Saxon Lodge

Amazing place with the most friendly owners I ever meet, very clean and really careful

We have just had a wonderful experience at Saxon Lodge. Caron and Dave were very helpful and caring about how we were enjoying our stay with them. The living area in our suite was exactly what we needed and the bedroom and bathroom were perfect. We left feeling we had made new friends and our visit to Gansbaai was enriched because of where we had stayed.

What a wonderful place to stay while in Gansbaai. The managers were extremely friendly and very welcoming. They made sure every little detail was taken care of, without having to be asked. The Saxon Lodge has very nice rooms, comfortable beds, spectacular views, and feels like home. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling the area and I'll certainly be sure to stay here again if I wind up back in Gansbaai.

We had originally set off from George for Agulhas but level 9 storms had swept the area and roads were being closed all over the Cape. After abandoning plans to get to Agulhas we tried to get to Hermanus a day early so headed to Stanford. The river which runs alongside the road was getting bigger and bigger the nearer we got to the coast and when we got to Stanford the Hermanus road had been closed so we made the decision to drive to Gansbaai instead. As we entered the town, the road we had just travelled along was in the process of being closed too. We set about trying to find somewhere to stay for the evening and were extremely lucky to stumble upon Saxon Lodge. After speaking with Dave the owner, he said I might be able to help you out. As two couples, we took his last vacancy which was a family room with 2 singles and a double. We got lucky as it was ideal for our needs. Comfortable, clean and providing everything we needed. They also gave us recommendations for places to eat but with no power throughout the area not many were open. Later that evening the power come back on providing us with WiFi and hot water for showers along with Netflix on the TV. G Our hosts were absolutely fantastic and so helpful when we found ourselves in the predicament that was. Even breakfast was great and very welcome the following morning. A great big thanks to Dave and Caron for providing us with not only a warm welcome but a lovely, comfortable and clean place to stay for the night. All I can say is if you ever need somewhere to stay in Gansbaai then Saxon Lodge is the place to go.
