if you want a view from your room of probably one of the most beautiful coastlines, then this is the place to be. We were warmly greeted and the check in was a breeze. The room has decorated with taste and had a huge bath. Our room had a lovely balcony with two chairs and as mentioned you want to... More

Wonderful location right on the top of the dunes with breathtaking views from several rooms and from the terrace which everybody is allowed to use. We had a huge room, tastefully decorated, beautiful bathroom. Very nice hosts, good breakfast. Can absolutely recommend that place and definitely would return.

Stayed two nights with children - given more than ample space, quality service, excellent staff care and super breakfasts. Internet does not reliably reach the cottage at the back of the house at all times but a small difficulty in light of the beautiful setting and other excellent features of the property and owners. I look forward to a reason... More

We stayed here for one night during our Garden Route trip. The owner his very friendly and te room we stayed in was very ok. Huge bath and very nice views on the Ocean. It's just a short walk through the dunes to the great (and quiet) beach. The pool is quite small but who cares with a huge ocean... More

I have changed this subsequently to 10H00. Normally we are more flexible with the check out time on the Guests request. You stayed during our absolute peak... More

When we are going to spend our holidays at the Gardenroute, we always love to stay there. It is the most beautiful, friendly and amazing place. The owner Mathilda and Andre are always so kind and friendly, looking after their guests, let them know which restaurant is good for fresh fish or delicious steak. They tell you where to go,... More

We stayed in dolphin dunes only for a night and were very sad to leave. The rooms has a full sea front view and balcony. They are nicely decorated and very spacious. From the balcony you can walk down on a private staircase to the lovely white beach. We saw an amazing sunset from there....
