We were only able to stay for 2 nights as they were fully booked, but we wanted to stay for more and we plan to return. Reinhard and Sandra are the most perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble and Sandra gave us so much information. Breakfast was gorgeous, the room was marvellous, and the view was stunning. What more... More

My wife and I needed a special place to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary . We had the privilege to spend a night at crayfish lodge. We will go back again anytime even just to say hallo to Sandra and Reinhard. We can recommend the Crayfish lodge for a lot of reasons but go and see the view from your... More

I am in the hotel industry and the Crayfish Lodge is offering you a very comfortable room, very well designed with an awesome view and perfect service. During the whales season you can see the whales from your room or balcony. The owners of the Lodge, Sandra and Reinhard, welcomed us very nicely and we felt very welcome and look... More

This was a secret tip by a friend and I am so glad we went there. We had a wonderful time at the Crayfish Lodge. The service was amazing and the hosts ever so friendly and welcoming. We had a great room with a view. I could have spent the whole day there just looking out onto the ocean. We... More

We have been to South Africa a number of times and always been surprised by the quality of the properties that we have stayed in, Crayfish Lodge is up there with the very best. We booked a panorama suite not cheap but fantastic value for money, the bathroom was stunning and the views amazing. De Kelders is a little off... More

A fab view! Even before you can properly greet the owners, you cannot help but look out over the sea and the wonderful view. Charming owners too. They cannot do too much for the guests. Comfortable bedrooms and while the suites up top are much more expensive, my friends who opted for one of those rooms, couldn't run out barefoot... More

We stayed at the Crayfish Lodge for two nights. We were in the beautiful top floor suite with a private balcony and wonderful view of the sea and it was magnificent. The owners were charming and very hospitable and the breakfast was as good as described by other reviewers. I would recommend the place without hesitation (and the dinner at... More

Wonderful place to stay in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. I could whale watch from the room. The rooms are beautiful, the owners and staff go out of their way to help, and the breakfast buffet is amazing. You can access the beach and cliff hiking path a brief walk down from the lodge.

This is a fantastic place, right on the seashore, with a fantastic view of the ocean. We had a beautiful morning walk along the beach, leaving straight from our room, along the beaches, and saw whales in the distant. The day after we saw 4 whales playing in the bay, 5 min walking from the lodge. The inside is marvellously... More

We stayed at Crayfish in August 2012 for one night only - we found the place over the internet and did not know what to expect. The lodge is beautiful, with a great communal space with a double height glass wall overlooking the most amazing sea view. We also discovered that the place is actually better than Hermanous for whale... More
