Days At Sea Beach Lodge

Staff and location

Didnt have any Merlot from the vast cellar selection but this made up by a very reasonable corkage charge

Location is good and close to the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful and pool was nice and a good size. Parking is secure. Breakfast was good. Decent restaurant nearby.

Room seemed a bit damp. Wifi was sometimes temperamental.

A most beautiful property overlooking the Indian Ocean. Fabulous room decorated with style and every luxury. We enjoyed terrific food and gorgeous wines from a magnificent cellar. Massage and then golf on near-by championship course as good as any we've ever played on in South Africa. But what impressed so much were the staff led by the lovely Adelle. A terrific team.

Nothing. ..if only I could live there!!!

The location has fantastic views and is just a short forest walk from the beach. The venue was very clean, and the room service was very good. Concerning the sea views there are few places that can compete.

The food at the venue was not to 5-star quality at all and need massive improvement to make it worthwhile. The food was by far my biggest disappointment on the trip. The venue is also needing a little bit of TLC with wooden decks needing replacement and paint needed in various places. The room decor was done in a modern way, but this made the lounge set in my room very uncomfortable to sit on and basically made the lounge a no-go area.

Staff

Spa under construction, hotel needs in general some renovation.Price too high for what we got in return.For that price not having Backup Power in case of loadshedding...

Spacious suite and lounge/dining area with great views of the ocean (whales splashing in the distance). Fantastic food cooked by Abigail. Personal service from the whole team.

A few minor things getting slightly tired.

Excellent breakfast with fruit, cereal, several options for cooked breakfast.Good generator, water, wifi - not always guaranteed on South Coast.Decent wine selection, dinner good and we appreciated the kitchen's flexibility to cater to my son's preferences.Amazing location with fabulous view of the ocean

More options for simple meals - eg if we didn't want a big meal - eg quick snack at lunchtime or to cater to picky eater

What an awesome getaway. The property is as stunning as the images imply with great views of the ocean and clean rooms. The gardens are so beautiful. It looked and felt like summer in July. The staff is super friendly and attentive.Great views with a short adventure walk to the beach.Definitely worth the trip.

He location is superb. The driveway from the main road to the lodge provide perfect sight seeing.The sea view and walk way to the beach from the room is excellent

location is special and exceptional staff - Cindy and her team in essence make this lodge worth our stay. We traveled some distance and were rewarded by a warm reception and a clean SUV the next day! Huge space especially for Honeymoon suit and lovely breakfast. The staff are by far the greatest asset of the establishment.

Although our stay was very short I believe it was enough to make some telling conclusions. Regrettably, I believe it must be said that this venue may have won luxury awards in the past but is clearly in need of a capital injection by the owners to be able to justify the prices charged presently. Possibility a perfect storm of COVID, Riots and south coast infrastructure issues may have had a tougher effect on business preventing the required upkeep by owners to justify their high end prices in 2023. Yes they achieved many accolades in years past (much of this is advertised) and possibly their prices were justified then but compared to competitors I think they are pricing themselves out of the market for what they offer. The quality of the finishes in the honeymoon suite I believe should be better for a 5 star establishment, touches like the photographic art (faded) decor (dated) etc show up a business still dining out on a reputation made years ago. Supper was fine…but again at R300 p/p one would have expected more. Alchohol was crazy expensive as well.

Beautiful place and clean, friendly staff

I liked everything

Great location on the beach. Room was very big. lovely sea views and access to beach. Amazing Breakfast every morning. Staff were kind and helpful. would definitely visit again.

Location was excellent, secluded and private. great views and proximity to beach.great infrastructure but poorly maintained and dilapidated.

Shocking service from the host and manager. Rooms smelled damp and was very dirty, The bedding and pillows smelled so bad we could not sleep.bathroom was in a bad state. shower door/taps/fittings/toilet were all broken or loose.room curtain rail was loose and curtains were hanging.We scheduled a couples massage in the spa 3 weeks in advance but were told only when we arrived that one of the masseuses didn't turn up so they can only do one of the massages. The manager responded very rudely when we declined this.Breakfast service took 90 minutes, 60 minutes worth of waiting time which made us late for check out.

The breakfast was not only good, but more than enough. The team went out of their way to make our stay memorable and exceeded all expectations. Thanks for going the extra mile.

There was nothing that we didn't like. It was a luxurious, beautiful and exceptionally relaxing. We felt like we were away for a much longer time, even though it was just a short breakaway.

This is truly a hidden gem, we stayed in the exquisite honey moon suite, the views of the ocean are breath taking, we actually were lucky enough to spot some dolphins and a whale from our balcony! Private access to the beach was an absolute bonus. Overall privacy was exceptional, we didnt even have to close our curtains ever. The staff was amazing, always ready to serve with a smile. The art work all around us amazing. Definitely would come back.

The food and drinks were rather pricey

Some of the staff were great, helpful and friendly. The location is good. The breakfasts were good.

When I spend R3000 per night and have a loose toilet that I requested twice to be fixed and was assured it would be and it was not after four nights, and Cindy then wants to argue about it I lose my patience. She also assured us that the chef was excellent, and we decided to have dinner. Dinner was exceptionally poor. We enjoyed the venue three years ago, but pillows need to be replaced. Ours were not and were lumpy and past their due date. Being served by a lady whose jeans were a size too small and the zipper only came up halfway should not happen in a "Five Star" venue. There are areas in need of renovation, such as the woodwork outside. Our last night we changed rooms since we decided to stay one more night. There was not a single comfortable seat. There is better value to be had.

Everything. It’s such a unique , exquisite property. It’s along the coast and has private access to the beach. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable especially the day bed. The infinity pool is stunning and very private which is lovely. We also got to do a couples massage which was in the most beautiful spa in the middle of the forrest.The food was exceptional, the staff were all welcoming and lovely the entire weekend. This was our second visit to the lodge and 10/10 as always. We will certainly be visiting again. There are also so many activities to engage in outside of the property.

Nothing. 10/10

The view was spectacular. Cindy, Sizwe and Abigail were exceptional hosts. Very attentive and they made our stay remarkable. Oh and our favorite place was the wine cellar.

What an amazing place and amazing people. Loved everything! Felt at home. The staff were fantastic. Big genuine smiles, always there to assist. Very welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend to any traveller. Rooms were perfect, and very comfortable and stunning.Thank you to management and team for making our stay memorable .
