    The pizza for dinner was not good. Also, we were missing a room key card when leaving and they were so picky about it saying they would charge us. You don’t expect this behavior in a $400/night place.

    The place is gorgeous, you can see the sunrise from the bed if you leave the curtain open. We also booked and hot tub (extra money) and watched the sunset from there. It was magical with the zebras and springboks on the property.

    Not one single thing!

    Every single thing! The attention to detail, the design, the hospitality, the views, the amenities, literally everything was exceptional. To top it off there were zebras in the estate too! But in all honesty, it was the nicest hotel / lodge I have ever stayed at. Pichy and Bjorn have honestly thought of it all and it honestly goes to show. The food, the experiences and their communication was 11/10. I would recommend Pure Sea Boutique Lodge to all. I really do hope that I will be back !

    Sorry, Nothing to say here.

    Thank you for everything Pichy & Bjorn. What you’ve build here is unique. The Design, the interior, the warm welcome, the hospitality, the breakfast, the lovely carrot cake and as an special add on the Zebras directly in front of the house. No words can describe that feeling. Best Boutique Lodge - You deserve it! We will be back at on time for sure! For upcoming Guest: If you looking for something special and boutique, stay here!

    If I had to pick on something, it would be a more extensive wine list. More boutique wines in-line with the brand and experience. (Rather than mass produced)

    Everything was amazing! The location, the design, the service, the food and all of the personalised touches and small details that make a big difference. We loved everything.

    Nothing, it is perfect.

    This property is very special and unique. This is the place away from the hustle at home where one recharge, relax and find the beauty we have in South Africa. I did not want to leave this Pure Sea Lodge set in fynbos on the beach. We have received a warm welcome from owners Björn and Pichy and staff. Actually they have helped me organised a wonderful anniversary weekend before we have arrived. The rooms are comfortable and attention to interior is immaculate. The food was great, even the cappuccinos made by Nico. We have enjoyed tapas, the hot tub and strolls on the beach.

    That we only stayed 2 nights!

    Pure Sea is one of, if not the most, special places we have ever stayed. The hospitality provided is second to none, whilst not being intrusive. The property itself is designed immaculately with such great attention to detail. We had a beach picnic and tapas in the hot tub and both experiences were fantastic, set up to the highest standard and the food prepared was presented beautifully (and tasted amazing!).The zebras roaming the property is a real highlight! The owners have clearly put so much effort into creating the property and really strive to give the guests a unique and luxury experience, which they have achieved! Worth every penny…and more! Will recommend anyone visiting SA to visit here on their trip.

    A little privacy in front of each room would be great. Guests were walking past our room to access the pool area even though there were not supposed to walk that way. A hot tub/plunge pool for each room would be amazing.

    Stunning location and views. Absolutely peaceful place to unwind and relax. Hosts and staff are great and really make you feel welcome. Beautiful and modern rooms with really special touches. Love the eco friendly everything. Breakfast is really good. I would definitely stay here again.
