A very nice property just a couple of streets back from the beach.
Downside to the property is no air conditioning.

Stayed in a self contained apartment, not front line sea as the hotel. Bad smell in general in the apartment. O manager on site and the staff was not to helpful
Brigitta
Second time we stayed at Gonana, right on the beach. Nice firm bed, hot breakfast. Would be nice to have a small fridge in the bedroom to keep water cool on the hot day.
Anytime self service upstairs at the breakfast/ lunch area.
Definitely, we will be back

Guesthouse is located at a great location, walk out and you will see the beach. Staff is friendly and helpful, great communication via email when we book. Check-in was a little bumpy as they staff does not seem to know we are checking-in and when we mention about the booked kayak, they gave vague response to where we should go.
Rooms is lovely, clean and love the towels! But the Public Space is just above the rooms and you will hear creaking sound through the ceiling almost the whole day, especially in the morning when the staff get ready for breakfast.

Excellent accommodation with great service
We stayed in the one bed self catering house which was very good but if I returned I would try to stay in the guesthouse itself
Service amazing , great place to spend a few days

This property is amazing. It couldn't be in a more relaxing location, with private beach access and located in a quiet street. It is decorated beautifully, the breakfast is delicious, and the staff are so accommodating. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to relax, enjoy the peace and quiet, and wake up to a beautiful view of the sea.

Good for the soul
Tge staff was exceptional! They are welcoming, friendly and helpful.
The breakfast is a variety of hot and cold options with freshly baked goods.
The rooms were comfortable and warm.
Our doggies enjoyed their stay.
The main house has a beautiful lounge where one can have sundowners overlooking the beach.

We had a sea view room where you walked out the door and you were on a beautiful pristine beach. Great breakfast which was included.
Hendrik
A gem of a place! Beautifully situated and the room was pristine with charming touches and lovely amenities! The breakfast was surprisingly scrumptious and the service excellent!
Jane
Surprised by surprises
It was surprising as we didn’t expect stairs but we managed ok.
We were not seaview because we were in a cottage and not the lodge. Also surprising.
Nice and clean and serviced daily. Friendly staff
They wanted a large breakage deposit. Also surprising

Beautiful accomodation on the beach. It was very cold though and no blankets provided. Also except noise as people come and go from rooms overhead as the floorboards creak and sound travels.
Could have used thicker towels the minimalism wasnt always practical.

Magical time at the ocean
Amazing guest house directly at the ocean, amazing views, Thandi did an amazing job and went the extra mile when we wanted to do crayfish. The breakfast was sensational. The house is magical and the setting amazing :-)
