Perfect location for staying and whale watching.We booked the superior suite with overlooking the ocean. The interior of this B&B is artificial and the place is quiet and relaxing. Jonathan, the owner of this place , is a fantastic host, helpful and an outstanding cook. We enjoyed an outstanding five course dinner with bubble and corresponding wine . Janeen was really helpful in trying to find solutions for alternatives because our Whale Tour was cancelled because of to much wind. We have already booked 3 days for next year at this amazing place.

Dit is echt een fantastisch guesthouse!! Prachtige locatie, schitterende kamers met zeezicht en heel vriendelijke gastheer Jonathan! Jonathan is een fantastische kok, die een 5-6 gangenmenu maakt met bijpassende wijnen! Eén grote verwennerij! We hebben er een fantastisch verblijf gehad en kunnen het iedereen aanraden! Zoek niet verder......this is the place to be! Met een beetje geluk zwemmen de walvissen voor de deur!!

Benguela turned out to be a lovely B&B, with a comfortable large room overlooking the ocean. It's high on a hill in a suburban part of town (Gansbaai and de Kelders), so very quiet and relaxing. Jonathan, who runs the place, is a fantastic host, not just charming and helpful, but an outstanding cook. He provides a whole dinner party each night (by prior arrangement) and serves a five course meal which is simply outstanding (and very very good value. Gansbaai itself has a surprising number of excellent restaurants, and there are many more outstanding restaurants nearby in the town of Stanford. We had a great stay (early January 2024) and will always remember it.

What an amazing find. We spent 3 nights here. Such a lovely place. Jonathan was so nice as were his staff. Breakfast was delicious and all very fresh food. Very clean. Such a lovely home. The area is beautiful. Perfect if you like walking. We will definitely be back.

A very pleasant house with a lovely host in Jonathan. Beautiful breakfast to set you up for the day and a lovely room which was spacious and a very nice bathroom, even though it takes an age for the water to heat up. The bedroom has curtains but no nets, so you have to draw the curtains for privacy which blocks out the light and the lovely views, and people do walk past. There is no tv which didn’t bother us, but for those who do it might be an issue. If there is no evening meal you have to cab/drive into town, I recommend the “Blue Goose”. There is a walkable pub but it’s fairly basic. Lots of lovely walls and the area is beautiful and safe.
