    Where dreams come true: We were spoiled for comfort, attention, care in these magnificent surroundings! The building is intriguingly designed, one feels like on a ship in the dunes. In the evening, spectacular sunset views await. At night, it's a perfect location for star gazing. With any weather, the views on the sea and mountains are spectacular! The central fire place makes the mornings and evenings comfy and cozy. The food is all freshly prepared with fresh ingredients and very tasty. The host family are the warmest and gentlest we've ever met. "Be at home", they said. We were.

    It was jolly cold, but a gas heater kept us warm at breakfast, and a log burning stove is promised.

    We were spoilt beautifully by the wonderful hosts, Kate and Blessed. We were brought wine and nibbles when we arrived, hot water bottles in bed, beautiful breakfast, so friendly and helpful. The sunset was breathtaking; the views generally otherworldly and amazing.

    Kate and Blessed took excellent care of us. We loved our stay at Walker Bay Dunes Lodge. The private location in the nature reserve and stunning wraparound views makes for an excellent getaway break. We felt at home in the modern yet homely property. Our room and amenities were carefully designed. Thanks again for an excellent stay.

    The communal table was both a positive and negative. Although we had beach towels in the room there were no bathroom towels.

    The owner arranged for a picnic on the beach which was a really memorable occasion. They were attentive but discreet and we had a wonderful time. We also had guests come for dinner who were welcomed and treated well. Really felt like family.

    It needs to be better signposted from the main tar road. Otherwise there's nothing to complain about at all. Nice surprise find that we'll definitely go back to.

    Everything was perfect, from the hospitality to the cleanliness to the decor. It's a new listing and I was more than pleasantly surprised.

    Our room did not have a desk. One of the five rooms does have a desk with space for 2 people though. The bed was comfortable, but not quite up to the same standard as the rest of the lodge.

    Unique and beautiful views and location. The design of the lodge is very sympathetic to the surroundings. Massive sliding doors and deck allow sunset and sunrise viewes. The coffee and tea options are extensive and excellent.

    Nothing. If forced, I would say a braai area would be nice, but they are apparently about to install one, so all good!

    The breakfast was fit for royalty. The plinge pool was a godsend - it was 35 degrees that day! The decor and layout are tasteful, modern, original and spacious, and the feeling of being away from it all out there in the beautiful reserve and all the fynbos is indescribable. Our hosts, Kate and Placid, were fantastic, friendly and more than accommodating. We will certainly return for more than just one night next time!

    The serene view and nature is out of this world. The warm greet at the gate by Blessed and welcome at the Lodge by Kate is heart warming. We had a fantastic breakfast prepared by Chef Kate. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, this peace of heaven awaits you. Kate and Blessed are not friends after our stay, but family. See you soon.

    The rooms fall a bit short on the comfort level. Beds and pillows are hard with only one size pillow. The rooms are cold with no heater/air conditioning. The building is modern but when the wind blows it really rattles.

    The location is superb and the staff are lovely. The small swimming pool is a welcome addition to the deck.

    The property is a long way from the main road along a VERY rough dirt track. The lodge is newly built and has not got a proper heating system yet. No kettle in the room but you can use the shared main kitchen to make hot drinks

    We were only there for one night but the hosts were very friendly and helpful and went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. The setting is in the heart of nature and would be spectacular in good weather but unfortunately the weather was cold, wet and windy when we were there so we didn’t see much of it.
