93 guests' feedbackWe had a very nice stay. It was neat and clean. Service was friendly and professional. Breakfast was top notch! We come again!
Comfortable and clean room and breakfast was delicious!
Very comfortable! All we needed and everybody went out of the way to assist!
Oh, it was delightful. We will definitely stay there again.
It was very nice and all the people were very friendly. Stay was pleasant. Will stay there again. Thank you.
You will have to look far for tastier!
Relaxing and a perfect getaway.
It was a very pleasant stay. The owner and workers are very hospitable. The breakfast was truly five star. I would love to stay there again.
Very good stay, thank you.
Fantastic and will return as my favourite gem of a place.
Very peaceful place. The service from all the staff was excellent. We really felt very welcome and will definitely come again.
Very central location in Yzerfontein, and has friendly staff, and will definitely come back again.
Will definitely use Kaijaiki Country Inn and Restaurant again when we go to Yzerfontein again.
Ansie immediately made us feel at home. Environment quiet and no noise. Was fantastic. Will visit again. Staff very friendly. Thank you Louise for the beautiful prayer. I got my passport.
Perfectly situated, beautifully decorated beach getaway. We received such a warm welcome from the owners of the Kaijaiki that we felt like old friends. The unit we stayed in had everything we needed. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic and the coffee is to die for. What an amazing place to spend a weekend with family or friends. We will definitely go back. Thank you to the hosts, you made our stay amazing.
Centrally located, close to als.
Could do with an inverter to provide uninterrupted electricity supply. I found to be irritated.
Will stay there again, nice atmosphere, nice people.
Room big, neat. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Will stay there again!
I pre-paid for breakfast, but it was questioned when I arrived; i had to forward my emails as "proof"? Rooms cold and last few stairs have no handrail.
Very nice and tidy and ideal location. So nicely furnished and everything tasteful. Our stay was wonderful.
Good location and well equipped.
From the time we arrived on Friday until we left on Sunday morning, all the staff went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Neat place. Central location. Will visit again for sure!
Good people! Slept and ate well. Very clean and tidy.
Hospitality and tranquility awesome.
The host and hostess, Rene and Mary Ann, were so accommodating, our cottage was comfortable, clean and cosy.
Thanks to Rene and May-Anne we had a very nice weekend. They carried us on their hands and I really appreciate all the effort they made to make us comfortable.
Rene and Mary Anne are born hosts. From our stop we were immediately spoiled with delicious coffee. We had dinner and it was like being in a small French restaurant in Europe - log fire, wine and excellent food at very good prices. We slept wonderfully warm and enjoyed a delicious breakfast the next morning. We will definitely stay here again, we were spoiled.
The owners' friendliness and hospitality make you feel very much at home.
We stayed a night there with our young baby and had a meal at Kaijaiki restaurant. Our room was neat and homely and our meal at the restaurant was perfect! Will definitely stop by there again when we are next in Yzerfontein. Thank you Rene and Mary-Ann!
Location is in walking distance of everything.
A very neat place to relax. Safe and good service.
Lovely and tranquil setting, walking distance from the beach. Good service and delicious food.
Neat and clean, but facility is starting to show age.
The unit is very central, so we could walk to the sea and to the nearest shop. The location is very good. Rene and Mary Ann were very friendly. We told them about the gas leak at the gas cylinder and I believe they will take care of it.
My son was terrified when we saw a black spider by his bedside, that was real off-putting to be honest.
Electric blankets only work partially. Got a cold. Kitchen not clean. Bathroom unacceptably inadequate.
Definitely does not meet the 3 star rating it was given. We didn't even know that we booked for B&B. I thought it was for self catering. Nothing communicated, no information in the rooms, except to say breakfast served from 7h30 to 8h15. Some emergency numbers, that did not include theirs. They never replenished the tea/coffee and milk on daily basis. Only gave us clean towels. Bathroom facilities awkward. Noise levels from rooms directly next door to us. No security, we were directly onto the open parking area, which was onto the road.
The restaurant at the guest house makes delicious food. The guesthouse offers good value for money.
This location is very good and the accommodation is unique to the West Coast. Very good hospitality.
Beautiful accommodation in Yzerfontein with the loviest hosts and delicious food! We had the best time chatting to René and Mary Anne while they cooked and served our food. Would 100% recommend this accommodation and restaurant!
We had such a great stay and it was an unforgettable break even if it was only for 1 night. Located within walking distance of the sea, spacious and clean accommodation, delicious food and extremely friendly hosts. Rene and Mary Ann immediately made us feel at home and felt like old acquaintances. Can highly recommend the accommodation and restaurant.
The food is incredibly delicious! The Host's sense of humor is the Best! You immediately feel at home!
Good location and accommodation. Wonderful food from Chef Rene, but what makes Kaijaiki truly exceptional is the hospitality and warmth with which everything is done!
I had a very nice stay. Was well received and welcomed. It was nice and quiet and I felt safe. Breakfast was very nice, I just felt that it was rushed. I would have liked to order another coffee, but was not offered the option. Felt like I had to eat and finish.
The restaurant was an unexpected surprise. I had booked elsewhere for dinner, but ended up cancelling due to the convenience factor. The meal was excellent and good value for money. Perhaps the restaurant should be advertised before guests get there. All in all a great stay and we would return.
The food and service are excellent. Rooms are equipped with fireplace, heater and mattress warmer which makes it very cozy for a cold winter evening along the West Coast.
The guest house met all our expectations. The rooms are spacious with all the facilities as advertised, the atmosphere is calm and warm, the hosts very warm, approachable and spontaneous, and the food at the coffee house and restaurant delicious with a Dutch touch to it which we found refreshing. The environment is also peaceful and the sea very close! We would definitely like to repeat this visit.
Very cute place close to everything.
Value for money. Enjoy a safe walk to the beach. Beach nice and clean
Rene makes good food.
Nice close to everything, walking distance.
Enjoyed our time with Rene and Maryanne.
Very comfortable and tranquil - owners friendly and helpful and restaurant's food options will be in everyone'e taste.
We had a very nice stay. Was pleasantly surprised with the service and how nice, clean and spacious our unit was. Initially had a problem with DStv connection and hot water, but upon inquiry to the owners, it was rectified immediately and with the necessary urgency. We will definitely visit there again. The Dutch theme and dishes in the restaurant are also very interesting and something different from the usual.
Rene, the owner gave us a friendly welcome and made delicious dinner. The ocean is only a few minutes' walk from the cottage, and the beach has beautiful white sand.
Location is everything you need for an overnight stay. Owners are very pleasant and friendly. Food is very tasty.
I had a comfortable two night stay. It helps that there is a coffee shop and restaurant on the premises. They are willing to help and dispense of advice in the area.
Amazing host, thank you Rene for the generous reception! Beautiful self-catering family unit. Well equipped and leaky beds. Well located and a restaurant on site for non-self caterers. Had a great time at Kaijaikie for 2 days.
Unfortunately we only stayed one night and would have liked to enjoy more of the hospitality and delicious food. Many thanks to Mary-Ann and Rene for the short time there. My granddaughter also says thank you very much for her jewels that were found there after we had already left. Greetings until next time then we will visit longer.
It was my second time at Kaijaiki and René and Mary-Ann made me feel like an old friend who came to visit. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
I had a wonderful stay at Kaijaiki. Rene and Mary Ann's hospitality was special and something you don't always experience.
The rooms were clean, very spacious and the breakfast delicious. I enjoyed it a lot.
Mary and Rene are the best. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. The food in their restaurant is some of the best we have ever eaten in my life.
The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. It was convenient that there was also a restaurant on site. Rooms are well equipped to warm up cold nights at the sea. Will visit again.
A warm reception upon arrival from the owners Rene and Mary Ann. The food was of world class quality and very delicious. We only stayed for one night and had to depart before the scheduled breakfast time. Rene and Mary Ann however were able to accommodate us earlier. Truly a hidden gem and we will definitely be back with our next trip to the West Coast.
Enjoyed every moment there.
I enjoyed my stay at Kaijaiki Country Inn. The room I had was spacious and clean. It was what I expected for the accommodation price class. There was filter coffee in the room which was a luxury I do not see often at the places I stay. Although dinner was nice it was on the expensive side. Rene was very accommodating in making breakfast earlier than the usual 8:30. The omelet he suggested for breakfast was nice. Although the place do not have a sea view it is a short walk to the beach. Will definitely consider Kaijaiki again. The accommodation was value for money.
I would have appreciated complimentary basket of fire wood and fire starters. If the shop had closed we wouldn't have been able to make a fireplace and now you are sitting with a stinky pack of fire lighters in your car. I didn't realize that room had single beds and it was frustrating, but that's my own fault, I should have read better. However, one does not expect accommodation without at least one double bed. Place is neat, centrally located, food is good, but on the expensive side. Overall I would recommend this as a package.
For the money you pay, it's a nice place to stay overnight with breakfast.
The host and hostess are very helpful and welcoming. They prepare excellent meals. The room and bathroom need some attention.
Kaijaiki is super in all possible ways. The hosts took good care of us and made us feel right at home. Special menu adaptation for my sister who was a bit under the weather. Comfortable beds, and all amenities. Close to the sea. Great stay.
The sleeping units are neatly decorated, spacious and well-equipped. Meals are available on the premises and the dining room is decorated with all kinds of interesting items.
We had a lovely stay, visit and meals! Very friendly and hospitable atmosphere. Thanks Rene.
Peaceful simplicity where you can discover yourself again. Everything you need for a peaceful getaway.
A few collleagues and I stayed here and we also used the restaurant for a conference. René and Mary Ann really went out of their way to accommodate us and they made us feel at home. The facilities area really tidy and comfortable and delicious food at the restaurant, from breakfast to dinner and even coffee treats in between. I can really recommend Kaijaiki, especially if you just want to relax - wonderfully relaxed atmosphere in Yzerfontein. Thanks so much for your hospitality!
Thank you very much for your extra effort to make us feel at home with late evening arrival and early morning departure. The accommodation was neat and comfortable and you will definitely see us again when we are in the area for business.
At Kaijaiki Country Inn we had a lovely room with very friendly and helpful owners. Everything was neat and clean and the surroundings are peaceful - the restaurant was definitely an unexpected delight with René preparing the most delicious meals. A visit that was definitely worth it - thank you very much.
Spent one night after attending a wedding. Perfect for what we needed.
Pleasant stay. Hosts friendly. Good breakfast and room big and comfortable. Will use again.
Rene and Mary-Ann are the two wonderful hostesses. Lovely accommodation (with e.g. electric blankets) and free WiFi in the breakfast room. You come and go as you please. The restaurant was delicious. Fantastic atmosphere and delicious food made by the hostesses. Walking distance from the sea. And they are pet friendly, which is great!
Good location. Good food. Clean room and nice beds. Hosts are kind and warm and you really feel at home. What more can you ask for?
Close to everything. Owners are hospitable and helpful. If you have forgotten something, they are happy to help you. Will definitely go again!
It was an experience to get so much hospitality from the owners. Thank you very much.
Host and hostess very hospitable. Breakfast and dinner delicious.
Lovely stay and dinner in the Bosch's restaurant. Wonderful hostess/gentleman. See us again.
Our experience with Kaijaiki was only that when we left the next morning (everything was paid 14 days in advance by LekkeSlaap) we still had to pay a deposit of R470. This was the only accommodation where we had to pay. The previous dinner was delicious but also excessively expensive.
We had a great time at Renè van Kaijaiki's! Renè was a really good host and he went out of his way to make us feel at home at Kaijaiki. Renè also has a lot of knowledge of the environment. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
The place was neat and the breakfast was decent!
We enjoyed the place's very good service and would return.
We felt very at home and had a great stay. Rene and Mary-Ann are very hospitable and contribute a lot to the homely feeling.
We like the style of the house and the full great service for breakfast. Enjoyed the stay.
