Too nice to want to go home. The rooms are very modern and tastefully decorated. It is very clean and tidy. The guesthouse is located very close to the beach and in a very quiet and safe area. A supermarket and restaurant are within walking distance. Thank you for the delicious snacks and delicious coffee in the rooms.

Te lekker om te wou huistoe gaan. Die kamers is baie modern en smaakvol ingerig. Dis baie skoon en netjies. Die gastehuis is lekker naby aan die strand en in 'n baie stil en veilige area geleë. 'n Supermark en restaurant is binne loopafstand geleë. Dankie vir die lekker snoeperye en heerlike koffie in die kamers.

Would definitely recommend it. Was very peaceful and walking distance from the sea. Was welcomed friendly and would definitely recommend it.

Sal dit definitief aanbeveel. Was baie rustig en loopafstand van die see. Was vriendelik verwelkom en sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Definitely worth it, in every aspect. Would choose Hamerkop House as my choice. Amazing accommodation, very close to the most beautiful beach. Accommodation was neat, clean, convenient and very quiet. We had a wonderfully relaxing 4 days, and would have definitely stayed longer if we had the opportunity.

Privacy, lack of seaview was disappointing. Nice and neat. There is no sea view from the accommodation and to get to the beach, you have to walk on a plot where there is no passage. Then you have to walk through the field where there is a sign saying watch out for snakes. We did not walk to the beach too early or too late. We assume places are safe, but the vehicle is parked outside under no cover. We would also have liked to have had a kettle to make our own coffee, where there was only a Nespresso machine. There was only 1 teaspoon and nothing that you could use in the microwave even if there was one. The fact that you could not see the beach from the accommodation was a disappointment and it was not at all comfortable to walk through the field with the warning of snakes. There was also not really complete privacy, because you could clearly hear the conversations of people next door.

Privaatheid gebrek aan seaview was teleurstellend. Mooi netjies. Daar is geen see uitsig vanaf blyplek en om by die strand uit te kom, moet jy op perseel loop waar daar staan geen deurgang. Dan moet jy deur die veld loop waar daar 'n bordjie is wat sê pasop vir slange. Ons het nie te vroeg of te laat strand toe geloop nie. Ons neem aan plekke is veilig, maar die voertuig staan buite onder geen afdak. Ons sou ook graag 'n ketel wou gehad het om ons eie koffie te maak, waar daar net 'n Nespresso-masjien was. Daar was net 1 teelepel en niks wat mens in die mikrogolf kon gebruik al was daar een. Die feit dat mens die strand nie kon sien vanaf die woonplek was 'n teleurstelling en dit was glad nie gemaklik om deur die veld met die waarskuwing van slange te loop nie. Daar was ook nie regtig volkome privaatheid nie, want jy kon die gesprekke van persone langsaan duidelik hoor.

Dear Fritz, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay didn’t fully meet your expectations. Hamerkop House offers a peaceful setting within easy walking distance of the beach, though there isn’t a direct sea view. The snake sign is simply a precaution for guests’ awareness of the natural surroundings. Each room has its own private entrance and courtyard, and we offer safe, free on-street parking. Two of our rooms also include full kitchen facilities for guests who prefer self-catering. We appreciate your comments about the kitchen essentials and will ensure everything is well stocked in future. We’re glad you found the accommodation neat and tidy, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Johan Hamerkop House

Exceptional, clean, modest. Johan and Denise are very friendly and kind people. The rooms were exceptional - very clean and modest. The kitchen/braai area is very nice with everything that you need. I will 100% recommend Hamerkop House to anyone looking for accommodation in that area. Definitely value for money! Nice touch was the complimentary cheese platter and bottle of wine for each room upon arrival.
