Thank you for your review. Apologies for the Jacuzzi being out of order. The Power relay broke on it and I went early the next day (the morning you checked out) to Cape Town to get a new part. I now have a spare one just in case next time because you cannot source such parts in these areas. Fortunately... More

Thanks for a wonderful stay at The Roundhouse guesthouse. This B&B is so unique and so peaceful, it is highly recommended. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is good value for money. The rooms are very nice and I will stay here again and will recommend it to all that want to stay in Gansbaai.

We arrived at the Roundhouse to some bad news - high winds meant our shark dive for the following day was likely to be cancelled. I was particularly gutted by this as it was arranged for my birthday....But we were told that the diving conditions for the day after were set to be great. How lucky we had planned to... More
