[guest_Days-At-Sea-Be, 26/01/2012] This was a magic holiday with the most beautiful ocean views and ambiance. We really appreciated all the efforts and all the extra miles to make our stay unforgettable. Thanks for the excellent food and wine experience and for arranging to meet the other guests from France. They also were very enthusiastic about Days At Sea. We will be back in July and maybe we can meet the artist-owner?
From us you have 101 points from 100!
[sameh111, 19/12/2011] Art Gallery is the most disturbing place I visited in Johannesburg, I love drawing a lot and the board painted When iwent to this show ifound a stunning paintings I liked a lot. The exhibition consists of 15 Hall contains drawings and paintings from ancient times and eras also addressed from many countries. but the bad aspects that I did not like is the congestion at the existing commercial center that is the hall of Arts and the presence of public transportation and annoying street vendors and also I think there are thieves there is also Prices ticket was too high .
I do not like to go there

[sameh111, 18/12/2011] The Planetarium of the most important tourist destinations in South Africa it is place suitable for both children .the adults visit lasted about two hours, concerning possible and other things. everything was awesome and the people was very nice and helpful. we went to the Planetarium on Sunday, but unfortunately they were closed so we went the next day but it was too crowded. Seating is comfortable, the information provided extremely interesting, and the stars are beautiful. I think that the Johannesburg Planetarium makes for an educational and fun visit..

[sameh111, 12/12/2011] Of the most beautiful places that I visited in Johannesburg Is FNB Soccer City Stadium Known The city is a large sports stadiumit is the largest in Africa.
I did not visit this place before, but I have heard much about it by the establishment of football matches . I wished to see one of famous football players, but unfortunately I did not see one of them but whatever the case was a special day with my family enjoyed very much.
[GuidoM, 07/12/2011] This was the most disappointing stay at Western Cape, ZA we had ever !
We booked the pricy penthouse incl. a rooftop outside pool. Looked great on their website, but:
-Pool is dirty, water cold as ice
-No cleaning of room for 2 days, no refresh of amenities, towels etc
-Loveless, simple breakfast on 1 level, totaly un-qualified service
-Neighbourhood is complete fenced & hightech-secured Ocean Palms has brocken doors / fittings etc. - No security.
This is a loveless & cost focused operated house, posing to be as a 5 Luxury Guesthouse.
[ricksallee, 20/11/2011] Hospitality at its best! Suites are spacious and immaculate some with balconies and a wonderful view of the "heads". Located in a residential area but about 5 minutes from shopping ,restaurants and activities.Ross recommended "Firefly" as an evening restaurant and it will will likely surprise you with food and service,in a good way. The service at Villa Afikana is smart efficient and done in the most friendly way. Ross and Bianca run a 5 star guest house and the best we visited in 6 weeks of travellng South Africa.
[sydney_b, 19/09/2011] As there are many nice shops and restaurants on Kloof Street, I was not surprised to find that The Opal Lounge was yet another good find. I was surprised however, at just how good it was! The restaurant, which deems itself "Cape Town's most beautiful restaurant" did in fact present some of the most beautifully arranged, melt-in-your-mouth dishes I've ever seen / tasted. That said, I was not as impressed by the restaurant's decor. The dishes presentation were extremely modern and minimalistic, however the restaurant itself felt outdated and a bit formal. Either way, the atmosphere was still enjoy

[sydney_b, 19/09/2011] This Relais & Châteaux property lives up to its reputation. The experience of staying here makes you feel as though you are in the heart of Africa. Between the exotic gourmet meals, safaris and breathtaking views overlooking Addo Elephant Park, it's hard to beat. It's all in the details, and this hotel has the details covered, down to the hot water foot warms placed strategically under the blankets at the foot of each bed. Make sure to head down to the restaurant patio at lunch to see many elephants, zebra, warthogs, etc. enjoying their time at the nearby watering-hole. Don't forget your camer

[sydney_b, 16/09/2011] The 9km drive up to Chapman’s Peak, which winds between Hout Bay and Noordhoek, is one of the most scenic I've seen in the world. The Breathtaking viewpoint is even better when seen at sunset. If you're planning a trip to Cape Town, making the trip to Chapman’s Peak is worth adding to the itinerary.
[sydney_b, 16/09/2011] The Neighbourgoods Market located within the Old Biscuit Mill in Cape Town's Woodstock district is one of my favorite spots. The hustle and bustle of local South Africans and a few lucky tourists can be found every Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. With everything from native South African snacks such as Biltong to clothes made by local designers, to hand jarred-jams and even early afternoon drinks, this is the place to be on Saturday mornings.
[sydney_b, 16/09/2011] Although Long Street is where most tourists frequent when going out for a night on the town, the nearby Kloof Street is where the locals go. My favorite spot on the street? Asoka Bar. I was lucky enough to find this place just a few days before leaving my six-month stay in Cape Town, my only regret was not finding it sooner! This intimate, low lit, chic tapas bar is just the right mix of African zest and Spanish flavor. I was lucky enough to be there for Tuesday Jazz Night, which was perfectly paired with the delicious tapas and exotic cocktails.
[HeikeThieme, 12/09/2011] How nice is this place! You cannot go wrong with this tip. Maybe it was even better as the owners have been there, but the last two days without them it was as good as before. They are all so fuzzy about everything and you feel that they lived on Ibiza island, Spain. Nothing to complain about and the food is xxx+.
[NadineMCG, 01/09/2011] I absolutely loved my stay at 3 Palms! - Gert made it feel like it was my home away from home straight away. His hospitality was exemplary - warm, hospitable and ensuring that i was settled in and happy. The property is beautiful and spacious, catering for winter nights with a beautiful fireplace as well as warm, snug comforters for snuggling on the coach watching TV. The garden has a fabulous heated pool, which i will definitely be back to try out in summer! I also have to mention their two gorgeous dogs - Lucy and Woody, who welcome you in, and give a personal escorted tour to the cottage. I

[WHampe, 10/08/2011] We are keen golfers and travelling the world. The Days At Sea is a small Boutique Hotel with a direct access to an unspoilt beach(blue flag beach!) and several golf courses around the corner.
The helpful manager made our tee-off times and the golf in this area is maybe the best in South Africa. We enjoyed every single day in this gem of a hotel from breakfast to massages and dinners. There was a small group of italian celebreties who were very humble and easy going. Everybody was raving about the suites and the food. We give them 6 stars! The suites all are picture perfect view and we were ver

[artemodern, 02/08/2011] They projected Amy Winehouse in concert on the lounge's wall. How cool is this!!!!? We met people from New York and we were having a fantastic memory party. What a beautiful contempory place- we loved it and will come back and tell all our friends. Extraordinary vibe.
[huepper, 31/07/2011] We had a wonderful travel through South Africa. After Cape Town, Garden Route and a Game Lodge in KZN we were really very much surprised about all the beauty the country has to offer. On Trivago we found the Days St Sea Beach Lodge but no links to any tour operators. So we booked directly on the Lodge's website.A friend recommended the hotel and we just wanted to relax before flying back to Europe. We did not expect to have one of the highlights saved for the end. It was absolutely perfect. The Lodge is like paradise, the food the best we had(unfortunately we gained 2 kgs as we could not st

[altamoda, 29/07/2011] What a waste! You have one of the most wonderful location and a view to dream on arrival it starts with an unfriendly guard at the gate. Then we had to wait for a shuttle for a while. They drive you down the hotel and the outside does not look very impressive. We were sent to the reception, where we waited for the manager. Finally she showed up and was a bit hectic. She showed us the lounge and restaurant which is nicely designed maybe all too beige and brown. But from there you had already the most fantastic view but when you go out onto the terrace it is breathtaking!
The rooms were nice wit

[KarinLehmann, 14/07/2011] This hotel is really wonderful. It is winter in SA but dry season at the South Coast and maybe the most beautiful time.Blue sky, warm and sunny, whales and dolphins are jumping- absolutely fantastic! You sit on your spacious terrace and watch - this is like at cinema.For chilly nights they have underfloor heating, first class huge beds with the best linen, breakfast in bed and complimentary unlimited Nespresso which we like so much. The suites are nicely designed and the staff is decent and very friendly. We played some golf on empty courses without any waiting time.Days At Sea had a huge wine

[profweber, 10/07/2011] We arrived late afternoon on a beautiful sunny day but very tired. The very friendly german manager Katja welcomed us with a glass of perfectly chilled french champagner and showed us our suite Inyoni, big enough to stay forever and with the perfect ocean view. The sound of the gentle breakers will be always in our memory. After we recovered from our journey, we went to the Frangipani lounge where nicely dressed up guests were filling Guido's Bar for sundowners. Everybody talked to each other and we felt bewitched and relaxed. The food and the wine recommodations were excellent and so well pre
