112 guests' feedbackIt was incredibly peaceful, neat and comfortable, and we felt welcomed. Despite the rainy weather, the view was still amazing.
Our hosts thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. From extra snacks to citra soda in the bathroom. We fell short of nothing.
Idle Winds offers a safe, clean, and relaxing accommodation atmosphere. Much attention is given, even to the smallest detail, to ensure a welcome arrival as well as a comfortable stay. The braai and pool facilities are cleaned spotless daily. Your host is always available should you have any requests or need information about the surrounding areas. Load-shedding is not a problem!
Where to begin! We've booked Idle Winds multiple times and our expectations were met above and beyond each time. We would definitely refer Idle Winds to anyone in need of accommodation or just to refresh to this amazing place! We'll be back soon.
Very clean, with all amenities and totally lovingly equipped, large self-catering accommodation in the middle of Gordon's Bay. Although there are a few stairs to negotiate, a stay there is worthwhile especially because of the totally friendly hosts, who are always on hand with help and advice.
We enjoyed our time at Idle Winds very much.
A good break, but just a pity that we were not informed in advance about workers who were busy working on the upper floor. Was a big disturbance in the mornings while we still wanted to lie down.
We had an excellent stay. This was our second stay at Idle Winds and we experienced the same 5-star treatment from our hosts. You can walk in, make a cup of coffee and start a braai immediately (if you have meat of course!). Everything is there from coffee, tea, sugar, bottled water to fire starters and briquettes! They spoil their guests with small welcome snacks like chocolates, biltong and biscuits - a real treat! As always, the accommodation is clean, neat and tidy and well decorated. The unit is also on inverter backup which provides lights and TV during load shedding. We will always go back to Idle Winds when we visit in Gordons Bay. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Well appointed apartment, with lovely views and lots of nice, small touches.
Everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Hansie is the most thoughtful, gracious host. He provided us with all the information we needed and went way beyond to make our weekend comfortable and memorable. Thank you for the lovely snacks. The terrace was just perfect! Kitchen was compact and contained everything we needed, the bed was comfortable, bathroom and location is incredible. Thanks Hansie, and Idle Winds for a wonderful weekend! We will be back.
Thank you, Hansie for the best getaway birthday experience. We had everything we needed and more. Will do this again any time.
As usual, great stay. There is no other place. People book this place you will not regret it. Clean, neat, great location, friendly hosts. This is such a gem of a place. My wife and I got engaged here and now we spent our first anniversary weekend here. Hansie, you are great. Thanks again.
Thank you very much Hansie for a warm welcome. Als was neat and in place, couldn't ask for better. There were even snacks prepared for us as well. Als was given to us we really enjoyed it, especially the silence. I recommend Idle Winds to anyone. Will definitely go again.
I and my husband did not expect what we found when we arrived, the meet and greet from the owners Hansie and his friendly wife. We were amazed by all the nice sweet stuff that was placed in the unit for us, not many people do that. I can go on and on, it is definitely a must return soon even if it is just for one night, just to get that feeling of listening and smelling the sea because where we live we are surrounded by mountains. Thank you, Hansie.
Very warm and thoughtful hosts who even provided us with snacks. The accommodation is clean, and neat and has all that you would need, even charcoal for your braai. The outside was beautiful and we loved having our morning coffee while watching the boats in the harbour. Would definitely recommend staying here!
The welcome was excellent, you can feel the warmth, it's neat and peaceful. It's the best getaway place ever, I recommend Idle Winds to any person. The service is value for money. It's one of our best holidays ever, the owner and his wife have the sweetest personality and welcome was the best, I will return to Idle Winds again. It's the best getaway spot with the most beautiful view, thank you for a peaceful, blessed long weekend.
We had an incredibly nice visit.
Paradise found by far the best self-catering apartment that I been to, clean, well equipped, 2 big screen TVs, DStv, Wi-Fi, tropical garden and full braai facility, gym overlooking Gordon's Bay harbour, will definitely recommend Idle Winds.
The host was very welcoming. I can't explain. People, you need to just book the place and find out for yourself, but with all my heart I can say you won't be disappointed. The view is stunning. The accommodation itself is stunning, neat and tidy.
This was an experience like few. The lovely apartment with very tasteful interior decoration was superb. We really enjoyed the beautiful deck with its view. Thank you very much for all the special refreshments and the way they were served. Definitely recommend. Thank you very much for your hospitality. It was an experience.
Was one of the best places to visit and would definitely trade anything to go back to Idle Winds again. A special thank you to Hansie for his hospitality and friendly personality. It really was one for the books.
Quiet surroundings and neat, clean and spacious accommodation.
Had a great time. The stairs are a challenge, especially if you are 60 and over, but otherwise very nice.
I went home in the Garden Terrace. This is a lovely spacious unit and very private. The private patio is nicely sheltered from the wind. You almost don't want to go anywhere and just hang out there and by the pool all the time.
We booked for 3 nights but actually would have liked to stay longer. Idle Winds is the best equipped guest house we have stayed in yet. Attention has been given to every possible little thing one could need during their stay - too many to mention! It goes without saying that it is painfully neat, spotless and 100% safe, but the location and view and the owners' friendliness and helpfulness mean that we will definitely visit there again. 5 Stars for Idle Winds!
Second time staying there now. Will go back again and again. They are real pampering people and it's so nice and private and you just feel at home. It's my new home in Gordons Bay from now on. Thank you very much for your hospitality. It's so nice with you.
Thank you very much for good service, friendliness, cleanliness, safety and beautiful customer service. I would advise anyone to use Idle Winds. Thank you very much again for our lovely weekend, we will definitely see you again soon.
What a beautiful town Gordon's Bay, our accommodation was out of this world. Hosts were very helpful.
I have no words, everything is just perfect!
Awesome place, owners are amazing, friendly and available. Thank you Hansie.
Idle winds are neat and clean. Get much more than the amount paid. Well equipped residential unit. Very safe at all times feel at ease about yourself as well as car.
Hansie and his wife were exceptional hosts and very accommodating to say the least. Everything was on its place and readily available when required. Definitely a 5 star retreat and a home away from home. A highly recommendable place and the views and amenities spectacular. Thanks again to Hansie and his wife.
It is definitely a good choice. I will definitely stay there every time I go to the Cape. It is quiet and peaceful with a nice view. The owners are so kind and caring. They spoiled us with delicious snacks and there is everything you need for self-catering. It's aside and private. What a nice experience. Thank you guys.
Having our own place on TravelGround, we were totally surprised by the lengths Hansie went to make our stay memorable and comfortable. The place was spotless with many surprises like chocolates for bedtime etc. Privacy is brilliant as well. We can recommend it without hesitation!
Personally I would recommend Idle Winds to any couple or married couple, it's perfect.
Idle Winds has a good location. Received a little surprise when we entered the place. The owner was very pleasant. Hansie made us feel very welcome. Idle Winds definitely sees me again.
The place was so beautiful and we got a friendly service on arrival. Nice basket we got was so nice.
The owners are very friendly and the way they welcome you with warmth. They even give you some snacks, that was so nice. Thanks for the weekend guys, will definitely be back soon.
Wow, doesn't do the place justice it was so much more, our friendly host Hansie was awesome and made you feel welcome. It was everything that I was looking for a break away that I long for for a long time. It was so peaceful.
We've forgotten how many times we've visited Idle Winds, but it's still our top choice, very neat and clean with all the necessary amenities to make it feel just like home. Thank you very much!
Hansie, thank you for your kind hospitality and attention to detail. Idle Winds (garden cottage) felt like our "sanctuary" for the weekend away from all the hustle and bustle of the Mother City. Thank you for your friendly and warm welcome, the gift pack and beautiful home away from home. You made our hearts and souls smile that much brighter.
Our second time visiting there, very nice, owners are very friendly as always, it was nice to be there again, snack board is always the best with the white and red wine, will book there again, excellent place. Crazy about it.
This was the best accommodation my partner and I have booked thus far. It was exactly as advertised and worth the price. We were warmly welcomed with a snack tray and each room/area had everything we needed and more. We highly recommend the gardens suite, the design and ornaments was beautifully matched with the finest attention to detail. Our only wish was that our stay was longer. Thank you Hansie and your wife for your extra effort in making our stay extra pleasant.
Friendly reception, neat and well-furnished accommodation, value for money. Will definitely use again.
What a great place. We got engaged there and now came for another little breakaway just after our anniversary. Place is still as great as beforehand. Hansie is doing great. Already started making plans for early next year.
We felt very private and secure, great restaurants and beaches nearby. Loverly entertaining/braai area, virtually five rooms, two large TV's, bath/shower/office, large bedroom and separate lounge, plus the fully equipped kitchen, off road, secure private parking. 1st class hosts.
Lovely accommodation with a gorgeous view, welcoming and accommodating owners. We really appreciated those little extra touches provided by the owners, like the welcome snacks and treats, and exercise towels provided in the gym.
Idle Winds has everything and much more you will ever need! Much finer detail and a treat in every room. Thank you very much Hansie and Fienie. Blessings.
Beautiful, comfortable accommodation with everything we could possibly need. Will definitely stay at Idle Winds again.
Very neat and tidy place.
Was awesome, the owner was friendly, the place was nice and clean.
Calm atmosphere. Friendly owners, most beautiful view, everything was just perfect. It was very difficult to leave the place.
The place is absolutely amazing.
Very friendly host who welcomed us. The place was very comfortable and met everything we really enjoyed it and will definitely go again.
A big thank you to the owner, couldn't have found a better place anywhere. Thank you very much, will come back anytime.
From our arrival to our departure we were treated like royalty. Cleanliness of the place was very noticeable, but our cremation and welcome package took our breath away! I would definitely recommend this place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thank you very much again for the nice weekend.
First we were more than kindly welcomed, when we entered the house, we gasped for what awaited us inside. It was our anniversary and we couldn't believe because words can't describe it. More than fantastic and romantic. Thank you very much Hennie 100/100, I will come again thank you very much.
Not our first stay in Gordon’s Bay but our first stay at Harbour Terrace. The self-catering accommodation is modern, very comfortable and extremely clean. The owners are super friendly and took much time and effort to ensure our stay was enjoyable. On arrival, we were met with bottles of red and white wine, a substantial pack of snacks and lots of attention to detail: candles and floral attributes. The facilities are great too – beautiful pool, private deck with stunning views, gym and in close proximity to the beach. Highly recommended. Had a wonderful stay!
Everything was perfect and clean, and a nice view.
Best place ever! Ideal for couples. We pretty much enjoyed it. Nice view and very neat place. We will definitely book again. And also tell friends and family about it.
I would prefer it again at Idle Winds. The kindness. Hospitality is 100%. The cleanliness of the places was very nice. Thanks, see you soon.
It was very tasty. I would recommend anyone to use Idle Winds' services.
It was unbelievably amazing to be there. The services were amazing, the complimentary gifts were very kind, the house was super clean and beautiful, the views are spectacular! I would definitely book again.
Great value for money with everything you need at your fingertips. This is a spacious place offering so much. Beautiful and very tastefully decorated. We had an awesome experience. Thank you to Hansie.
How does one describe a place that is perfect. From the moment you arrive and are warmly and heartily received by Hansie and Fienie, there is one surprise after another: the lovely opulent, luxurious apartment with the beautiful furniture and decor and treats everywhere, bowls of chocolate, snacks, wine, even the table is covered, the hypnotizing view of the sea, the tropical garden with fish and waterfall and other beautiful things, Idle Winds is a gem that soothes your eyes, heart and soul. So, come see and experience for yourself. Thank you Hansie and Fienie, that I could stay in your paradise. I'm coming again.
It's so peaceful. The setup of the place is absolutely beautiful, I haven't been to a place that pays this much attention to keeping their customers happy. Everything about the place is amazing. Thank you Idle Winds for a great experience.
This was our second visit this year to Idle Winds, we enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend at this stunning apartment. Apartment is fully equipped for self-catering with everything you can possibly need for a comfortable stay, neat and clean. Location is perfect with a beautiful view of Gordon's Bay harbour. As per our previous visit, we were again spoiled with a welcome snack platter on arrival. Hansie is the perfect host and made us feel so welcome. Idle Winds is definitely our first choice for a weekend-away in Gordons Bay and we look forward to our next visit.
Hansie and his wife they thought of everything, really would recommend Idle Winds to anyone that need a break away. I only can give them a 10 out of 10 for everything. Thanks and may God continue blessing you guys.
My husband and I were received like royalty, we were shown the accommodation and other recreational facilities by the landlady. We were welcomed with a snack and wine basket. Coffee, tea, sugar and milk were at our disposal. The two days we spent there were absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to anyone looking for a getaway.
Sal beslis weer gaan. Ons het dit baie geniet. Dankie oom Hansie vir die ongelooflike gasvryheid.
Very clean and tidy. Tastefully furnished. Absolutely everything one might need for a lovely private and peaceful stay even load shedding was not a problem. Hansie is a good host and made us feel welcome. We can highly recommend Idle Winds really above average stay. We will definitely visit there again.
We enjoyed our stay there. The owner is very friendly and helpful.
The experience is indescribable. The pictures on the web page don't show everything - you have to have the experience yourself. Great place and definitely going back soon.
The view was beautiful. The studio we stayed in was comfortable and the treats were a surprise. Thank you very much auntie and uncle Hansie for making us feel so at home.
My husband and I want to say a big thank you to Hansie, he was fantastic. Just what we needed was given to us without a second thought. The place is so clean and tidy, beautiful view we liked every detail and the snacks were a great surprise enjoyed it a lot. Will definitely go back again, we were so sad when our time was up. See you soon Hansie.
The location is perfect and Hansie's customer service is one of the best.
We were very excited to be there. We got a welcome platter and wine too. Excellent place to book if all you need is spices and a hair dryer. Can always ask Oom Hansie and Tannie Fienie for something, they are very friendly. Will definitely book there again.
I stayed at Idle Winds for a month working remotely during lockdown. The apartment is extremely clean, very quite and very private with access to a beautiful pool area. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel at home and have left me with a very nice welcome gift set. There is good fibre internet and aircon. Will definitely stay there again and would recommend this place to anyone!
My best break ever comes again.
We enjoyed our stay at Idle Winds tremendously. Apartment is fully equipped for self-catering with everything you can possibly need for a comfortable stay, luxurious neat and clean, spectacular view of Gordon's Bay seafront. We were spoiled with a welcome snack platter on arrival. Our host, Hansie, is very friendly and made us feel so welcome. We are looking forward to our next visit to Idle Winds.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Peaceful, fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay. As this was our third time at Idle winds and definitely not our last!The place was very clean. The surroundings of the place were so calming and peaceful. We would recommend this place to anyone!
The self catering unit is fully furnished with everything that you need and more. We were surprised with the nice treats and all the additional add-ons that was not expected. The owners made us feel so welcome. They were very helpful and accommodating. The place is super neat and clean and well recommendable.
Beautiful place and great host! They spoiled us a lot! Only negative aspect is the many and style stairs especially to the Harbor Studio. I feel you should maybe mention it in your summary of the place, it might be a problem for older people or someone with weak knees
We will definitely choose this place again. It was a mind blowing 2 days. Thank you Hansie.
This was our 2nd time at Idle Winds. The apartment is very neat and there is everything you can think of to need. The veranda with a view of the harbor is a big bonus. It is private and very peaceful. We feel so spoiled when we visited there. We will go back again and again. Hansie and Fienie are very pleasant and friendly people.
Lovely and clean accommodation with everything you need. The host definitely went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. We would recommend Harbor Terrace to anyone and would gladly stay there again.
A wonderful visit that was made more special by the host who kindly and comprehensively showed us everything. The focus on detail is wonderful and your comfort is taken into account everywhere - from the blankets on the patio bench, to the wide selection of spices in the cupboard. Will definitely stay there again!
Every need catered for.
Hansie and his wife were by far the best hosts, I really felt at home. It was a lovely weekend!
Beautiful, clean, friendly. Absolutely perfect.
A great place to relax and take life slow.
Hansie and Fienie went out of their way to make our stay super. The accommodation is extremely tasteful and very luxurious. Fine detail and finishing, make it an unforgettable experience. Everything one might need is there. They even thought of the smallest things, such as a first aid kit, yarn and needles, a hairdryer, spices, a fantastic welcome pack with refreshments, wine and also milk and water in the fridge. Such hospitality, and so many extras is unprecedented, but so incredibly nice. Idle Winds will definitely see us again! Well done Hansie and Fienie - you are absolutely super!
Everything was very comfortable and tidy. The owners were very hospitable and made us feel at home. I will definitely book there again.
My partner Seton and I were welcomed by Hansie (owner) upon our arrival. It was really refreshing to see the place we booked was exactly as the online pictures if not better. Not even the rainy weather could put a damper on weekend. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest, the place was warm and inviting, fresh smelling and beautifully furnished and the best part: complimentary snacks and wine was the cherry on top! The owners Hansie and Finni are friendly with awesome personalities to match. We definitely coming back.
Hansie makes you feel like old friends, the happy place is prepared with care and you don't lack anything. Will definitely look again
Anyone who wants to book here in the future will not regret it. Very good value for money, amazing service from Hansie. Everything is great!
After staying at a so-called 4-star hotel, the place must definitely be 10-star. Perfect for a couple's getaway. Neat, very well furnished, gone the extra mile. Hope I get a chance to go there again soon.
Uncle Hansie was very friendly and made us feel at home very quickly. It was very nice and clean, with the most beautiful view over Gordons Bay. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience. You are special. That's why I would recommend Idle Winds to anyone.
Hansie and Fienie are very friendly and we were welcomed with open arms. The place was exactly as in the pictures.
They always make our stay as comfortable as possible. To rate the place and the owners 5 stars is much too little. They deserve a 11 out of 10 for everything they do to make your stay fabulous. We would go there over and over again.
From booking the accommodation to handing back the keys to Hansie and Fienie, it has been the most pleasurable experience. Not only do they provide everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible, but they also go beyond duty to ensure all your needs have been taken care off. It is surely a home-away-from-home stay. Upon arrival you are spoiled with the nicest welcome snack platter and will find even the smallest attention to detail like a sewing kit, first-aid kit and insect repellent (just to name a few things) to be in the unit. They provide a daily cleaning service as well as a laundry service. The unit has the most beautiful views of the harbour and the ocean, which can be enjoyed while having a braai on the patio. Hansie and Fienie are the most friendly and thoughtful hosts who have a passion for what they do and will go the extra mile to ensure that you experience the best stay ever! We give Idle Winds 5 stars and will most definitely go back for a genuine awesome holiday.
We had a lovely stay and the only downside was that it was too short. Hansie and his wife were extremely hospitable and helpful. The apartment is extremely comfortable with the finest detail and unexpected treats (chocolate, enough coffee and tea). We can recommend it with great boldness.
Enjoyed it, will go again anytime. Recommend it, value for what you get.
Dis 'n groot verrassing wat net beskryf kan word as unbelievable! Stunning and luxurious comfort vir self-catering! Dankie Hansie en Fienie vir al die detail en versnaperings wat ons baie besig gehou het! Julle fasiliteite is iets besonders en bevredig die rustige atmosfeer waarna jy uitsien ten aanskoue van die see. Braai baie lekker en kuier soos konings! Kan aanbeveel!
What a great place to spend a lovely weekend. Hansie was the perfect host. Rooms were very clean and well equipped with everything we needed and so much more! Great pool area to relax and enjoy. The views are amazing. Very peaceful, will definitely recommend Idle winds. Amazing weekend!
See stars.
I recommend anyone to visit Idle Winds. Would definitely stay there again. It is located near a beach, restaurants and the view is breathtaking.
It was an absolutely peaceful and enjoyable experience that we have encountered for a long time. I will recommend this place not for our Fellow South Africans but for our International market as well. Well done to Hansie and Fienie for their hospitality and for a memorable stay.
This place exceeded my wildest expectations. Wonderfully hearted people received us with open arms and our stay was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Beautiful place we will return to time and time again.
Firstly the hospitality of the owners is so amazing, we were welcomed with open arms (literally), the unit is so so beautiful, it was so much more than we expected. It was so peaceful, all you hear is the waterfall in the garden which made it so lovely. I would definitely choose Idle Winds again for a relaxing weekend away from home.
We stayed in the Garden Terrace and were overwhelmed and amazed with the hospitality of Hansie and Fienie. Everything was clean and tidy and there were more treats than we could use up. Sometimes you know you get more than you pay for and this place is one of those treasures for sure. We will definitely go back again and send all our friends there. Close enough to the harbor and places to eat and a swimming pool, DStv and private gym if you just want to chill. Don't even hesitate about this apartment, it's worth it. The hosts also bent over backwards to make it nice for us.
The owners of the place was absolutely friendly, inviting and so friendly. The place is neat and tidy and so much to offer. From bathing towels to needle and thread to hairdryers. The place really has a lot to offer. Oh my word! Don't get me started on the snacks, it was too much but yet such an amazing and generous gesture from the owners side. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff who assisted us down with our bags. Hansie ensured that we were satisfied with our stay at Idle Winds. The place is so peaceful a real relaxing environment. All the facilities was clean up until the Weber. It was only me and my husband and we didn't braai much but our outdoor braai box was consistently full and new charcoal and fire lighters was readily available every day. The pool are was clean, safe and so relaxing. I would refer anyone to this lovely place and would go there again.
