Perfect for Shark Diving
Great place. Clean, friendly and good facilities in the room. Local area has no restaurants or bars so I would recommend a car if you plan to go out, but location is perfect for anyone who has booked shark diving. Just a 5 minute drive to the port. Although no restaurant can be easily overcome with a self prepared meal in the kitchen eaten the balcony enjoying the views over the bay. Great stay. Thanks.

Terrible stay
We arrived after a long drive and were informed our reservation was for the next night. I confirmed that our reservation was indeed for Dec. 14.. We were taken to our cottage which was hot, stuffy and absolutely alive with mosquitoes. We couldn't open the windows as there were no screens and had to fumigate the place with bug spray. Didn't sleep at all. There was no air conditioning and the fans just blew the hot air around. To top it off, this is listed as a Bed and a breakfast on hotels.com and their own website and road signs. They didn't serve breakfast! Only had instant coffee in the room, that was it!

The host, Dave, was very helpful and friendly. There were more common facilities than we expected (hot tub, ping pong, pool table, etc) and this was a very nice value.

Relaxation!
Pleasant stay. Friendly and accomodating staff. Phone number listed on hotels.com was incorrect, but I was able to find the correct one. Although there was no answer to confirm late arrival. Fortunately the late arrival worked fine. There was a note on the door with cell numbers and ringing the bell summoned Dave for checkin. Jacuzzi is great. Small pool good for a quick dip. And you can brag about swimming 100 laps in record time without getting tired!

Shark Cage Dive perfect venue.
Perfect location just down the road from the Shark Cage Diving venue, as well as walking distance from a beautiful cove for whale watching. Locate pub on the estate providing reasonable 'pub grub' and a short drive into Gaansbaai for more sophisticated restaurants. The owner/landlady of The Roundhouse was fantastic; she was friendly, knowledgeable and a perfect host.

Great Place in awesome village
The hotel owner was very friendly and told us a lot about the area and things to do. The room was very nice, spacious bathroom with bathtub, etc. There was a jacuzzi on the top deck which overlooks the ocean, awesome. There were several options for breakfast off the menu and it was very tasty! Overall, would definitely go again, the village felt non-touristy and the guesthouse was great.

Everything we needed and more!
We had such a good experience at The Roundhouse B&B. We booked it the morning we were going to stay there as somewhere to rest our head before going shark diving the next morning. The owner was very accommodating, especially as we arrived late, he recommended a beautiful place to have dinner as well as leaving the roof top jacuzzi on until late so we could go in after dinner. They also allowed us to come back after shark diving the next day to shower before checking out. The bed was comfy and we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom unit that had a little kitchen. The room was very clean and cosy. Couldn't have asked for anything more!

cottage was great. Hotels.com voids you on reward
Great spot. Very friendly. The cottage is a great deal and very clean. 3 bedrooms. I am not sure why people worry about the view. The hottub has a great view. HOTELS.COM DOES NOT GIVE YOU REWARD NIGHTS for this booking. I guess that disclaimer was not obvious when I booked it.

Excellent value for money.
We stayed in the cottage across the road rather than the rounhouse itself. It slept 6 but even for 3 of us it was very good value. The beds were huge. Great service throughout. You need a car for restaurants but that is the only downside.
