Kleinzee Oceanfront Guesthouse

We stayed for 1 night only, we were on route east. We were welcomed very warm and the room was great. Views on Gansbaai were amazing. Perfect place for stop alongside garden route.

The room was clean, orderly, and comfortable, with a well-maintained bathroom and fantastic view. Breakfast was well-presented and served on our balcony. In summary, Klienzee Oceanfront Guesthouse is beautifully maintained, clean, and well-situated. However, the host’s lack of friendliness and the inadequately trained staff might affect your overall experience Disliked · Upon our arrival at Klienzee Oceanfront Guesthouse, we encountered an unwelcoming reception from the host. As we arrived 30 minutes before the official check-in time of 14:00, the staff member on duty had to call the host to determine if we could occupy the room. The host responded in Afrikaans, which I speak fluently despite having a foreign name, indicating that we were too early, the room was not ready, and we should return after 14:30. When we inquired about nearby dining options for a late lunch or early dinner, given that we had been traveling since early morning, the staff member informed us that restaurants only opened at 18:30. No additional advice or assistance was provided, which appeared to be due to inadequate staff training rather than any fault of the staff member. We then resorted to sitting in our car and using various apps to find a place to eat. During this time, the host arrived hastily but did not acknowledge us. We eventually found an excellent restaurant called The Great White House, which I highly recommend. The service and food were exceptional, and the restaurant operates all day. Upon our return around 16:30, our room was ready. While unpacking, someone, presumably the host, entered our room without knocking, saw us, and left without any greeting or apology—an unusual and uncomfortable occurrence. On the day of our departure, as we needed to leave early before 08:30, we requested some yogurt, muesli, and fruit to be placed in our fridge the previous evening. Although we were told this was possible, it never arrived, leaving us without breakfast. This again reflected insufficient staff training. Guests should be prepared to manage independently regarding local dining and attractions, and ensure their room is securely locked to avoid unexpected entries.

Everything is clean, spacious, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The property is exactly as shown on the images on *********** This spring (nov 2024) the pool area was still under construction. If you need it within the next 2 months, call the host and ask for it's status.

Lovely three day stay, perfect location. Greater by Whales every morning The Guest house was of a very high standard. , the staff were very friendly and added so much to the stay.

Our stay at Kleinzee Oceanfront Guesthouse exceeded expectations. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. We watched whales from the balcony off of our room, which was incredible. There is a great cafe right down the street and a walking path to the caves nearby. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Very good location and accommodation. Worth a visit. Could do with a bit more on housekeeping but then there will always be something or the other. No complaint though!!
