“We stayed at Crayfish Lodge Sea & Country Guest House for only one night. It’s a small boutique guesthouse run by a lovely German couple who are so incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms have large balconies with beautiful views and are modern and very well appointed. The breakfast was amazing and all home-cooked, with lovely fresh bread, jams, fruit juices, etc. Pancakes were thrown in as a special. We were all so full that we did not have room for the cooked breakfasts on offer. The hotel is situated overlooking the bay, and the sunset was amazing. There is a coastal walk that takes about an hour to a tea and cake shop and then an hour to return. It has stunning views, and we saw the last of the whales on our walks. Highly recommended.” Joheller

“We were at Crayfish Lodge Sea & Country Guest House for the third time and still loved it as much as the first time we visited! Sandra and Reinhard are very caring and charming hosts and the team at the guesthouse are extremely friendly and attentive. Hardly anything can beat the view over the bay where you can literally watch the whales breach while having a delicious breakfast!” Lisa
“Great hospitality from the owners and staff at Crayfish Lodge Sea & Country Guest House. Beautiful, luxurious rooms and the views are unbelievably spectacular. Best choice for a place to stay in Gansbaai. Our room was extremely private, and we could have sat there for hours, days even weeks, just to gaze at the magnificent ocean and the whales.” Marien
