Benguela is one of my best hotel experience. Greeted with cocktails upon Check-In, Room was beyond comfortable with snacks and drinks (cost). Breakfast in bed was 5 Star by Johnnattan and Handre (included). Do join cocktails and dinner with host for a world class experience (cost). Our stay was perfect... thank you.
We stayed at Benguela for one night as my husband was going on a shark diving excursion in nearby Gansbaai. The b&b was perfect for what we needed with a lovely, bright room and comfortable room. We didn’t have dinner although wish we had as it sounded amazing! Jonathan and his partner was very welcoming, and the delicious breakfast in bed was a lovely touch and definitely something I’ll remember for a long time.
Sehr nette kleine Unterkunft. Appartement sehr geräumig. Gastgeber total freundlich, der bei der Buchung von Ausflügen behilflich war .
Insgesamt sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Somos um casal de meia idade com dois filhos, e viajamos em família duas vezes por ano há 13 anos. O apartamento tem uma decoração de bom gosto, é limpo, confortável e espaçoso. Na minha unidade havia dois quartos com muitos armários novos e dois grandes banheiros, um para cada quarto. Havia uma excelente cozinha dentro do apartamento, bem equipada e com tudo o que alguém necessita para cozinhar um belo jantar. O proprietário é uma pessoa muito simpática e atenciosa. Acredito que o custo benefício dessa hospedagem foi o melhor de toda minha vida.
Onze ervaring in Benguela was ‘Geweldig’! Super aardige eigenaren en super staff! We zijn ontzettend in de watten gelegd! Bijzondere ervaring en raden het absoluut aan!
Es war der absolute Wahnsinn! Ausgezeichneter Service und das Abendessen war unbeschreiblich! Wir haben uns wie Könige gefühlt. Es ist alles sehr herzlich. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben. Super Unterkunft und sehr gastfreundlich! :-)
Wir wurden direkt von jonathan am suto empfangen und sxhon hatte er unser gepäxk in der hand... kaum im.zimmer angekommen bekame wir ein willkommensbier :-) das zimmer lag genau am pool und wir konnten vom.bett aus wale beobachten was ein traum war... jonathan gab uns seine nr falls wir waa bräuchten sollen wir ne nachrixht schreiben - zudem bekam3n wir das Frühstück direkt an pool :-)
One of the highlights of our vacation! Great location within easy walking distance to the cliffs, caves, and of course the whales. It's a very fine guest house with spacious rooms and a cool pool. The dining experience with hosts/owners/chefs Jonathan and Handre however is one of a kind. An exquisite 5 course menu prepared on the spot for all guests sitting at one big table. Very entertaining and fun! We'll be back!!
