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.

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.

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. It is walking distance from the beautiful beach and the perfect romantic getaway. Even though there is no cell phone reception, the free WiFi is fast and easy to use.

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.

Thank you for your review, Jean. We appreciate the time you took to help us better our reserve.

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.

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.

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!

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.
