Rustig en stil.

Fantastiese plek. Net die bad is baie nou en die toilet spasie is klein.

Rustig in die natuur.

Ons het 2 nagte daar gebly en dit was absoluut fantasties. Die plek was skoon en netjies en baie ruim, alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was so stil en rustig. Die bergkwaggas loop tussen die huise rond en fisante kom kuier op die stoep.

There's a zebra on your stoep.

The small herd of Cape Mountain Zebra love the grass growing around the suites. They only visit yours when you are not there. Very sneaky, but you can see them from the road when they are visiting you. The coast is a rocky shoreline with plenty of opportunity for fishing, although it was mostly non-edible. One evening, my husband caught 10 sand sharks. Plenty of space to run/walk. There's a lighthouse for great photo opportunities. There is no load shedding backup. Consider taking a small gas burner so you can still cook and make coffee or tea. Remember your torch.

Asemrowende uitsigte en prentjie mooi natuurskoon.

Dit was ʼn fantastiese avontuur, ons het heerlik gerus, gestap en geswem, die omgewing is prentjie mooi en die geriewe in die eenheid was perfek. Ons sal beslis weer by die verblyf gaan vakansie hou.

Pragtige uitsig oor die see. Rustig in 'n ongerepte natuur. Die plantegroei is 'n belewenis.

Ek het baie lekker gebly. Die yskas was nie koud toe dit aangekom het nie. Ek het dit aangemeld en iemand het gekom om te kyk. Die volgende dag het hulle 'n ander yskas gebring. As die yskas reeds aangeskakel was, kon die probleem voorkom gewees het. Die kombuis kort skerpe messe en 'n paar ekstra goed.

Beautiful view of the sea. Peaceful in an unspoiled nature. The vegetation is an experience.

I had a very nice stay. The fridge was not cold when it arrived. I reported it and someone came to take a look. The next day they brought another fridge. If the fridge had already been switched on, the problem could have been prevented. The kitchen lacks sharp knives and a few extras.

Behalwe bg is dit 'n wonderlike plek om te ontspan, rus en die natuur te geniet.

Ons het lekker gebly, maar: 1. Net die kombuis kry son. Die ander kamers is baie koud in die winter. 2. Somerlakens op die beddens was uiters koud in die nag. 'n Elektriese kombers sou 'n groot verskil maak. 3. Daar is geen kussings op die stoele buite nie, en die metaal is baie koud om op te sit. 4. Die skoorsteen van die buitebraai is nie hoog genoeg nie en trek sleg - baie rook in die braai area. 5. Daar was geen groot mes om groente of vleis te sny nie, net 'n broodmes. 6. Daar is nie "sagte" kombuisgereedskap vir die "non-stick" panne nie. 7. Geen whiskeyglase nie. 8. Onvriendelike personeel by ontvangs.

Besides bg it is a great place to relax, rest and enjoy nature.

We had a nice stay, but: 1. Only the kitchen gets sun. The other rooms are very cold in winter. 2. Summer sheets on the beds were extremely cold at night. An electric blanket would make a big difference. 3. There are no cushions on the chairs outside, and the metal is very cold to sit on. 4. The chimney of the outdoor barbecue is not high enough and draws badly - a lot of smoke in the barbecue area. 5. There was no big knife to cut vegetables or meat, only a bread knife. 6. There are no "soft" kitchen utensils for the "non-stick" pans. 7. No whiskey glasses. 8. Unfriendly staff at reception.

Breek weg na 'n ander wêreld.

Gourikwa Nature Reserve is 'n idilliese stukkie hemel, afgesonder van die wêreld. Die Fisherman's Cottages is vêr uitmekaar gespasieer sodat jy voel asof jy alleen in die reservaat is. Dit is loopafstand van die pragtige strand af en die perfekte romantiese wegbreek. Al is daar geen selfoonopvangs nie, is die gratis WiFi vinnig en maklik bruikbaar.

Gourikwa Nature Reserve is an idyllic piece of heaven, cut off from the world. The Fisherman's Cottages are spaced far apart so you feel as if you are alone in the reserve.

Dit was eenvoudig wonderlik om daar te kon ontspan.

Alles met die reëlings het vlot verloop. Die akkommodasie was uitstekend en baie mooi skoon. Die omgewing is 'n lus vir die oog en as iemand 'n plekkie soek om die sorge van die probleme om in Suid Afrika te bly, wil vergeet dan is Gourikwa net die regte plek om vir 'n tydjie te gaan bly.

Rustige omgewing met 'n pragtige uitsig en natuurskoon.

Lekker ekstra-lang langnaweekwegbreek wat ons baie nodig gehad het. Ons het so 3 jaar terug 1 aand saam met vriende by Gourikwa oorgeslaap en wou nog altyd teruggaan. Het die geleentheid gebruik om dorpe in omgewing te verken.

Peaceful surroundings with a beautiful view and scenery.

Nice extra-long long weekend break that we really needed. We spent 1 night with friends at Gourikwa about 3 years ago and have always wanted to go back. Took the opportunity to explore nearby towns.

Daar is nie nog so 'n reservaat in SA wat hom daartoe leen om te kan visvang, stap op wandelpaadjies op die 2500 hektaar of langs 5 km seefront nie. Klaar beplan vir volgende besoek maar net vir langer.

Maak asseblief seker die kliënte gebruik die hoofhek, die GPS neem jou na die weste-hek, en daar is nie selfoonontvangs om die kantoor te bel om die hek oop te maak nie. Die weste-hek was glo jare gelede die hoofhek, maar GPS vat jou steeds soontoe.

Wonderlike ligging!

Het dit baie geniet, die ligging is baie mooi! Daar is wel baie muggies en steekvlieë en bosluise, wees net bedagsaam. Die muggies en steekvlieë is net gedurende September. Die huisies het basiese geriewe. Tussen die kombuis en die slaapkamer is daar nie 'n deur nie, so as jy lig slaap kan die yskas jou dalk pla.

Really enjoyed it, the location is very nice! There are a lot of mosquitoes and biting flies and ticks, just be considerate. The midges and biting flies are only during September.

Uitstekende natuurvakansieligging.

Ons het in die dubbel-suites gebly en die ligging is iets om te beleef. Die eenheid is 'n entjie terug in die oord maar die uitsig is pragtig en kyk ons ook uit oor die see. Die eenheid sluit in DStv en dan al die basiese geriewe vir selfsorg. Met ons aankoms het die DStv nie gewerk, asook die WiFi. Ons het die DStv gerapporteer (daagliks) en kon niemand dit regstel. Ons is darem nie ingestel op TV-kyk maar soms is dit lekker om bietjie TV te kyk as dit reën. Die TV het die heletyd wat ons daar was nie gewerk. Die WiFi werk met tye en met tye nie - dit wil voorkom of die sein maar net redelik swak was in ons eenheid. Die eenheid het ook geen besem of mop gehad, en geen toaster. Ons kon dus nie die vloer uitvee, want dit raak maar sanderig na so 3 dae se strand en in uit in die reën. Buiten hierdie was die eenheid baie lekker en die ligging is iets om te sien.

Excellent nature holiday location.

We stayed in the double suites and the location is something to experience. The unit is a bit back in the resort but the view is beautiful and we also look out over the sea. The unit includes DStv and then all the basic facilities for self-catering. When we arrived, the DStv was not working, as was the WiFi. We reported the DStv (daily) and no one could fix it. At least we're not into watching TV, but sometimes it's nice to watch some TV when it's raining. The TV didn't work the whole time we were there. The WiFi works at times and at times it doesn't - it seems like the signal was just pretty weak in our unit. The unit also had no broom or mop, and no toaster. So we couldn't wipe the floor, because it only gets sandy after about 3 days at the beach and in the rain. Other than this the unit was very nice and the location is something to see.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Elke resensie help ons om op die einde van die dag die reservaat vir almal beter te maak en meneer se terugvoer help ons daarmee. Ons vra onverskoning vir die TV asook die WiFi. Ons sal die skoon maak departement dui daarop dat die eenhede beter gereguleer moet word om seker te maak daar is teen alle tye besems en moppe asook toasters in die eenhede waar dit deel van die toerusting is. Ons hoop om julle weer hier te kan verwelkom.

Peaceful with a great view.

Great spot on a beautiful reserve. Our spot was a bit close to the neighbours. Overall the unit was clean but kitchenware, pots and plates a bit dirty. The reserve also needs a clean up with rubbish and plastic lying around, not a lot, but still visible. For the amount you paying I would expect clean kitchenware and reserve.

Gourikwa Reserve 's response

Thank you for your review, Jean. We appreciate the time you took to help us better our reserve. We will have housekeeping pay better attention to the kitchenware, as for the reserve itself, we try to do clean up as much as possible and to pick up the trash as we go along, unfortunately, we can not yet keep up with the amount that washes out from the ocean. We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your stay and that we will have the pleasure to welcome you again in the near future.

Enigste ding is die reserve is darem baie ver van alles. Geen winkel naby nie. Ekt vergeet dit is self-catering. Al die winkels maak 16:00 al toe so kon nie iets koop vir aandete nie.

Staat gemaak op restaurant wat glad nie oop was toe ons daar was nie en ver om te ry na naaste eetplek.

Ons het een dag vroeër uitgecheck en ook gedink ons kry een van die huisies by die see.

Relying on restaurant that was not open at all when we were there and far to drive to nearest place to eat.

We checked out one day earlier and also thought we would get one of the cottages by the sea.

Liewe Marlize,
Baie dankie vir u terugvoer. Ons vra onverskoning vir die restaurant wat ongelukkig nie oop was in die tyd wat julle gaste by ons was nie. Die ou jaar het baie onvoorsiene hindernisse ingehou. Ons sal die resensie gebruik om al die tekortkominge te probeer oplos en dit vir volgende gaste beter te maak. Ons hoop om julle wel weer in die toekoms by ons te verwelkom.

'n Onbeskryflike mooi en rustige plek met prentjiemooi akkommodasie.

Vir die eerste keer in my lewe het ek 'n vakansie gekry wat ek al lankal gesoek het. Stunning omgewing, rustigheid. Vriendelike personeel. 'n Plek wat ek sal aanbeveel vir almal wat ek ken en weer sal besoek vir 'n vakansie.

Salig, met die geluid van die see en die reuk van bosse!

Van dat ons daar aangekom het was ek aangenaam verras. Vriendelike ontvangs gehad. Alles is mooi verduidelik. Toe ek die deur van die Fisherman's Cottage oopmaak, het dit gevoel asof ek by my huis was. Alles is netjies en skoon en die feit dat elke kamer sy eie badkamer gehad het, was beslis 'n bonus. Ek is net jammer dat ek vir een aand bespreek het! Daar gaan beslis 'n volgende keer wees en beslis vir baie langer. Die rustigheid van die omgewing en die dreuning van die see is 'n geskenk. Enigiemand wat kla, moet dalk daaraan dink dat jy juis daarheen gaan om van die gewone dinge te ontsnap. Die feit dat daar nie selfoonopvangs is nie, maak nie regtig saak nie. Die feit dat daar wel WiFi is, maak 'n verskil. Baie dankie vir die geleentheid om hierdie pragtige deel van ons mooi land te kon ervaar.

Blissful, with the sound of the sea and the smell of woods!

From the moment we got there I was pleasantly surprised. Had a friendly reception. Everything is nicely explained. When I opened the door of the Fisherman's Cottage, it felt like I was at home. Everything is neat and clean and the fact that each room had its own bathroom was definitely a bonus. I'm only sorry I booked for one night! There will definitely be a next time and definitely for much longer. The tranquility of the surroundings and the roar of the sea is a gift. Anyone who complains should perhaps consider that you go there to escape the ordinary. The fact that there is no cell phone reception doesn't really matter. The fact that there is WiFi makes a difference. Thank you very much for the opportunity to experience this beautiful part of our beautiful country.

Beautiful.

Although a beautiful venue and stunning villas, there is a few things they can do to make the stay more enjoyable. There is no place in the shower to put your soap and shampoo etc. It must lay on the floor. There was no information booklet about the place and surrounding areas. So we had no idea how many zebras, what kind of antilope were roaming around or any further details. We were there for 5 nights and didn't know where to put dustbin bags etc. as no information is given. The first night we arrived there was no electricity. No fault of the lodge, and they really redeemed themselves by offering everybody a free breakfast the next morning. A nice stay and beautiful area if you love the outdoors and peace and quiet like we do!

Gourikwa Reserve 's response

Thank you for your review, Erna. We will use this to make our future guests stay better. We are already busy with equipping the units with the new information booklets. We will be speaking to management about a place to put shampoo and soap in the shower as well as a table on the outside of the shower for a vanity for instance. We apologise again for the unfortunate power outage, but we tried to handle it as best we could. We hope to see you again in the future.

Rus en vrede. Gashere wat jou privaatheid respekteer en tog seker maak dat jy alles het en kry wat jy nodig het.

Dit is nie 'n plek vir almal nie. Jy moet die regte geaardheid hê om hier vakansie te hou. Ons behoefte was bos, weg te kom van alles en almal, stilte, vrede en rus, geen winkels of tegnologie, weg van straat en voertuig, geskree en geraas, na net die natuur en veld en die see se klanke om die siel weer te voed. Verras was ons deur die akkommodasie gerief van die vissershuisies asook ons dag en nag dieregaste uit die veld. Van hier kan jy ook omliggende strande en swemstrande besoek.

Rest and peace. Hosts who respect your privacy and yet make sure you have everything and get what you need.

This is not a place for everyone. You have to have the right attitude to vacation here. Our need was forest, to get away from everything and everyone, silence, peace and rest, no shops or technology, away from street and vehicle, shouting and noise, to only nature and field and the sounds of the sea to refresh the soul nourish. We were surprised by the comfortable accommodation of the fishermen's cottages as well as our day and night animal guests from the field. From here you can also visit surrounding beaches and swimming beaches.

Rustig.

Gourikwa kan meer aandag aan kliënte gee en seker maak dat die skoonmaakspanne 1 of 2 keer in mens se week verblyf die eenheid kom skoonmaak. Hulle kan selfs nuwe handdoeke elke 2de dag bring. Die hulp en diens is goed indien jy na die kantoor / ontvangs stap, maar verder sien of hoor jy van geen werknemer. Daar sal aandag gegee moet word aan behoorlike veiligheidsplanne of risikoplanne vir gaste. Daar is geen selfoonsein nie, wat wonderlik is, maar 'n risiko kan inhou. Kan dalk aanbied om mens 1 keer gratis rit deur die oord te neem. Die eenhede is nie behoorlik goed skoongemaak nie, alhoewel dit skoon is, kon mens op die vloer sien dit word selde diep skoongemaak. Die plek is wonderlik en die mense wanneer jy hul sien is behulpsaam, gaaf en vriendelik. Die beddens slaap baie lekker en die kwaliteit van sitkamerstel en meubels is goed! Die kluis was nie oop nie of het nie gewerk nie, maar omdat niemand daar inkom nie is alles veilig. Eenhede is mooi in stand gehou en mooi geverf! Die fisante is interessant en 2 uile wat daar woon is pragtig. Oor die algemeen was alles skoon en netjies en rustig. Definitief 'n plek waar mens sielsrus kry terwyl jy braai en kyk en luister na die branders wat breek op rotse! Die plek is ook redelik sentraal met so halfuur se ry van Mosselbaai en Hartensbos af, asook Stillbaai, Boggemsbaai en Vleesbaai. Jy sal glad nie voel jy word vertrap deur die Transvalers as jy daar in Desember sou vakansie hou nie. Jy kan ook vinnig in die kar spring en op die netjiese en goed instandgehoude teerpad 'n restaurant gaan opspoor by een van die menigte bekende dorpe om jou!

Restful.

Gourikwa can pay more attention to customers and make sure that the cleaning teams come to clean the unit 1 or 2 times during one's weekly stay. They can even bring new towels every 2nd day. The help and service is good if you walk to the office / reception, but do not see or hear from any employee. Attention will need to be paid to proper safety plans or risk plans for guests. There is no cell phone signal, which is great, but can be a risk. Might offer to take one free ride around the resort. The units were not cleaned properly, although they were clean, you could see on the floor that they were rarely deep cleaned. The place is wonderful and the people when you see them are helpful, nice and friendly. The beds sleep very well and the quality of the lounge set and furniture is good! The safe wasn't open or didn't work, but because nobody gets in there everything is safe. Units are nicely maintained and nicely painted! The pheasants are interesting and 2 owls that live there are beautiful. In general, everything was clean and tidy and peaceful. Definitely a place where you find peace of mind while you barbecue and watch and listen to the waves breaking on rocks! The place is also quite central with about half an hour's drive from Mossel Bay and Hartensbos, as well as Stillbaai, Boggemsbaai and Vleesbaai. You will not feel at all that you are being trampled by the Transvalers if you were to holiday there in December. You can also quickly jump in the car and go on the neat and well-maintained tarmac to find a restaurant in one of the many famous towns around you!

Geweldige ontspanning by het geluid van de branders.

Een baie mooie natuurplek so na aan die see. Daar is al wat (volwasse) mense nodig het. Wat vir my baie jammer is: Alles in Engels. Julle mag maar bietjie trots op Afrikaans wees, dis 'n taal. Gelukkig is julle medewerkers in Afrikaans aanspreekbaar.

Great relaxation with the sound of the waves.

A very beautiful natural place so close to the sea. There is everything (adult) people need. Which is very unfortunate for me: Everything in English. You can be a little proud of Afrikaans, it's a language. Fortunately, your colleagues are approachable in Afrikaans.

Baie rustig en stil, lewe kom tot stilstand.

Ons was vir 'n week in Gourikwa, baie vriendelike personeel, skoon en volledige kombuis, alhoewel min voorbereidingsplek in kombuis. Baie mooi natuur. Wel het ons gevind dat die wandelpaaie baie stowwerig was, die strande erg klipperig, ons moes ver ry vir 'n sandstrand. Daar was geen TV soos wel in die advertensie belowe was, maar ons het wel die WiFi geniet.

Very calm and quiet, life comes to a halt.

We spent a week in Gourikwa, very friendly staff, clean and fully equipped kitchen, although little space to prepare food. Very beautiful nature. We found that the walkways were very dusty, and the beaches were very rocky, we had to drive far to find a sandy beach. There was no TV as promised in the advertisement, but we enjoyed the Wi-Fi.

Geboek vir 2 nagte maar net 1 nag gebly.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs, maar dit kan nie opmaak vir die volgende nie: 'Kitchenette' sonder enige borde of ander eetgerei? Braai is beskikbaar, maar kan nie gebruik as daar geen eetgerei is nie? Ons kon nie die restaurant gebruik as 'n alternatief nie, want dit was gereserveer vir 'n troue. Besig om te bou op die perseel en het nie veilig gevoel om alleen daar te wees nie. Uitsig oor die see soos op die webwerf geadverteer is nie die uitsig by alle eenhede nie. As ons bewus was daarvan het ons nie geboek nie. Rommel (toiletpapier en asblikdeksel) voor die eenheid. Bad- en stortwater was donkerbruin gewees.

Booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1 night.

Very friendly reception, but it can't make up for the following: 'Kitchenette' without any plates or other utensils? Barbecue is available but can't use if there is no cutlery? We could not use the restaurant as an alternative because it was reserved for a wedding. Under construction on site and did not feel safe to be there alone. Sea view as advertised on the website is not the view at all units. If we were aware of that we would not have booked. Trash (toilet paper and trash can lid) in front of the unit. Bath and shower water had been dark brown.

Gourikwa Reserve 's response

Hi Andre, Dankie vir jou boodskap. Ons het baie probleme met die kamers waarin julle gebly het siende dat net 5 van die 15 wel kitchenettes in het. Ons begin egter Maandag met konstruksie en gaan vir elke eenheid 'n volledige kombuis in bou met groot yskas, mikrogolfoond en selfs 'n konveksie plaat. Hoop as julle volgende keer kom dan kan julle in die huisies nader aan die see bly. Ons hoop om teen einde September met alle konstruksie klaar te wees en dan kan die lewe terugkeer na normaal. Ek glo julle het egter lekker gekuier nadat ons eetgerei vir julle geneem het.

Totale losmaak van die stadsgewoel.

Gourikwa is een van die netjiesste plekke wat ek in 'n lang tyd gesien het. Die eenhede, swembad-area, restaurant en ontvangs is smaakvol gemeubeleer in 'n styl wat by die see pas. Die kleedkamers in die publieke areas lyk en ruik asof dit splinternuut oorgedoen is. Die restaurant se ontbyte is binne verwagting - ons het nie ander maaltye daar geëet nie. Daar is visserman-huisies vir die ernstige vissermanne, 2-persoon eenhede 800 m van die see af, en 4 - 6 persoon chalets reg op die strand. Ons was in 'n 2-persoon eenheid. Dit was baie ruim, met 'n volledige badkamer, klein kombuisie en stoepie wat oor die see daar ver uitkyk. Vir ons doeleindes (vroegoggend langs die see loop en in rotspoele rondloer) was dit net te ver om te loop (teerpad tussen fynbos deur tot by die see). Ek sal die groter eenhede reg op die strand aanbeveel vir daardie gerief, en ook die see wat letterlik op mens se voorstoep is. Ons was daar in Desember vir 'n paar nagte, en dit was ongelooflik winderig. Die sand is poeierfyn en waai by elke gleufie en skrefie van 'n motor in. Die nabye Gourits-dorpie op die Gouritsmond (12 km met 'n redelike grondpad al langs die see) bied nie veel buiten 'n swemstrand met lewensredders nie. Wees rustig as jy die restaurante wil beproef, want mens wag lank. Stilbaai lê na die ander kant van Gourikwa, en is aan te bevele vir 'n besoek. Ek sal weer na Gourikwa gaan.

Total detachment from the city bustle.

Gourikwa is one of the neatest places I've seen in a long time. The units, pool area, restaurant and reception are tastefully furnished in a style that matches the sea. The changing rooms in the public areas look and smell like they have been redone brand new. The restaurant's breakfasts are within expectations - we did not have other meals there. There are fisherman's cottages for the serious fishermen, 2-person units 800 m from the sea, and 4 - 6 person chalets right on the beach. We were in a 2-person unit. It was very spacious, with a full bathroom, small kitchen and porch overlooking the sea. For our purposes (walking along the sea early in the morning and peeking around in rock pools) it was just too far to walk (tarred road between fynbos to the sea). I would recommend the larger units right on the beach for that convenience, and also the ocean literally on your doorstep. We were there in December for a few nights, and it was incredibly windy. The sand is powder fine and blows into every slot and crevice of a car. The nearby village of Gourits on the Gouritsmond (12 km with a reasonable dirt road all along the sea) does not offer much apart from a swimming beach with lifeguards. Be calm if you want to try the restaurants, because you wait a long time. Stilbaai lies to the other side of Gourikwa, and is recommended for a visit. I will go to Gourikwa again.

Ongelooflike omgewing

Ons het met ons 2-jarige seun vir twee aande hier gebly. Die omgewing is ongelooflik mooi. Gaan stap in die fynbos en ry die paadjies. Daar is baie om te ontdek!

Vanaf ontvangs is dit net 5-ster! Marelize en haar man, Henk, is 'n fantastiese span! Hulle is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die chalet is van die beste - baie netjies en skoon. Al die geriewe en nog meer wat jy nodig het. Ek sal beslis weer gaan en ook mense aanbeveel om te gaan!
