No problems. Friendly welcome.
Have a great time and will definitely stay there again. One of the best places to stay overnight. Will definitely recommend.
Lovely, quiet and very tidy.
It is always nice to stay at Tourist Lodge in Gansbaai. The place has everything you need and the staff is very friendly.
My family and I stayed there during a family wedding and we were very pleased! Great customer service!
Well welcomed by the hostess. Accommodation is neat, comfortable, safe and well located. Price is also good. I would be happy to use the services again.
Cleaning services were missing. We were not informed if it was included. Microwave oven lid and bathroom shelf would be welcome.
Neat accommodation. Conveniently located. Accommodation was neat and comfortable for me and my wife. Friendly reception by staff. Safe. Within walking distance of all necessary things.
Unit is well equipped clean and tidy. Will stay here again, thanks. Extremely central close to everything yet quiet environment.
I felt at home. Everything was neat and we had everything we needed. We felt safe and everything was within walking distance. I will definitely use the facilities again and I would recommend them anytime.
Owners are very friendly and hospitable. The place is clean and tidy. Very well located, close to restaurants and shops. Would recommend to family and friends anytime.
Everything was as expected, except for the mosquitoes.
Super relaxing. Extremely clean and certainly value for money!
We are retired and came to visit Gansbaai in the middle of the week. We also made use of the barbecue facilities. Everything very neat and clean. The roof fan helps a lot. Will definitely visit your guest house again. Can definitely recommend putting in UPS to ensure WiFi is available throughout, during load shedding, at the units.
The lodge is centrally located in the town. Everything you need is available. Nice braai facilities. Problems are attended to immediately.
Very welcome feeling and safe parking, braai facilities. Will recommend.
Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book the same venue again in future.
Beautiful and well-equipped rooms. The host was very welcoming.
Very nice place! Safe and tidy. Definitely good service!
It was a nice getaway. Only the weather and loadshedding interfered a bit, but nothing we couldn't handle. We will definitely go back again to explore more in this nice Overberg Area.
My wife and I were looking for accommodation for a wedding we attended at Murasie on the weekend of the 19th November and came across Tourist Lodge through the website. From the moment we arrived there we were really impressed with Tourist Lodge. The room was very neat and we were received very kindly. It is located close to everything in Gansbaai and only an 11 minute drive to the wedding. I would really recommend Tourist lodge. Great accommodation for a great price!
Need other units for cooking and baking.
Francois is a good host. The place is well maintained and tidy. We had a great stay for 2 days!
Very nice place, everything you need. No one bothers you. Water runs a little long before it gets hot, but it's little things. The place is clean and you don't lack anything. Good restaurants within walking distance, as well as mall. Would highly recommend it.
We were received friendly and professionally with information about Gansbaai as a tourist destination.
The owner takes a lot of care for everything to work fine. Very welcoming staff too. Great stay full of accessories, pots, cutlery. Great room, with privacy in a garden. Great braai, looking forward to come visit again.
It's always a pleasure to go there. People respect each other and you can move around peacefully.
Communication was by phone all the time, but good.
Highly recommended, would definitely stay there again.
Toilet roll holder in bathroom and rack to place toiletries on, as well as hooks for dish towels in the kitchen are needed, otherwise perfect!
There was a longer staying patron who was very drunk and loud. Very disruptive. The tiny fridge did not work properly causing us to loose some meat we bought. All the other units had braais close by, but ours not. 2 sets of stairs to get to the braai and the wind was pumping. I will definitely do my homework better when we visit Gansbay again.
Thank you. Everything was fine.
It was just what we wanted.
All complaint I have is that Dover with all the places we have stayed, the fridge makes a noise at night, if a plan is made with it.
Been here before and would recommend to anyone anytime. Your service is fantastic and was received with a big smile and genuine warmth. You can!
We were received very well and welcome.
Visit was too short, would have liked to stay longer.
It rained which locked us in and we couldn't do what we had planned.
Friendly service, a comfortable bed, a spacious room and a lovely shower plus a well-equipped kitchen area with all necessary barbecue equipment. What more does one need?
We had a large room with everything we needed. Price is great for what you get.
Lovely and safe place. Friendly staff and very accommodating. We had a tranquil weekend away from home.
See stars.
Comfortable and safe stay. Will return.
Friendly service, well equipped and user friendly.
Upon our arrival we were upgraded to a larger room because we were the only guests there at the time. Place is very neat, is fully equipped with everything you will need. Management team is great, there within 2 minutes for any questions/problems. Will definitely visit The Tourist Lodge again. Definitely value for money.
Sal definitief weer bespreek. Dit was nou my derde keer en sal dit weer bespreek. Enige tyd. Ek hou van die rustigheid en privaatheid. Fantasties.
Only used for overnight stay and the service and accommodation was perfect.
Top service, went the extra mile to solve a small financial problem that was my fault.
Great value for money. Unit was clean and provided us with everything we needed and more for our overnight stay.
Very calm with als. Great.
The wooden toilet seat is rotting. The wooden window frames are already rotting. Some of the tiles in the bathroom are cracked. The toilet handle is loose. The toilet makes a terrible noise when it is full. The shower head is rusty and unsightly. The internet service is sporadic. The DStv decoder is loading up and having trouble switching on or changing channels.
It was very nice and everything we needed was in the house, thank you.
Everything was needed was available.
The accommodation was well equipped and very comfortable. The service from the staff was excellent.
Nice central location near shops and eateries. Neat place, will definitely book there again.
The place was what was expected, plus more.
We received very good service, the only problem was the fridge not working but luckily we didn't stay long so it didn't really hurt us. Otherwise everything was good!
Value for money. Room looks like on photos.
The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. Everything I needed to stay comfortable was provided. The parking is also secure and located close to the rooms.
We really enjoyed the time away and Tourist Lodge Gansbaai was exactly what we needed.
We really enjoyed the visit, it was very pleasant.
Very neat and good service. Everything is convenient and everything works.
Affordable, convenient and neat. Will book again.
An excellent getaway.
Basic accommodation, but sufficient for a night or two. Chantal very friendly. WiFi good. Sorry there was no desk to work on inside the unit.
Gerieflik, netjies, veilig vir kinders.
Because of Covid19 and the president's new curfew and rules kept us locked in to really experience Gansbaai, but other than that we had a great time.
Very well located in the town as well as in relation to the neighboring beaches/ports etc.
One night of tranquility, safety and contentment. Will always recommend.
Very peaceful place to visit. Neat and clean. The kitchen has everything you might need. Within walking distance of most shops. Have a great time!
Please see above feedback.
Apart from the noise from other residents it was very nice.
Was safe and conveniently close to shopping mall, caves and to sport fields.
Everything you'd need for a getaway at an affordable price
Very spacious, well equipped. Veranda was great as it provided privacy. Highly recommend the lodge. Excellent value for money.
We stayed over for our wedding anniversary and the room had everything we needed. Chantel's service was great.
Will definitely stay there again one day.
It's always nice to visit you. Value for my money.
Was very clean and well equipped with everything we need.
The rooms were clean. It was value for money. The wifi did not cover the family unit that we rented.
Neat unit, helpful.
We had a great time relaxing and resting well. The lodge was quiet ─ given that it was out of season. Very clean and tidy. I would suggest that laundry facilities are also offered as everything is closed on a Sunday. Also short of a wire brush to clean the grill. No covered parking for vehicles.
Good value for money, neat and clean.
Peaceful atmosphere and comfortable host. We really enjoyed just hanging out.
Was value for money. Will definitely visit again. Everything was just as I would like it to be. Was very neat and private. Everything we could need was available. Well done!
Warm welcome, lovely stay.
Very quaint place. Safe parking. We had a great stay.
However, be aware that the accommodation is located on a fairly busy street. However, parking is very secure behind gates. One advantage of the busy street is that you are very close to several shops. Will definitely stay here again!
Maybe make a note on the booking to phone them as the intercom is very soft and they do not have a reception.
This place is really affordable and worth it. The atmosphere is fantastic and all the amenities you get are 100%. We really enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who made it possible for the guests. You guys are amazing.
Very clean, comfortable and hospitable. I was there in the winter - electric blankets in the bed were a total win!
Had a great stay and will keep this lodge in mind when overnighting in Gansbaai again.
It was very neat and clean! We enjoyed the getaway so much.
We were kindly received and immediately made to feel at home. The accommodation was neat and clean, everything needed was available.
We really enjoyed staying in No. 7. The only negative point there is the shower head that is a bit loose and a kitchen sink that was broken. There is a rusted hook next to the toilet where someone may be hurt. Room was spacious, clean and very neat. Hot blanket on the bed was a highlight! The cleanliness of the shower was really great! Lady at reception was very friendly and helpful. Location is located near quite a few shops and the sea is down the street. Great!
Well located for places like Stanford and Hermanus where there are more restaurants and shops. Gansbaai very peaceful place with its own atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful residents.
Very neat accommodation, with everything you need to have a nice stay in another town.
My wife and I spent the night here on the 10th night of our Pilgrimage of Hope and were pleasantly surprised by what we received at Tourist Lodge. All the little things are looked after. From enough coffee and tea, milk in the fridge, and soft bedding to even an iron in the cupboard. Thanks for looking at the little things, they count!
Not very clean. Not 100% secure. Stayed in number 1.
I really enjoyed it. Will definitely go back.
There is only a small trash can in the unit. When the bag was full we didn't know what to do with it, because the 1 outside bin was full of dirty baby nappies. Also only half a roll of toilet paper was provided and we ran out of toilet paper at night. The mini fridge was battered and had a smell. I couldn't even get the smell out with vanilla essence.
We really had a fantastic time. The place was perfect. Everything you could think of was there. It was such a nice feeling to sit with the doors open like back then so that the cool air goes through your place and it's safe there. There is also a convenient roof fan. Louw's hospitality and kindness was much appreciated. You don't have to drive anywhere with Spar center around the corner, a nice place for breakfast diagonally opposite and Seeview Hotel just 2 blocks away. We will definitely be there again. My husband accidentally packed a black serrated knife. We will drop it off as soon as we come to visit family around the 24th. Apologize profusely.
For the price we paid it was excellent. Very clean and tidy. They can just come up with a plan at some point with the couches standing there and the microwave rusted on the inside. The bed, bed linen, curtains and the bathroom part were hotel standard for me, but the quality of the rest such as the sofas, microwave and the loose mats did not match.
What a wonderful stay. Beds were comfortable, linen was clean, kitchen adequate and the service was great.
Very nice place, it was my home away from home. The braai facilities provided are nice.
Convenient, clean and well equipped. Good value for money.
The Gansbaai Town Lodge was so well rested, that I was super surprised. Very centrally located and conveniently close to restaurants etc. What we particularly liked was the private seating area outside.
The service and hospitality is excellent. I look forward to staying at Gansbaai Town Lodge every time. Perfect place to relax. Everything is within walking distance. Everything is tidy and the staff is entirely at your disposal.
Friendly and very efficient staff, clean, tidy and safe accommodation. A little maintenance on "kitchenette" drawers needed. Very nice stay, thank you!
I choose Gansbaai Town Lodge for every trip to Gansbaai. Wonderful sel-catering units with friendly service and very neat. Highly recommended.
The lodgings was perfect, very happy to have had the opportunity to stay there.
Thank you for your hospitality and prompt service.
Good value for money - well equipped.
Units are neat and clean. Will go again for sure.
Very impressed with price and what we got. Checked in earlier and reception was warm and friendly and room ready even though we were early. So beautifully appointed - everything you could think of needing was there. Wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely come again and definitely recommend too. Neat and clean too!
Gansbaai Town Lodge is highly recommended.
No complaints. Very neat. Will definitely visit again and recommend to friends.
Was in unit number 6. Very well equipped and tidy. Calm atmosphere. The double bed was heavenly with good quality sheets and mattress. The heater came in handy as the evening turned chilly.
See stars.
Rooms were clean and tidy. Kitchenette fully equipped. Nice electric blankets and we really got some great sleep. The power went out in the evening but the manager sorted it out in a jiffy, but the water was lukewarm the next day. There was something wrong with the geyser. We will defnitely be back.
Delightful accommodation. Private, safe and quality accommodation. Good mattresses. Very good value for money. Will undoubtedly use it again.
Accommodation was neat, clean and central. Peaceful environment and will definitely book through LekkeSlaap again. Always satisfied.
We had a great time. The units are comfortable, well equipped and centrally located and the staff very friendly. We can definitely recommend it and would love to visit again.
The room was beautifully neat and clean and the beds are comfortable. The customer service is very good and the lady was very friendly. The lodge is central and nice and close to the shops and restaurants. It was exactly what we were looking for for our one night in Gansbaai, going shark cage diving with the great white shark. Will definitely recommend the lodge. Rooms have everything you might need. Will definitely book there again when next we're in the area. Thank you!
Gansbaai Town Lodge is truly value for money, great service and definitely a place I'd go again.
Will definitely stay there again if we're in the area.
Will go back anytime. It was fantastic and we were very comfortable. Thank you for the great service.
Feel free to see the stars.
Beautiful, neat and friendly professional staff, thank you very much!
I found the owner extremely hospitable and helpful. The quality of the facilities and the cleanliness was in my opinion unsurpassed. The accommodation costs are reasonable, value for money! I can wholeheartedly recommend Gansbaai Town Lodge.
Gansbaai is a quiet and wonderful small town. There isn't much to see and do, but if you want a peaceful getaway far from the city, it's the ideal place.
Very nicely located, safe, clean and tidy. Hospitable owner.
My room was well equipped and it was lovely to have my own little porch. Walking distance from shops and the harbour. Very nice stay.
Very nice place. I wish we could stay longer!
The lodge's service was excellent. Everything was clean and tidy. Will go back again.
Very helpful and friendly. Mattress is done.
We needed a place to dress up for a family wedding and this fit the bill. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a lovely stoep to not drink your coffee in the morning.
The lodge had everything that I needed and wanted. I felt safe, especially since I travelled alone and I didn't have to worry aboit my car as it was secure in the lodges parking. I will definitely be back.
Neat and quiet, centrally located.
Large self-catering units. Very good value for money.
Reception was warm, room very clean and tidy with television. Security is very good.
Gansbaai Town Lodge offered good, friendly service. The rooms were well furnished, clean and comfortable. I would recommend the Gansbaai Town Lodge to anyone looking for comfortable and central self-catering accommodation in Gansbaai.
I would recommend anyone to use your services anytime. From here on I will not go anywhere without getting your approval in a place. Thank you very much for your highly valued services, LekkeSlaap.
Service was excellent. Will definitely recommend you guys.
Can recommend it with confidence.
Gansbaai Town Lodge is a very neat place, very well located, friendly and very helpful staff. We had a great time staying here, it was definitely too short and we will definitely go again.
Stay was lovely and good value for money. It exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Gansbaai Town Lodge to others and I already have!
Central and easy to find.
Auntie M is a fantastic hostess... We were met with a lot. Will definitely visit again!
Welcomed. Room neat and tidy. Would recommend Gansbaai Town Lodge to anyone looking for comfortable and reasonably priced accommodation.
Centrally located, within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the sea. A peaceful getaway oasis. DStv would have rounded off the stay perfectly, especially the sports channels.
Loved staying here, the owner was kind and sweet to help with anything we wanted. It's clean, safe and provides parking in a quiet area, not far from the harbor. It is definitely worth the price. Thanks a lot.
1. As mentioned above, on the morning of our departure we only had lukewarm water that would not get hot. 2. a heater would also have made the stay more pleasant, now that winter is starting. Furthermore, it was convenient.
