It was a breathtaking time. Quiet and safe. We fell in love with the place.
We didn't get there until 21h00. Hostess communicated with me all the time about access to the guest house. Very impressed with the place for 3. Everything you need for an overnight stay or even a weekend is there. Slept very well.
We immediately felt at home at The Green Gecko. It's a neat little place that we would definitely recommend for when you go on holiday. The owners are friendly and don't mind helping if you have questions.
Had a great stay and will definitely stay there again.
Hospitality always good! Safe and convenient! Value for money! Very central! Very nice stay!
I had a nice time and the hostess was very friendly.
The place was ideal for us to spend the night very centrally in Strand. Exceeded our expectations, very neat and well furnished. Also very safe with a lock-up garage at your disposal. Friendly service and good value for money! Will definitely use the nice place again in the future.
Had a wonderful stay. Friendly and helpful hostess. Secure parking was a bonus! DSTV a plus. Everything you need was there.
See stars.
I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely visit again. With such friendly and helpfulness, I will definitely visit again.
It is by the sea you can walk. People are incredibly friendly, place is clean, tidy and so private.
Was very nice. Only needs to change the mattress, it's very hard.

Lovely place and quiet. Lovely and friendly owner.
Perfect spot to go and relax.
Pleasant stay! Secure lock up parking is a plus! Will definitely use it again.
We had a wonderful time in our own space, peaceful and relaxing.
After a very unpleasant experience at another lodging, Green Gecko's owner welcomed us within an hour. Everything was clean and tidy with bits of detail (like that beautiful sliding door!) that truly make it feel like home. This place is also very thoughtfully designed. There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and even a decent hair dryer. Would stay there again anytime.
Would recommend this destination anytime. Neat, clean and very relaxed atmosphere with excellent service.
We loved the place and went there for a second time.
It is a convenient place for relaxation and quiet time. Als was at our disposal and the owner is very helpful should you need anything. They are happy to help, I will go again.

Very cute and comfortable accommodation for a small family. Very clean, private and close to the beach. A definite recommendation.
It was a very pleasant place. Value for money.
We had a wonderful stay in this little apartment. Chaniti and Ryno were very helpful and friendly. The sea is close by and the Strand is a great place to spend time by the sea, as well as being close to other places. We will visit there again!
Was very kindly received. Very clean, tidy and safe. Well appointed place with everything you need. Value for money. Would highly recommend The Green Gecko.
Very neat and very beautiful. Art people will love this. Absolutely worth the money.
The Green Gecko has everything you need, the place inside is full of love and peace beyond words and we feel so at home, we didn't want to drive, the place is a festival.
Getting away was fantastic enjoyed every moment of arrival just a pity we have to return, but weekend was just nice.
Very artistic decor, homely and welcoming. Well equipped and ideally located. Ventilation is slightly problematic and a new mattress and good pillows would put the place in a whole different class.
Atmosphere was very nice and quiet.
Perfectly central.
Will definitely go back for another visit. Everything we would need was there and a small gift. Garage, barbecue and electric kitchens were a bonus. Everything is walking distance from where you stay. Highly recommended!
Would definitely recommend the place to anyone who wants to be in a safe and relaxed environment. But overall an awesome place to visit.
Great customer service!
It was very nice to stay at "The Green Gecko". We were well received, had everything in the apartment that we would need. The place was very neat and we definitely enjoyed the privacy. I would definitely recommend "The Green Gecko" especially for married couples.

Neat and well located. Friendly and helpful hostess.
Peaceful and quiet. The best place to rest and unwind.
Always friendly always helpful. Great place to be at.
The hosts were impressive. I would suggest an extra fan if more than 2 people sleep there, and the mould in the house is really a problem. Besides this, it is a lovely place to stay.
Chaniti and Ryno both welcomed us very kindly. Place is very neat and cozy. Walking distance from the sea and shops. We will definitely visit again.
See stars.
We enjoyed our stay, the owners were very friendly and helpful. The small braai just outside also came in very useful and my son enjoyed the cartoons on DStv.
We were very well received. My husband forgot some of his things there and they went out of their way to mail them to us. Place was really neat. We wanted to get away from people and this little place was ideal and just what we needed.
Absolutely amazing stay.
A great place to come back to after a long day of travelling or exploring Cape Town.
Couldn't have chosen a better place to spend time with my partner. The place is incredibly gorgeous, there is everything and Saniti welcomed us nicely. Thank you very much.

Very friendly reception. Fully equipped with everything you need. Close to the beach and shops and restaurants. Very neat and convenient.
Very nice to rest.
The environment is nice and quiet and also within walking distance from the sea. We enjoyed our privacy.
I would have liked to have a place to hang wet clothes. And an extension lead. Otherwise we had total privacy, safety, cosy and a well deserved rest. Thank you Chaniti and family.
I can recommend The Green Gecko 100%. It's beautifully equipped and you and all your belongings are behind a garage door and no one knows about you, it's so safe. Two adults and a child can stay there comfortably, they have thought of everything you could possibly need. I will definitely book there again if I have to go to Somerset West.
It was a very nice get away to spend quality time together.
The Green Gecko is accessable to locate, and the distance to the beach, shops is a walking exercise and stress relive.
It was very neat and peaceful. Chaniti was very friendly, we got a warm welcome. We enjoyed it, would book it again for a longer period.
Will recommend. And definitely see you again! Thank you very much.
See stars.
It's just safer and with curfew that makes it difficult, if you have to visit far, it's ideal to spend the night at such a neat and safe place.
The lady of the house was very very sweet.
Beautiful place, ideal for a weekend break-away, or a longer holiday.
Booked at short notice, owner was very helpful and friendly, would definitely recommend the place.

It was my second time there and I still love it. Thank you for allowing us to come again. Definitely won't be my last time.

We had a really nice stay. It is such a peaceful environment. Everything is so comfortable, clean and tidy. Chaniti and Ryno made us feel very welcome. I would recommend it for sure!
It was the best weekend would definitely want to visit there again if only perfect.
Ever since we stopped at Green Gecko, we immediately felt welcome. Chaniti showed us the cute place and handed over all the keys. W parked our car securely under a roof behind a garage door at our front door. We had the nicest braai area and it really felt like vacation. Everything is very clean and in place.
Absolutely perfect. Would stay there again anytime!

Lovely place and what we needed.

Green Gecko is a nice place, nice and safe and looks like you can have a good barbecue there. Unfortunately I didn't spend much time there because I had a dinner that evening, but the little time we spent there was awesome.
Great stay, was just too short!
Green Gecko was a great stay over for us, with all the facilities that we required, as indicated by our ratings. We'll be back.
