Above expectations. We stayed at the campsite. Absolutely amazing. Beach for miles and miles. Dolphins playing in waves. Spotless place.

A magical place, a true gem on the West Coast. Stunning location, behind the dunes, far from everything. This was exactly what I hoped for, and more. The accommodation was spacious and beautifully arranged, with everything needed for a comfortable, if not luxurious, stay. Very pleasantly surprised. Staff were an absolute treat, and made us feel welcome and special. There is a heated pool. The real stunner is obviously the surroundings, the beautiful nature, the birds, the springboks grazing around, and the never-ending dunes with no soul in sight.

Blessed! A West Coast treat. Wonderful stay! We saw dolphins during our morning coastal jog, with direct beach access from the units. There is a dam full of birdlife, springbok and perfectly placed benches to enjoy a sunset drink. The heated pool and fireplace make it ideal in any season. The host welcomed us personally. A true treasure on the West Coast, perfect for relaxing and resting.

Salig! 'n Weskus bederf. Heerlik gebly! Ons het dolfyne gesien tydens ons oggend-kusdraf, met direkte strandtoegang vanaf die eenhede. Daar is ’n dam vol voëllewe, springbokke en perfek geplaasde bankies om ’n sonsondergangkelkie te geniet. Die verhitte swembad en kaggel maak dit ideaal in enige seisoen. Die gasheer het ons persoonlik verwelkom. ’n Ware skat aan die Weskus, perfek om te ontspan en rus.

Nice. Gentle escape from the city with access to a beautiful quiet beach. We were looked after with friendliness, care and respect. Delicious homestyle breakfast enjoyed each morning.

Peace, quiet, beautiful long private beach, high quality restaurant. We spent a lovely few days at Draaihoek Lodge. The peace, quiet and simplicity were exceptional - we appreciated the absence of a TV in the lodges - it adds to the tranquility. We walked for long stretches on Draaihoek's private beach every morning and then again in the afternoons. In the late afternoons and after dinner we relaxed and read in front of the fireplace. The restaurant was a lovely experience, with a very pleasant atmosphere - fireplace, pleasant background music, open kitchen and excellent menu. The dishes were of high quality, with beautiful presentation. This is a high quality restaurant with an excellent chef. Finally, we must specially mention that we appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff so much.

Rustigheid, stilte, pragtige lang private strand, hoë gehalte restaurant. Ons het 'n heerlike paar dae by Draaihoek Lodge deurgebring. Die rustigheid, stilte en eenvoud was besonders - ons het die afwesigheid van 'n TV in die lodges waardeer - dit dra by tot die rustigheid. Ons het elke oggend en dan weer namiddae vir lang ente op Draaihoek se privaat strand gestap. Laatmiddae en na aandete het ons voor die kaggel ontspan en gelees. Die restaurant was 'n heerlike ervaring, met 'n baie aangename atmosfeer - kaggelvuur, aangename agtergrondmusiek, oop kombuis en uitstekende spyskaart. Die geregte was van hoogstaande gehalte, met pragtige opdiening. Hierdie is 'n hoë gehalte restaurant met 'n uitstekende sjef. Laastens moet ons spesiaal noem dat ons die vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid van al die personeel so baie waardeer het.

Nice little place. Very nice place. Friendly people. Mattress in our room is not up to standard. The hotel needs to pay attention to that.

Mooi plekkie. Baie oulike plek. Vriendelike mense. Matrass in ons kamer is nie op standaard nie. Die hotel moet aandag gee daaraan.

Perfect for couples who need to spend quality time together - no TV! It was absolutely fantastic! The breakfast was excellent and the friendly service was wonderful. We never locked our room and always felt very safe.

Perfek vir paartjies wat nodig het om kwaliteit-tyd saam te spandeer - geen TV! Dit was absoluut fantasties! Die ontbyt was uitstekend en die vriendelike diens was wonderlik. Ons het nooit ons kamer gesluit nie en het altyd baie veilig gevoel.
