Nader aan die see gaan jy nie sommer kry nie.

Ons en ons worshonde kon nie vir meer gevra het nie. Dis veilig omhein vir die honde, en jy is op die strand as jy die hekkie oopmaak. Die huis is koud (dis winter), maar elke vertrek het 'n verwarmer, en daar is meer as genoeg komberse. En die see-uitsig is ongelooflik. Talita is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons sal definitief weer gaan.

You won't get any closer to the sea.

We and our dachshunds couldn't have asked for more. It's safely fenced for the dogs, and you're on the beach when you open the gate. The house is cold (it's winter), but every room has a heater, and there are more than enough blankets. And the sea view is amazing. Talita is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go again.

A visit to paradise.

My wife and I spent four days at Far Niente with my parents, and it was wonderful. The house is located right on the beach, which meant we were able to go for a lovely stroll every day. We had dogs, so the closed garden worked well. The local hosts, Mike and Taletha, looked after us well and made check-in easy. I look forward to my next stay!

Vakansieweek.

Vriendelike ontvangs, baie netjies en skoon, maar die uitsig is die heel beste! Hulle kan dit dalk oorweeg om die DSTv-pakket op te gradeer, veral vir die koue reënerige dae wil jy darem 'n fliek of sport kyk.

Holiday week.

Friendly reception, very neat and clean, but the view is the very best! They might consider upgrading the DSTv package, especially for the cold rainy days you at least want to watch a movie or sport.

Amazing and too short stay.

Wonderful location on the beach and not far from the restaurants. Accommodation are large and comfortable. We'll come back asap. Thanks to the owners.

Far Niente Beachfront Guesthouse 's response

Dear Bruno and Family. Thanks so much for your kind words. They are very much appreciated. We have always strived to make Far Niente a "home from home" for all our guests and friends. For this is what it always was, and still is, for 5 generations of my family ever since my Oupa van Schalkwijk (a doctor from Graaff-Reinet) built it in 1933.
Kind regards and blessings. Geoff

Fantastic views of the sea from the bedroom and outdoor space.

Great location, near shops and restaurants and the views on the sea from the apartment is awesome. She was a good hostess, helpful and friendly.

Baie goeie ligging op die strand en naby baie restaurante geleë.

Al negatief was dat die beligting in die eenheid verbeter kan word, al die vertrekke is redelik donker, maar die ligging is puik, net af met die trappies tot op die strand, en jy kan ook winkels toe stap. Die absolute pluspunt is dat dit dierevriendelik is, en het goed gewerk met 'n lekker grasperk voor die eenheid en goed omhein.

Very good location on the beach and close to many restaurants.

Only negative was that the lighting in the unit could be improved, all the rooms are quite dark, but the location is great, just down the steps to the beach, and you can also walk to the shops. The absolute plus is that it is pet friendly, and worked well with a nice lawn in front of the unit and well fenced.

Fantastic home away from home with superb location.

We had a super time at Far Niente. The location is first prize, literally right on the beach, which was great for taking long walks with the dogs or just lazing on the patio watching the world go by. It is a place we would happily return to as everything was as expected with great hosts.
