148 guests' feedbackAbsolutely amazing. Can't wait to make my next booking. We had such an amazing time with our friends, now, we are all planning to bring our teens along.
Stunning. I will definitely return.
What a wonderful experience and a beautiful place to stay when you want tranquility and peace. The sea view from our little Sea Shack was the best. Everything you needed is in the communal kitchen. Friendly and very helpful staff. We will definitely be back and stay for a longer period of time.
The host was excellent with any queries or requests. Spices was always there to accompany us everywhere on our walks and make us feel safe. The host was always willing to go that extra mile for us.
Gorgeous glamping getaway in a sheltered cove. The cottages/shacks at Sea Shack are much more than "wooden tents'. They're basic but warm and cozy. The communal kitchen area was also a lovely surprise: clean and well-equipped. We loved the weekend away and were constantly surprised by Sea Shack's - and Paternoster's - hidden gems.
Awesome and relaxed weekend.
It was tranquil and comfortable. The views were beautiful. I will definitely go back.
Great venue for a group of people. Not suitable for different groups at the same time. Toilet facilities deserve attention.
The toilets were not great, but everything else was very nice.
Fun thanks, chilly but clear weather. We were lucky there were another couple who were staying there and they built a fire. My only thought would be that this is something the hosts should provide but otherwise we have no complaints.
Fantastic as were the previous two visits. Everyone enjoyed all it had to offer. Perhaps not something Sea Shack can control, but both evenings poachers were busy in the bay just 100m from us. Not what you want to see.
Stunning location and well worth the visit if you don't mind basic amenities!
The cutest place in one of the most beautiful parts of our country. Spice, the resident dog, joined us for long walks with the most beautiful views. Sea Shack is just what you need to breathe and recharge your batteries.
The facilities and environment truly exceeded our expectations. It's something different and worth trying. The host is a great gentleman.
Great place. The manager was very helpful.
Lovely to sleep with your feet literally in the sea. Almost like camping we were used to.
Very peaceful and tranquil.
Good value for money. Clean and tidy.
It's fantastic, five star in a shack. Safe. Nice atmosphere, good festival, everyone falls in and hangs out as a big family. Great shower facilities, refreshing in the morning, sea view, beautiful it's a must on your West Coast trip.
The location of the units, smell of the sea and cry of seagulls soothe your senses. we met great people and exchanged details for future visits! The 'view' from your room will take your breath away city dweller! Spoil yourself. You're worth it!
Definitely worth the effort. Everything you need for a camp and good sleep weekend all in one. Everyone is helpful and friendly. All the guests, young and old from all over the country, had a wonderful time visiting and chatting. Eugene thanks for all the help with anything that was needed. Will definitely visit you guys again.
Wonderful, would recommend and visit again.
What an incredible place to stay. The setting is sublime. I would definitely stay there again.
Great time had by all.
To wake up and the sea is right at your door. Breathtaking.
It was a very nice stay and Eugene, the camp manager, really went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We will definitely come here again!
I would perhaps only suggest that little handles be placed on the inside of the door to make it easier to close the door and to push it open. Struggled with it a bit. Furthermore, our holiday there was an absolute experience.
Very awesome place. We took the unit against the sea. It's nice to wake up with the sea close to you. There is a braai area and communal kitchen. Everything is pretty clean. Owner is very friendly. Stayed up late to make sure all the guests were happy. All complaint is that the dirt road to the place needs some attention. But an unforgettable experience. A must to visit.
We were already planning our next visit before we drove. A little piece of heaven hidden away, where we could relax.
Mice could be a problem. I have no issue but my neighbour wanted to book and when I told het of the mice she changed her mind.
Something else, that will stay with us. Please keep it as it is.
Truly an exceptional place!
Our stay at Sea Shack was truly something special. The service was excellent and the atmosphere that reigns there means that we will definitely come back again. Our host did everything in his power to make us feel as comfortable as possible.
Very nice visit and holiday atmosphere.
Eugene was extremely friendly, received a guided tour from Spice the dog. Beds are comfortable and toilets are clean. It always lovely meeting new people. What a awesome place.
The silence, the atmosphere, scenery, everything was so beautiful. And the manager Eugene was also very friendly and helpful.
What more could a guy want after a long day on the road than lying on your bed and staring out over the ocean, Sea Shack absolutely delivers. The sound of the sea and the fresh sea air cheer you up and the bed is comfortable to ensure a good night's rest. Great place to stay, will stay longer next time.
Incredible location. Very friendly reception. Beautiful sleeping area and excellently equipped communal kitchen. The small crate with crockery and cutlery for 2 people really impressed us.
Thank you Eugene for your excellent way in which we were received and for always being willing to help where you can. We had a great time at the Sea Shack and hope to return one day.
The area is very beautiful and it is a special experience to be able to sleep so close to the sea. We were lucky to be only two couples in the whole camp and it was great.
Clean, tidy, perfect for a quick weekend away.
Was wonderful to wake up to the sea on your front porch.
Sea shack is not just a place to stay, it's an experience! We had a great time!
Closer to the sea you cannot sleep. Basic but luxurious. Must experience to understand. Very unique place.
Beautiful place to just break away alone or in a group for a day or two.
Perfect place to get away as a group of friends for a weekend. About the layout of the place, you hang out with everyone who dines at Sea Shack that night with the facilities being shared - so we made new friends. If you like meeting people and socializing, this is the perfect place. If you are looking for an intimate private weekend away - maybe not the ideal place although the location is very romantic. Of course, you have the option of visiting restaurants in Paternoster, but think you're actually missing out on the experience of why you'd want to go to Sea Shack. The location is very sheltered even when the wind blows - we will definitely be going back and bringing more friends.
Wonderful experience and would recommend it to anyone. If you plan to go book definitely in the front row!
This was our second visit and certainly not the last! Simple, yet neat, comfortable and unforgettable!
Environmentally friendly.
It was even more enjoyable because we went to the restaurant at the gates to the nature reserve and we watched the Bokke playing the British Lions. The atmosphere was great because the Bokke won.
The location is perfect, however I did not like the fact that people got drunk and got into your space! We went to have a relaxing chilled atmosphere but certain guests was obnoxious in your face and in your space! Next time I certainly will bring my own chairs! The manager was pleasant and assisted where and when possible!
The West Coast is indescribably beautiful and the West Coast people are hospitable, friendly and helpful. The Sea Shack is clean, tidy and bathroom facilities are clean and tidy.
This place is so special! The view is just too beautiful.
One cannot be closer to the sea. The place is a West Coast diamond.
Third year we visit there. Need I say more!
It was more than we expected. Absolutely wonderful and refreshing. Beautiful place.
I would definitely recommend Sea Shack in the evening, it's a real sea experience. The tranquility is something to experience. The view is picture-perfect
We will go back. Beautiful place to relax and fall asleep to the sound of the ocean on your doorstep - literally. This would be an amazing place to book as a group of friends or simply with your partner.
The host does not place the interests of their guests very high at all and the indications to find the place could easily be improved.
Sea Shacks is a unique place close to nature that keeps it real and simple. Love it!!
Neat special place. Right on the beach. Most beautiful views and atmosphere.
Sea Shack is a must visit place. If you like camping the place is perfect. Shared ablution facilities and kitchen, but the comfort of a small wooden house with a very comfortable bed! My wife and I were there for six nights, I believe you have to stay at least 5 nights here to appreciate the place! So don't just come one or two nights! Tieties Bay is about a kilometer away and it makes the perfect place for late afternoon cocktails on the beach with sunset! This place is a bucket list destination for sure!
Neat accommodation. Value for money.
It was amazing to be so part of nature. We saw seals, penguins, scorpions, sandpipers and snakes. There are an incredible number of birds. You live in a hut with the sea at your feet. And sit around a bonfire and stargaze in the evening. The place is very well looked after, clean and tidy.
One of the highlights of our tour. Right on the bay, almost with your feet in the sea. Silver clean facilities and very friendly host. Really a bucket list must do and see.
Wonderful experience. Will go there again and again.
It was an experience now. Fantastic. We enjoyed everything there was to do. Our time was a bit limited because we had to go back home. Nonetheless, our next getaway is just short. Thanks to Dianne and Daniel (and others) who keep everything in tip top condition. Keep it up. This is a real experience.
Was very nice and clean and really enjoyed it.
Incredibly nice place to stay and well appointed.
Romantic, scenic, rest.
A piece of heaven on earth. The best view (from your bed) of the sea and who knew there were so many stars. So quiet. So beautiful. Daniel is the best host and goes out of his way to accommodate everyone. There are the most beautiful spots and places to discover. We will definitely go back, but this time for longer.
You live by the sea. Share a fully equipped kitchen and enough ablution facilities for everyone. Als is very neat and clean. It's basically camping without all the pitching and pitching. Many bird species to see. Nice close to the village. A must for someone who wants to get away from all the noise.
The accommodation is awesome, the area is fantastic and it's my piece of heaven on earth. All I would suggest is that the management of Sea Shack explain to each person checked in how the fridge and dishes and so on work and that each person should keep their places clean and tidy. But other than that I can't complain, I was blown away when we stayed at Sea Shack and would stay there again.
This was truly a wonderful experience, completely out of the ordinary, beautiful view, friendly service. Very neat and clean.
Heaven on earth. So tranquil.
Basic accommodation - glamping - as advertised, but everything needed. Slept nice and warm in cold weather in very neat unit. Lovely view, impeccable sunset and starry sky. Very quiet and safe.
See stars.
On the sea, rest for the soul, close to restaurants to choose from, if you don't want to grill. Will definitely see me again. Meet others. Just nice.
It was very nice. Quiet, beautiful and just the right place to relax and recharge. I'm already saving up for my next visit.
Accommodation was clean and tidy, comfortable, the manager is very friendly and helpful, environment and concept unique and one of a kind. The only downside is that you share the communal braai area and kitchen and when a large group of people book together it is quite a challenge.
It's peaceful and relaxing, I would recommend other people if you want to relax and be peaceful.
The road was very poor and the toilets stink. The solar lights don't work. For someone that wants peace, this is not the place because people were noisy.
Sea Shack is a must visit, especially for people who like camping and 'something different'. We stayed in Abalone, with pristine views of the ocean. Definitely an experience like no other. Tieties Bay is unspoilt, one can definitely find oneself on the beautiful rocks, and in the beautiful nature. It is peaceful, clean and beautiful.
It's the most beautiful beautiful place. Secluded ideal for you and your partner if you are looking for a piece of silence. Meet lots of new people.
Perfect place for a short break. Very unique! Ideal for a couple or even a group holiday!
Celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary at the incredibly beautiful place. No cell phones, appreciation for nature. Barbecue with marshmallows outside in the beautiful open air, picnic by the sea, nicest restaurants. Playing cards in the evening and sleeping late with the door open and smelling the fresh sea.
Sea Shack is perfectly located on the beach, very clean and tidy with a very friendly and hospitable reception.
Great view and good communal kitchen.
Sea Shack, especially the game reserve, is a must experience. It would be good if they could have more than one fire place. There was a large group of people there with us and then you don't want to sit around a fire with strangers at night. Other than that, everything is perfect!
The stay is typically a campy experience, but luxurious! The rooms and kitchen are very neat and well equipped. People are also very friendly. If you like nature and being outside this is the perfect holiday.
Daniel is very helpful and friendly and Sea Shack is very neat. I can definitely recommend it. Was lovely to sit outside in front of the fire with a glass of wine. We enjoyed the fireplace in the central area a lot. Will definitely recommend it and go again for a longer period.
We made the most amazing friends. Daniel, who is the 'camp father', did his job absolutely well! We stayed in the 'tent' cheaper option - would be great if they could just put a mattress on the cots. The place is incredibly clean and everything was so beautifully decorated. The communal kitchen is so well planned and laid out. The beautiful surroundings are 100% recommendable and we will definitely be visiting Sea Shack again soon!
All perfect. Daniel was great and very helpful. We really enjoyed everything about the place.
I can highly recommend it and already do.
Sea Shack is an incredibly beautiful place. Great experience and so good for the soul.
Sea Shack is fantastically located with a beautiful view and a nice holiday atmosphere. We were received very kindly and were surprised by the cleanliness and how well everything was organized. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You will definitely see us again.
The accommodation was excellent, the kitchen setup very pretty and the fireplace lovely to relax and chat about the day.
It was the most delicious. Only in nature. The front cottages are to be recommended - you could not be closer to the sea. Rest for your soul. Fill your cup again. "Off the grid", yet comfortable.
Unfortunately there was a mix up with our booking and we ended up in the 'family room' which is not set up for teenagers but for small children. Sea-Shack is truly an experience! The eco-toilets, the communal kitchen, safe environment and beautiful view is an experience we enjoyed.
It is a relief away from the busy city and noise. You can live close to nature without electricity of any luxuries. We had 2 days of res and we had a renewed awareness of the breathtaking world around. It was a nice experience and the staff was very helpful. Had a nice chat with other guests and made new friends. Will definitely stay there again.
Enjoyed my stay there, comfortable bed, bit small in the bungalow, clean toilets, hot showers, big communal kitchen. Location was perfect for me as I am a musician that plays @ Jazz festival every year Feb. Thanks.
Sea Shack has a great location, was surprised that the bay was so quiet and you could hardly see the tide coming in. Daniel was friendly and helpful, the other guests were also friendly. Enjoyed the scenery.
Tranquillity combined with good utilities and approachable manager made stay most enjoyable.
Sea Shack is a place I definitely want to go again. It is picturesque and very peaceful. The right place to go and relax.
I would never trade the Sea Shack for the most expensive hotel, guest house or lodge - what a great experience! If you want to experience the West Coast in its full glory, visit the Sea Shack. Will definitely come again but would rather book a cottage with a double bed as the beds in the Cabanas are quite uncomfortable. Warmer shower water will also be a plus, especially if the cold sea wind picks up. Daniel is very pleasant and willing to help.
Absolute value for money.
Very peaceful. Beautiful scenery! Such friendly staff.
Very nice setup between Paternoster and Tietiesbaai. Lovely views. Good management. Good place to break away.
It's not just a destination, it's an experience! Must be one of the country's best kept secrets, would definitely go again.
Sea Shack is one of my favorite places on the West Coast, unbeatable customer service, perfect facilities and Tieties Bay on your doorstep. Not much more you can ask for.
Wondeful sevice. Spotless.
Very beautiful and unique and would go back anytime.
The best experience ever for a weekend escape, will recommend it to all of my friends. The best!
Wow! Sea Shack is a great experience. Fantastic place with great ambiance. A must for any visitor in Paternoster!
Great place and affordable.
The Sea Shack's location is amazing! You relax very nicely. Everything is clean and tidy (even the fancy long drops). We really enjoyed it. Daniel is also very helpful and friendly! My husband and I slept in the cabana the first night, the stretchers are very uncomfortable and we have to bend down to be able to sleep in the room. Luckily one of the Sea Shacks was open the second night, so we moved there, very very nice! If you like the sea, scenery and feel like a break, this is the place for you! Keep in mind the toilets and bathrooms are shared by everyone who sleeps there. It didn't bother us because we were there as a group of friends.
Very pleasant stay. Now live with only other vacationers and make nice friends. Get ready for a fire in the summer! It was nice and cool in the evenings. Pay attention to hot showers that sometimes struggle. However, I myself had a lovely shower.
Would highly recommended Sea Shack be if you are looking for something different than the norm. It's not a 5 star but it's an experience!
I stayed at Seashack for 2 nights and was very sad to leave! It's picturesque and the eco-lodge approach makes you feel closer to nature. The most beautiful hiking trails, stars in the evening and the sea at one's front door, it doesn't get any better. I traveled alone as a woman and felt very safe here. The staff are incredibly friendly and the facilities were clean and you lack nothing. Will definitely go there again soon, my heart is now in Paternoster!
Top marks for hosts Daniel and Raymond. Peaceful and serene atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
Sea Shack is very nice and the location is amazing! It was a lovely weekend!
This is a gem of a place with the best location. The accommodation is simplistic with only a bed in it, but very clean and tidy with good quality beds and linen. Wonderful to fall asleep with the sound of the sea right next to you! Daniel is for sure an asset to the Sea Shack. He is very helpful and friendly. Already planning our next getaway!
Great location, relaxing environment, great people, wonderful experience.
Unfortunately, my first night was not what I expected - group of drunk, loud people who kept me awake until 2 in the morning and only went to sleep after a heated exchange! (and almost jail cases). The second night was heavenly and just what I expected! I would advise people not to book on weekends if they are looking for peace - the people who seem to come regularly on weekends can get rowdy and obnoxious. The camp itself was very neat and the staff friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and we were lucky to have very good weather. I will go again, but not on Friday and Saturday and not during holidays.
The place is perfectly located and we could experience the West Coast 100%. The place to stay is fantastic and the setting perfect for someone who wants to escape Gauteng.
What a gem, right by the ocean! We enjoyed the stay and the tranquil, cosy and pleasant atmosphere. The breathtaking scenery helped to let go of the rush of the year. Daniel is a good asset and very helpful - wish we could've stayed longer! (We have told all our family and showed them photos).
I celebrated my birthday there with friends and it was so much fun. The staff were friendly and really cared whether we had everything we needed. The houses are perfect and the location is breathtaking. I will come again and again and again!
The quiet, beauty and sounds of the ocean were exactly what we needed. We were lucky enough to be the only guests for a day. Truly a place to relax, read or to simply enjoy the sea, sun and beauty of the West Coast.
Very well organized. Wonderful service. Everything was just a great experience.
The Sea Shack's location, layout and concept are excellent. However, the nature reserve in general can do much more in terms of nature conservation, litter removal and maintenance. But this does not detract from the Sea Shack's uniqueness, service and cleanliness. It is worth the effort.
Lots of fishing on the rocks and lots of fun with everyone! It's very clean and everyone involved is friendly and helpful. We recommend it to anyone to break away from the city and just put your feet in the water there!
I highly recommend the place for people who live close to nature and like camping, and who can get by with the minimum facilities (it's still luxurious). We had a good time, had a good barbecue and met nice people.
I would recommend the Sea Shack to anyone who likes to camp and for whom outdoor toilets are not a problem. It's a must! There is a very rough ± 3 km long corrugated iron dirt road from the gate to the Sea Shack, but it can be driven by car. It should be especially nice to go in a group because your experience can be spoiled by loud strangers with whom you have to share the common area and amenities. Everything you need is provided, eg a fridge, kettles and gas stoves, as well as grills for grilling meat. There are taps at the sink for washing dishes. The place is really very neat. Two men are permanently on site for supervision and maintenance, and they are very friendly and helpful. Only thing I would like to be stated much more clearly on the website is the issue of tents. Everywhere you only see pictures of the 'shacks' and you only read how lovely the 'shacks' are described, but little is seen or said about the two tents. Even in the photos you can't even see where on the premises the tents are or what they look like. I ran into a pitfall by booking a tent (because the shacks reminded me of caravan type tents I had seen elsewhere). We flew to Cape Town, and when I realized my dilemma, we had to pack sleeping bags and everything for the tent because no bedding is provided in the tent. We were lucky to be able to find a shack a day before our arrival, because my mother and I would not have survived in one of these tents. These are two-man/one-man tents in which you can only sleep - not stay. It's important that people know this and see exactly what it looks like and can compare it to a shack. It should please be stated very clearly on the websites what the specific tents look like from outside and inside, and what a tent costs, and then opposite to that, what a shack looks like and what a shack costs so that one can compare the two with can compare each other. I would not recommend a tent at all.
We will definitely come again. Being so close to the sea is a privilege. It's lovely to just sit and stare at the blue. Crisp linen, hot showers, clean and nice and modern common areas! That's old Glamping!
Great people, great experience! All facilities are clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful. The most beautiful view - The Sea Shack is where you go to forget about the world. We will definitely stay here again, can recommend it to anyone.
A wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back.
Very nice stay. Staff very helpful. Had a great rest.
Hospitality, accommodation, location, everything gets 10/10! We had a great stay and will definitely come here again! Value for money.
You make so many friends. There is good togetherness, the friendliest service and staff and it's all simply "wow"!
Its a really wonderful place.
The facilities are clean and working. The view is unbeatable it really is an experience. You really feel safe much more so than in the town.
From the road the place doesn't look like much, but as soon as you look see the whole place you immediately fall in love with the place! The facilities are appointed much like a camp, but well-equipped! Equipped with everything you need. The view is absolutely fantastic! You basically stay on the rocks next to the sea. All I can say is stunning! Stunning! You will definitely see mee again.
Sea Shack really is an idyllic place.
The most beautiful view of the West Coast sea with only the sound of seabirds and waves. The smell of the sea and the moon shining over the water is what we experienced at Sea Shack. Leave your tablet at home and go for long walks on the sandy paths.
Just a pity about the noisy group when we were there. They also didn't clean after themselves in the kitchen. If we go again we'll make sure we are the biggest group.
Dink net hulle moet 'n nr. of bordjie opsit waar om die personeel te kry as jy inboek. Dit is 'n lekker informele plek. Sal beslis weer gaan. Die diens is ook goed. Sal volgende keer volle bedrag vir verblyf betaal. Geen kaartmasjien beskikbaar nie. Gee dit 'n 4/5. As jy deur die slaap is moet jy net mooi kyk om die trappe te sien as jy toilet toe gaan. Die inligting op die webtuiste is oud.
