"Loved our stay, stunning sea view, best beds, lovely decor. Simply fabulous!"

We loved our stay, the view was fabulous and we spotted dolphins and whales on the first morning. We had a family emergency and could only get there a day later, and we were happily accommodated to change the dates without question. Everyone was extremely helpful and happy. We loved our stay and hope to be back.

"Memorable."

Berard's Pringel Bay Beach House will definitely see us again. It's the cutest interesting little house with everything you might need. In front is the sea and forest and behind the mountain. Maria, who welcomed us, is very friendly and was available at any time if we needed her.

"We had problems with the alarm system during load shedding, otherwise it was okay."

The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and clean, the bathrooms were nice, there was a beautiful view from the terrace, and there was easy access to the beach.

"Picture perfect."

A relaxing weekend stay, and we absolutely loved the house. The house and its views are great, and we loved the proximity to the mountain fynbos as well as an easy walk to the beach. The equipment and other resources were great, and the host was so helpful in getting us all set up. I really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with all the generous and top-notch equipment, and the artistic colours and fabrics.

"A home away from home. Beautiful, artistic house with everything you need."

The two bathrooms were a big plus and the fireplace in the cold weather was fantastic.

"Well furnished, cute porch where you can see the sea and is sheltered from the wind."

The house has everything you can think of. Keep shutters are different from the normal ones, which makes them very cute. Lovely veranda from where you can see the sea and where you are largely protected from the wind. Only negative point is that there is no shelter for your ride in the form of a carport.

"Relaxing getaway."

We loved our stay! With icy weather, we stayed indoors mostly, adoring the fireplace and all the other details that made for a wonderful stay, super comfy beds (electric blankets), great showers and the constant sound of the ocean.

"Thank you! Absolutely wonderful weekend spent in this beautiful home!"

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this light and bright home in beautiful surroundings. What a pleasure to stay in such well-equipped accommodation.

"Beautiful, loved home."

This home is full of love- and was the perfect setting for our little family holiday! All so carefully thought out: the kitchen is a dream; the home well equipped for load shedding; incredible views; exceptionally comfortable beds with linen to match, excellent communication from the hostess; Maria was ready and waiting for us when we arrived; oh, and the fireplace was so cosy and warm!. I personally loved that there was no TV. This home set the venue and tone for a very special family holiday. Thank you for sharing it with us.

"Tranquility abounds! Wonderful peaceful environment. Lovely house with beautiful views!"

This sunny and stylishly furnished property offers the soul-weary city dweller an ideal resting place! Sit for hours on the wooden deck and look out over the sea and mountains while you drink good coffee or wine! The house is very well furnished. No TV forces one to do other things. The beds are very comfortable with high quality bedding. If you like a firm sleeping pillow, maybe bring your own. Highly recommended! The baboons are there to provide entertainment and may come to greet you on your porch.

"Sea and mountain view!"

Wonderful place with the most beautiful view!

"A beautiful house in a beautiful location."

A home away from home! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house. It was clean and had absolutely everything that you would want when going away. We had multiple visits from the baboons. One morning after breakfast we were a bit careless in leaving the veranda door open. They walked right in and finished our breakfast and helped themselves to everything they could find in the fridge. It was quite scary because there were females with babies in the troop of about 6.

"Fantastic! Have a nice time."

Frying pan can be replaced. It enjoys feeding the senses.

"It was a good and classy visit close to the sea and beautiful surroundings."

The house is walking distance from the sea and even beautiful fynbos in the area. Well equipped. From a cute little dishwasher to a Bialetti. The view from the balcony is better than the photos.

"Incredible view and sunsets."

The places are amazing and can really recommend them. A fireplace with wine and a good book and you can conditionally have a nice rest.

"It was delicious!"

Neat, clean, homely and well equipped. Calm atmosphere. Very nice decor. Really enjoyed all the magazines and books.

"Very comfortable and good views."

Pity there was no Wi-Fi!

"Lovely cottage, well equiped. Peaceful and relaxing."

Lovely house with everything (and more) that you might need. Beautiful views. Outside patio sheltered from the wind. The outside shower is a winner. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

"I spent two glorious days at Berard's with three of my sisters - our first reunion since 2016!"

This was my second stay at Berard's Pringle Bay Beach House. My family and I have had numerous weekend breakaways to Pringle Bay, Rooi Els, Gansbaai, Stilbaai, Kleinmond, Hermanus and the West Coast - and I can say that Berard's is by far my favourite favourite spot. We have absolutely fallen in love with this gem of a home. We received an incredibly warm welcome by Maria (who waited patiently for our arrival after an unexpected delay). From the moment you step inside, one just gets the feeling that this is a space where precious memories have been made. The quaint beach house is spotless, fresh and beautifully decorated. I love the mix of bright, vibrant colours and quirky patterns combined with lived-in, wooden furnishings and personal touches that just add so much character to the space. The kitchen has everything one could possibly need - and I'm living vicariously through the SMEG kettle and toaster! The home has been assembled with care. The beds are comfortable. I'd like to know where the duvets were bought, because they're just right. Even the shower heads just deliver the best showers. (I've done my fair share of dancing around under wonky shower heads - and these are just bliss. ). The verandah with the long wooden table is just the perfect spot for long, relaxing 'kuier' (visit) time, meals, boardgames, breathing space. And although the house isn't on the beach, it's a really easy walk to get there (and I'm super unfit). From the verandah, one has the breathtaking view of fynbos, mountains and sea in the distance. Behind the house, you have mountain and more fynbos. I love the fact that the house is set on a small stretch of gravel road. One really feels as if you're away from it all the bustle of a busy life. I even love their collection of books. And the thought put into things like a picnic basket, equipped and just ready to pack with goodies for a beach or mountain picnic. Snuggle little blankets in a big basket in the lounge for chilly evenings. Games. A Weber braai. Even a small rucksack for when one needs to take things along on a walk - very useful, as I forgot mine! Thank you so much, Maria, and to the owners of this home who have made it available for others to share it. I suspect they must be a pretty awesome family. Because one can feel the love. Soppy moment done and dusted. Needless to say, I'm a fan. Oh, and no. There is no WiFi and no television. Sheer bliss!

"We will definitely come again!"

It is a beautiful seaside house with a nice view from a lovely patio, a short walk from the nearest beach. Most beautiful old furniture and decor (for those who will appreciate it), a whole chest full of games for the children, fireplace, very comfortable beds, very comfortable kitchen with more than you need, such as dishwasher, pots and pans and kitchen equipment, most beautiful bowls and cutlery. There is no TV and wi-fi, so people who use it a lot may struggle if the weather is bad, especially with children. Luckily we discovered the games and the kids kept themselves busy. We like to barbecue and there is only one Weber. That's all I can "complain" about!

"Peaceful getaway, fully equipped with beautiful decor."

Kitchen is particularly well equipped, perfect for a weekend away from the city with quality family time.

"Comfortable and cozy. It had everything we needed and more. Fabulous house."

The only thing that would be the cherry on top would be WiFi. It was great to not have it on all the time, but with teenagers and work it would be very convenient. It wouldn't stop us from coming again though.

"Luxury and peaceful getaway."

The house is tastefully decorated and the kitchen is equipped with a large selection and best quality appliances. The dishwasher was a big plus. The large veranda is ideal for just sitting and looking at the sea and mountains. Even the kitchen has a beautiful view.

"Fantastic. The sunset was like a dream from the balcony."

The cottage and the location are just perfect. My friends and I enjoyed our holes out.

"Too wonderful for words."

Great relaxation.

"Excellent!"

Beautiful, welcoming house with a stunning view of the ocean. From the moment we booked, the owner, Jan, communicated with us and responded promptly and honestly to all our questions. Once we arrived, Maria welcomed us at the house and made sure we were comfortable before she left. Her lovely personality and kind demeanour makes you want to invite her to join you for the whole period of your stay!. Both Jan and Maria were available for any questions or assistance throughout our stay, and once we left, Maria went far beyond the call of duty to return stuff that we accidentally left there. In fact, it is the first time ever that someone called us (and not the other way round) to inform us that we left a cell phone charger behind. Although we knew there was not WiFi, we really missed it as it is not always possible to just leave your normal life behind.

"Great spot, amazing view and good rest!"

Awesome outdoor shower and very peaceful!

"The most beautifully decorated accommodation. It was like stepping into a magazine. Fully equipped with everything one could wish for."

We used the indoor fireplace every day as we had cold and windy weather. We did miss television and a bathtub. Also, there is not much storage for groceries in the beautiful kitchen. We were able to walk to the shops and the beach. Pringle Bay is very quiet out of season.

"Beautiful space with everything you could want. Very friendly reception from Maria."

The house is beautiful and supplies everything you might need, including a fantastic views. We'll be back!

"Comfortable house."

We had a nice time. The house is comfortable and quite clean. Just sorry about the dirty oven.

"Lovely beach house"

Great location and had everything we needed. Great small touches. Very nice beach house for the entire family.

"Well located, very nice view, excellent price!"

I have stayed in the hotel before when I travel there but will never again after discovering this fantastic house. Very nice place!
