Friendly, cosy and beautiful.

Our hosts were very friendly, and we loved the spacious room. We had a great view, and the breakfast was delicious. I would highly recommend this venue when staying over in the area.

Serendipity.

Second time at this lodge and it's beyond. So much attention to detail, lots of character and charm, with a touch of boho - my favorite type of decor/design. Breakfast was delicious! Thank you Kerry and her husband for making my husband and me time there truly magnificent. All the best for your future endeavors!

Home away from home.

Met aankoms kon ek my kamer opgradeer vir 'n beter view, een aand bederf met waterblommetjie-bredie.

Home away from home.

On arrival I was able to upgrade my room for a better view, one evening I was treated to water lily stew.

Ongelooflike lekker ontbyt.

Saxon Lodge in Gansbaai se ligging is perfek. Ons was warm verwekom, die kamers is ruim en netjies en die ontbyt is heerlik.

Ons was te kort daar, maar dit wat ons beleef het, was wonderlik.

Oulike plekkie vir 'n rustige wegbreeknaweek.

Did not enjoy a room without a view. We were not advised until on arrival. Not everyone would appreciate it. Recommend installing back up lighting in the rooms for nightfall during load shedding times.

Totally satisfied

We enjoyed our stay from the warm welcome received upon our arrival until we left. The unit which slept 4 was comfortable cosy and sophisticated. The breakfast was simple yet deliciously prepared. Beautiful sea views and if you a runner the rolling hills around the lodge makes for a good morning endurance run. Thank you Caron Dave and your daughter for your hospitality.

Baie aangename verblyf.

Die gasheer en gasvrou was uiters vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Hulle uitstekende tweetaligheid het ons beïndruk. Ons kamer was skoon en netjies met goeie beddegoed en die ontbyt was heerlik! Ons was ongelukkig net vir een aand in Gansbaai, maar sal weer daar gaan bly!

Saxon Lodge 's response

I am sorry our lodge did not meet your expectations. I made a few attempts to come meet you, but you were out. We were fully available in the lodge all the time and you made no effort to come through and meet with us, so I assumed you wanted to be left alone.
The room you booked is on the south side of the lodge which is off the main building and is explained this way on all our channels. It pains me that because you made no effort to engage or experience the lodge you chose to rate all aspects of the lodge in such a negative light in stark contrast to most other guests.
Thank you for staying with us.

Ons het 'n baie aangename verblyf ervaar.

Was vriendelik verwelkom eerstens deur pragtige hondekind en dan personeel. Kamer was ruim en baie gerieflik ingerig. Uitsig was pragtig. Die personeel en bestuur was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ontbyt was regtig baie aangenaam. Daar is bitter min plekke wat 'n eier kan gaarmaak soos mens verwag. Diens by ontbyt was flink!

We had a very pleasant stay.

First received a friendly welcome from the beautiful dog en then the staff. Room was spacious and comfortably equipped. View was beautiful. The staff and management were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really pleasant. There are very few places that can fry an egg the way you expect it to be done. Service at breakfast was smart!

Great ligging, nice plek.

Bestuurder baie aangenaam. Lekker ontbyt, kamer wat ons gehad het 'n bietjie oud en kort opknapping, maar het nie gehinder nie. Kas was baie klein. Gordyne op vensters is lastig en gesukkel om dit oop te kry. Maar, soos gesê het, overall 'n lekker plek.

Great location, nice place.

Driver very pleasant. Nice breakfast, the room we had was a bit old and in need of renovation, but didn't bother. Cabinet was very small. Curtains on windows are cumbersome and difficult to get them open. But, as said, overall a nice place.

Thank you for your review. Dit sal baie help as jy vir my kan se watter kamer dit was waar jy gebly het.Dan kan ons iets doen met die gordyne. Miskien kan jy ook se wat jy sal verwag mt opknapping vir die kamer. Ons is besig mt badkamers vir al die kamers.
