Wow, where to start. The location is perfect, we saw whales every morning from the comfort of our bed. The breakfast is excellent, the staff friendly and helpful. Lots of walking trails benches to sit on, an excellent experience.

The tea and coffee, rusks were not replenished everyday, but it is a small thing compared to the value received. The photos do not do justice to the type of room booked. I ended canceling the double room with a balcony because I could not tell if it had a sea view. The double room has the best view and the other room was considerably smaller.

The views are spectacular, the location of the guest house is superb easy access to go to town to visit Franskraal, Hermanus and all other surrounding areas. I stayed in a very expensive hotel near the waterfront in Capetown and that was very underwhelming compared to the guesthouse the food the room the service was way better at Sea Star Cliff. Absolutely love this accommodation would stay there every time that's for sure. We travel a lot in SA and have stayed at many Guesthouses and this is the absolute best. The pictures you see on the various platforms om this guest house is exactly what you get. Well done to the owners lots of heart and soul in this accommodation.

There is nothing that i didnt like everything is perfect thats for sure

Superb location - best views. Along with another couple we took over the two penthouse room / suite - this gave us an enormous rooftop area to move sunbeds / chairs and watch the sunset in complete privacy. Rooms were spacious and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff extremely friendly. Good breakfast. Quiet location (in January! Not sure so quiet in whale watching season?) Recommend pre booking local restaurants as very few within a 20 minute drive.

Not too sure about the shared rooftop if unknown guests in other penthouse as extremely open space with potential to see in to the other room. The reflective windows could do with a refresh as could see in to some rooms.

Staff were friendly and obliging, good range of things on offer for breakfast, excellent sea views from the rooms, good beds,

Routine maintenance for the building is lacking - taps that don’t work, tiles coming away from tue wall in the showers, acoustic ceiling tiles detaching from the ceiling in the hallway, hot water not working in some rooms. Inconsistent tv facilities between the rooms, doors that rub against the frames when you open and close them, fabric coming off chair in the penthouse room... You don’t expect issues like this when you are paying these amounts for rooms.

Stunning location with the most amazing views, great terraces and a pool, parking in front of hotel, very quiet Beautiful designed, stylish spacious hotel rooms with comfortable beds Great breakfast with anything you can wish for Very friendly, attentative staff with a great attention to detail and very helpful I hope we can come back here.

Sea Star Cliff is a guesthouse in De Kelders near Gansbaai. It is right at the seashore and we have watched the whales from our balcony - the view on the bay is fabulous. We travelled the Western Cape for 5 weeks (14 hotels) and this was one of the two best hotels we stayed in. The rooms are very spacious, luxurious and tastefully decorated, with comfortable beds. The rooms have the usual facilities, with an airco. Bathroom is large and comfortable too. There is a coffee-/tea machine, and a fridge with complimentary water bottles. Wifi is good, but does not work during ‘load shedding ‘. Breakfast is very good and starts at 8:00. They do have a very good cappuccino, and Dumisani even managed a cappuccino during load shedding. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. You can park your car behind the hotel.The parking area is not locked with a gate, but staff assured us it was safe.

Breakfast was superb thank you for the eggs Benedict The view Bed was comfortable Location Service was all really amazing and will be back.

The tv is outdated and nespresso coffee would be nice. Quality coffee is always great. The toilet in luxury suite is not comfortable to use. No leg space. Tv in other room was not user friendly. Tap on other room said out of order. Towel heater wasn’t working. Very inconvenient in the winter time esp. Shower floors are very slippery esp for elderly guest.

Our room was fabulous! The dining room and general decor were detailed and beautiful. The staff were super friendly, efficient, and highly trained. The location was perfect! We saw SO many whales from the pool deck. Lovely walks along the clifftop, but without the crowds of people you experience in Hermanus. We will definitely be back.

Everything was perfect, except from the wine /cooler/ drinks fridge in the dining room nit working properly.

This hotel was so beautiful - the pictures don't do it justice! Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, room has the most incredible view, rooms are clean and modern. Located opposite the beach where we watched whales and orcas. There is a quick hike to a cave a couple minutes drive away. About 10 minutes from town where there are a few restaurants and most activities (whale watching, shark diving etc). Breakfast was exceptional - warm options, great coffee and a great spread. Cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Nothing - absolutely perfect

The most exceptional service offered by the entire team which I have never come across. Everyone is happy and helpful. Dumisani is a Super, Jack of all Trades. He goes all out to make everyone happy. He smiles all the time and assures you of the best on everything he does. He has a great team determined to make everyone's stay memorable. He has everything in place and made sure that since he doesn't offer dinner, he will give you options, map, time to get there and even book a table on your behalf.

Everything was superb. Can't complain
