This was such a great time. I will definitely be going back. Caron & Dave made me feel right at home!!! People that know what is going on in their surroundings and know how to treat guests. I loved it and will for sure be recommending them to ANYONE who goes to Gansbaai. Thank you so much for everything.

To celebrate our first year together, my boyfriend had planned for us to head away from the city for the weekend and for our second night away we decided to wing it and booked in to the saxon lodge which turned out to be such a beautiful, quaint and friendly place to be in.

This place was GREAT! We arrived late after some driving detours, but were greeted with such warmth and hospitality, I felt like I arrived home! We had a message from our shark diving organization, and the manager (the owner was out, but was just as nice via email) helped us to call them back and figure things out. Then, she... More

We spent a wonderful weekend at this very charming and cosy guesthouse. Our hosts Dave and Caron were attentive and always ready to help with any information needed. The view from our room was picture perfect with a working harbour and fishing boats. Breakfast was wonderful and served piping hot (something that you don't often find) and the service very... More
