the last thing you want to do when its time to relax is clean someone else's bath. In general, although the location is great, the experience for me was not, and that makes the service rather overpriced. In my opinion, the guest house is capitalising on location and forgoing effort that should be put into the guesthouse maintenance itself and still charging the same prices. It wasn't what I was expecting, and this room being marketed as a honeymoon room is a real letdown for newlyweds

This guesthouse is situated in such a beautiful spot and is a stones throw from the lagoon. The main room 'Oyster' has the most stunning deck which offers a direct view of the sun set and was offered as upgrade for a very justifiable price, which I accepted for my mother. Quite the treat. The bed linens were crisp and great quality and the mini bar offerings were all encompassing and well priced. Sandra went out of her way to provide vegan/ethical options for my breakfast, which was very kind and generous. There is ample parking outside the property and we could also see our car, which made it feel very safe. One thing I would like to add is that I feel that the standard rooms could do with an upgrade as they looked tired and dated, for the price. And I feel like it would have been nice to have been greeted by the owner, who stayed at the property. Especially as there was a slight language barrier with a member of staff, too, which made things a little uncomfortable and frustrating, at times. The online checking in system also didn't work and I had to do some chasing before our arrival, which could also have been avoided. But all in all, a lovely stay which will be kept in fond memory. Thank you ☺️

Fantastic location to explore the West Coast National Park, Paternoster, Cape Columbine or just go out and walk the beach in Langebaan. Only regret I didn’t have more time to stay at Sandra’s cozy, relaxing Guest House.

While we only stayed for one night, we were well taken care of by Bongi who cooked us a delicious breakfast the next morning.

Located directly on the wide beach, several restaurants within walking distance. Garden with sun loungers and plenty of shade.
