Very distant hotel. Quiet and isolated. 100m from the ocean. Apartment was spacious, but not that clean. Notice - there's no phone and no cellular reception, so the only communication method is using the Wifi, BUT if you accidentally reset the router (like we did) - it stops working and you lose contact to the world...

Heaven on Earth at Gourikwa
What a pleasant surprise. Very clean and neat, large rooms. The small church on site at the beach is beautiful. Lovely swimming pool and we saw a lot of Zebra's.

Good for the soul
This was a super relaxing stay. We stayed in an ocean front fishermanā€™s hut and spent the night in front of the fireplace listening to the wind. Great for the soul. Make sure you get the code for the gate IN ADVANCE of arrival. It took us 1.5 hours from when we got to the reserve to actually get in there because we didnā€™t have the code and none of the contact numbers (including the emergency number) were working or got a response. Once we got in, we enjoyed it though

Es gibt Zebras und Antilopen zu sehen, aber keine FahrrƤder zum Leihen wie angegeben. Wir standen lange vorn Gate, weil es kein Netz gab und nur eine der 3 Nummern funktionierte. Dass man anrufen muss, war vorher auch nicht klar.

Ferienhaus am Meer mit allem was man braucht
Sehr schƶnes Ferienhaus fĆ¼r 4 Personen, gut ausgestattete KĆ¼che. Die Lage am Meer ist super,aber sehr, sehr ruhig. Auf dem Scenic Drive sieht man Elands und Zebras sowie PerlhĆ¼hner. Achtung: unbedingt von der StraƟe nach Gouritsmond aus zum Gourikwa Reserve fahren, da das Osttor von der Meerseite her geschlossen ist und nur mit entsprechendem Chip geƶffnet werden kann.

Grandiose Natur, Ruhe und viel Platz
Wir haben ein paar Tage in einem der Cottages in der NƤhe der Rezeption verbracht. Das Cottage liegt nur 100m vom Meer entfernt, wer das Rauschen mag ist hier richtig. Auf dem groƟen GelƤnde verteilt gibt es vom Zimmer bis zum groƟen Cottage unterschiedliche Unterkunftsmƶglichkeiten. Das Cottage war komplett ausgestattet, in der KĆ¼che gab es alles Notwendige an GerƤten und Geschirr. Das Cottage hatte fast komplett neue Mƶbel, einzig das Bad kƶnnte etwas erneuert werden. Das Resort bereitet auch Mahlzeiten zu, wir waren mit dem FrĆ¼hstĆ¼ck im Restaurant sehr zufrieden. Es wird dort auch auf individuelle WĆ¼nsche wie z.B. vegetarisches Essen, eingegangen. Ɯber dem gesamten Areal liegt eine groƟe Ruhe und Friedlichkeit, welche nur abgeschiedene Orte bieten kƶnnen. Trotzdem muss man nicht auf Internet und Fernsehen verzichten. Im Reservat kann man gut wandern oder Joggen, es gibt zahlreiche Wege, am Wasser entlang oder im Hinterland. Man begegnet Zebras, Springbƶcken und Schildkrƶten. Es gibt auch einen kleinen Pool, mit SitzbƤnken und Liegen. Kurzum, Naturliebhaber sind hier richtig und kƶnnen angenehm und komfortabel entspannen. Party people oder Gourmet Restaurant Fans mĆ¼ssen von hier aus ins Auto steigen und z.B. nach Mossel Bay fahren.
