Guest house Melkhoutkloof Guest House

3 Gans Lane , 6500 Outeniqua Strand, South Africa –

Lock in a great price for Melkhoutkloof Guest House - rated 9.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

It is a spacious, purpose-build, traditional guest house. It’s location half way up the hill gave us a fantastic view of the sea. Bird watching at the property and the owners’ knowledge was a bonus. The delicious breakfasts were artistically presented each morning. Our charming hosts were very helpful booking us restaurant tables and the local safari.

Sheila, United Kingdom

Friendly hosts. Even all the guests enjoyed the friendly chat over a very good breakfast meal. Very calm atmosphere. Very safe.

Sonja, South Africa

It was a most enjoyable experience. The hosts, Adri and JB were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. The view from our balcony was great. We would most definitely stay there again.

Wilna, South Africa

Excellent view and location. Thank to JB and Adri for the great hospitality.

Arnelia, South Africa

Breakfast very tasty with home made quiche. Other detail on the breakfast is your country flag in your seat .

Leo, Brazil

We stayed upstairs with a balcony and had a beautiful view of Mosselbay. The breakfasts were always a treat, with a lot of effort put in to make it special each day. The beach is a short 10 - 15 minutes walk (rather steep, but not too bad), or 1 minute drive. Plenty to do in the area.

Hendrik, South Africa

The layout of the house gives you the feeling of being in a home but with your own privacy.

Christopher, South Africa

The personal touch of the owners. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home.

Josephine, South Africa

The friendliness of the staff and the warm atmosphere is fantastic. The facility is nice and clean and the breakfast was very good. The people at the guesthouse was very helpful and the warm welcoming must be mentioned.

Andre, South Africa

The owners are real cuties! They gave us good hints and told interesting stories about Namibia as well as recommended so far the best restaurant in South Africa (Trans Karoo). The breakfast was delicious but we will not spoil the surprise :P Thank you!
