Accommodation comprises 5 luxury villas, 3 Townhouse Cabanas and 4 Backpackers for holiday accommodation. Both the Villas and Cabanas are catering units with fully equipped kitchens. Our Cabanas are pet-friendly and each has its own private garden.
Velddrif is a busy fishing village located at the mouth of the Berg River. It is quite normal to see fishing boats filled with mackerel, pilchards, anchovies and rock lobsters sailing up the river. As Velddrif lies just 2 km away from the Berg River, which washes out into the nearby St Helena Bay, the village is renowned for its water sports namely surfing, swimming, and boating. Fishing is also a popular pastime here and lures many avid anglers who really revel in fishing in these tranquil surroundings.

119 guests' feedbackSunset Villas was exactly what we needed for a break from the city noise.
Neat and clean apartment. Everything one needs. Climbing the stairs made us fit. Most beautiful sea view.
It was very nice, clean and tidy and lovely sea view.
I was welcomed by the friendly host who showed me my room. The apartment was clean and the sunset view was the highlight! I had lunch and dinner at the restaurant below, and the food and service did not disappoint.
Excellent overall customer service. Friendly and helpful.
Was delicious, neat and very very nice view of the sea.
Yes, but the Saturday evening/night there was too much noise.
Was very nice to go to bed and wake up with the sea right in front of you.
Our one-night stay was amazing!
Seaview was breathtaking. Sunset was amazing. Very relaxing and private.
Had a wonderful stay. Very clean, tidy and beautiful sea view. The housing unit has everything, absolutely everything you need. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, highly recommended.
Lovely place, everything you need to just switch off. The sea view is breathtaking, you sleep like a rock with the sound of the sea in your ears. A sundowner and braai on the stoep or a cocktail and very good food at the Zeesicht restaurant. The host made us feel so at home, was friendly and helpful, and was always around if you needed anything. Thank you for a very nice holiday!
The view is incredible. I would just suggest they put in a lift for the older people, the stairs are very bad.
The Sunset Villas
Very nice stay. Fantastic view of the sea! 10/10.
It was lovely, and we loved every minute.
Beautiful place. Everything was so neat and spacious. Perfect set up and location is the best.
If you love the sounds of waves crashing 24/7, it's the place to be! The views from the top floor were amazing! It's self-catering, but with the restaurant at the bottom, no need to spend time in the kitchen.
We had a very nice stay. The sea view is unbeatable. We had trouble logging onto the WiFi, it took a day. After that it wasn't a problem.
Very nice. Incredible view.
Two things bothered. The outdoor grill's light did not work. The wild pigeons' droppings fell through the stoep's roof onto the stoep and also the outside table. Otherwise it was a good experience. R1500 per night is a bit tight for off-season rates.
Very nice. Nice views. Quiet environment. No barbecue. It would get a bit expensive if there are 4 or 5 people at R750 per person. WiFi didn't work.
Very good location. Friendly and professional service. Very neat and would stay there again.
Room was very neat and the service was good. Safe area. Photos sum up the place well. A bit more description regarding what is and isn't would be appreciated - eg. said that there are no refrigerators in the rooms.
We had a very nice stay there. The "backpacker" rooms are just a bed/beds and a bathroom. This is not self-care. There is no bar fridge or microwave. Very neat and clean and we received a friendly welcome. The restaurant is nice and cozy, but they do not deviate from their menu with special requests. For example, they don't make an omelet.
I enjoyed every minute of my stay. The chalet was clean and the view spectacular. The restaurant cooks amazing meals. The food was delicious. It would be great if the owner enclosed the villa/complex for even better security for guests and their vehicles.
My stay was great, I loved the place, the privacy and the view. The only issue I had was with the pool. We booked for the pool; however, it was green the entire weekend. The owners did try to clean it, but were unsuccessful, and we were unable to use the pool for the weekend. Other than that, 9/10 for the place. There is also a restaurant on the property, which is nice.
It was a last minute business travel and it served the purpose, but it is not equipped for self-catering purposes with no one on site, and the linen did not feel clean.
Very clean and tidy. Everything you need is there. Amazing view and the sound of the sea makes it so peaceful.
It is a lovely location and the apartment had everything we needed. Great view of the ocean. The restaurant on the same site was very convenient and excellent value.
Very nice, thank you very much, and the food was very good.
The apartment was very comfortable, neat and clean and with a beautiful view, right on the beach. You hear the waves breaking when you stand on the porch, it's wonderful. Beautiful to watch the seabirds in the late afternoon and early morning. Easy to get to the beach for a walk. The reception was very helpful and friendly. It's also very convenient with the restaurant right below the apartments. We ate very nice pizza there, but they also have other food.
Customer service excellent, I myself was able to book earlier due to a work event, everything was extremely beautiful, clean, attention to detail, even chocolates on the pillows. Beautiful view, outdoor barbecue, incredible view, good WiFi, great beds.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Amazing.
From arrival to departure it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Many thanks to the staff, Lenie and Mona for your kindness and hospitality.
You couldn't ask for a better location. Units are neat, clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We were kindly received and immediately felt at home. Will definitely visit The Sunset Villas again.
Relaxing and hopefully Velddrif as a place will have more to see/do in the future in winter.
Quiet accommodation with the best view and nearby shopping facilities. Friendly communication and neat, safe accommodation. Thank you very much - we really enjoyed it!
Staff were very helpful and friendly. The sunset over the sea was breathtaking!
Cleanest place I have ever vacationed.
Will definitely stay there again.
I will recommend the sunset villas - it is fully equipped with everything you want at a holiday home. The sunset is breathtaking and is different every day. I will go back there again. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Take time out and visit The sunset villa you will not regret it.
I recommend Sunset Villas, it's very nice and peaceful with the most beautiful sea view, very neat and clean inside. Definitely book there again next time.
Every angle in the Villa has a perfect ocean view. We had our Christmas lunch on the balcony with a breathtaking ocean view. Sunsets took my breath away and I did not even have to leave my room. The Villa has everything you need. Very neat and clean. Very friendly services.
We had a wonderful stay. Neat, safe and close to everything. The view is breathtakingly beautiful. Received very good service. Will return again for sure.
I always enjoy my stay. It is safe. The white bedding is crisp. It has a beautiful view.
We have been visiting Sunset Villas for the last ten years as often as we can, and come back again and again. Good location, comfortable, private, everything one needs, to relax and break away.
Great location with all the facilities one needs. Great place to switch off and rest. Will definitely come here again.
Overall, our stay at Sunset Villas was very enjoyable. The apartment has everything you need but could do with a few extra things (extra cutlery and kitchenware) to make it just a little more comfortable. The view of the sea is beautiful.
What a great 10 days on the West Coast. Lenie and André went out of their way to make our time at Sunset Villas unforgettable. We will definitely book again soon.
Stunning full seaview apartment, fully equipped with everything one can possibly require for a comfortable home away from home feeling. Staff was very helpful and professional. We will definitely return. Excellent value for money.
It was a nice place to spend the night. Very nice rooms, nice view.
The view is breathtaking. Apartment is neat and service is excellent. Would recommend to anyone.
Wonderful sea views, great location, friendly host and the perfect getaway treasure!
The location is fantastic, it's wonderfully quiet with only the sea and beach just below. The veranda has an indoor braai and a beautiful sea view. Very well equipped with everything you need. Bedding, towels, pillows - everything perfect. I would definitely recommend it.
Sunset Villas is perfectly located if you want to go for a quick walk on the beach in the early morning or late afternoon. It's literally a few steps from your villa to the beach. The villas are well equipped and there is enough space to barbecue and invite a few friends or family over. It was wonderful to be able to fall asleep with the roar of the waves in your ears. You can't get any closer to the sea at Laaiplek.
Especially enjoyed the sea view from the balcony. It's comfortable and has everything you need. Will definitely use Sunset Villas again.
See stars.
The reception was friendly and the service excellent. The view is indescribably beautiful. The apartment greeted us with a lovely clean smell. All our needs were met. We had such a good time we didn't want to go home.
Great accommodation away from the hustle and bustle, will definitely want to return.
The rooms are beautiful and well equipped. The views are fantastic. Staff is very friendly. Will definitely stay there again if I travel to Velddrif.
Spacious rooms and bathrooms, everything one needs. Fantastic sea view, beautiful beach right below you. Would definitely recommend the place.
Had a great time, thank you, enjoyed the mornings waking up by the sea and enjoying morning coffee on the balcony was lovely.
Location there is excellent, would love to stay there again!
We had a great stay and will use Sunset Villas again. We are just very unhappy about the fact that we booked Villa 3, which was confirmed by Lenie after I asked twice. On arrival we first struggled to get hold of Lenie but understood it was due to loadshedding but when we mentioned we were in Villa 3 then Lenie informed us that number 3 was booked out but we had to go and check and choose between 4 and 5 and she didn't walk along to show us and even less tell us about the pool. We had just booked Villa 3 for the big veranda to hold my Grandmother's 90th surprise party and had to rent another house for the occasion at the last minute!
Will definitely go back again in the summer. Sea, swimming pool, barbecue, visiting and chatting.
Not at all far from other places like Langebaan and Vredenburg. There is enough to keep you busy.
Great location and outstanding value in a rustic fishing village.
Perfect accommodation right on the beach.
We had a very relaxing time. Everything one needs was available in the unit. We stayed in the upgraded Villa 2 and it is tastefully done. I would recommend the Sunset Villas to friends and family. Here you forget about the hustle of the city. Thank you again Sunset Villas.
Good value for money.
The sunset is an experience. The weather was fantastic. The location is perfect.
The apartment was well-stocked and all appliances worked. The only issues were the broken extractor fan in the one bathroom and the very noisy, inconsiderate neighbours who partied loudly into the early morning hours. All in all a pleasant stay though.
The unit itself is neat, clean and well maintained, with a very nice sea view. The apartment block is just in the wrong area. There is no fence around the block of flats, and any person can get to the vehicles.
Was very well received and the receptionist was friendly. The view was very beautiful. Will use their service again.
Very friendly welcome and service from Monica. The apartment was very clean and tidy. Will definitely visit there again. We had a lovely time on the spacious veranda which is right by the sea and slept well with the sea in your ears.
Nice and comfortable stay. The unit was clean and tidy. Spacious rooms.
We felt at home, would come back again.
Neat, quiet accommodation. Highly recommended. The only negative comment I can give is that it would be great if there was a bathtub in one of the bathrooms.
See stars.
Thank you for Monica who went out of her way to assist us as guests.
Was very nice and peaceful. Apartment was very nice clean and tidy. Staff very friendly.
Well you can't do much better when it comes to self care. Monica is such a friendly person who makes you feel right at home. Right next to the beach you can hear the waves right through the night from your bedroom overlooking the Atlantic ocean. The accommodation is very neat and clean and very well equipped with an eye for detail, you really don't need to bring much, just food. The apartments are each nicely decorated and with balconies and shade overlooking the beach. To eat, Laaiplek is full of small places, my group and I really enjoyed the breakfast at Laaiplek Hotel, also a place with a nice view of the Bergrivier and its many birdlife and also walking distance from Sunset. Well done Monica and co, all the best!
Everything was nice except if the kids were there - the TV did not work, but it was not a problem for us.
Very nice place, great stay.
The Sunset Villa anytime again, especially the beautiful sea view. Definitely a place we will visit again.
Many thanks to Monica for her friendly, spontaneous, quick service. What a fantastic getaway. When you walk in the door it feels like you are in another world. The view of the sea was breathtaking from our room and balcony. The unit is fully equipped, private, neat and clean. I love the idea of the second bedroom also having its own private bathroom. We hope to see you again soon!
We really enjoyed our time at Sunset Villas. The barbecue on the balcony is wonderful. Lovely to sit there with a glass of wine and admire the sunset. My husband was very happy about the DStv! All we lacked was a nice couch (instead of single chairs) and a salad bowl. Otherwise it was great there!
Nicely furnished.
Will book there again anytime. Was very comfortable and very peaceful.
The villas are on the 1st and 2nd floor of the building and overlook the sea. Good self catering facilities with a braai on the balcony. Value for money.
Painfully neat and clean. It really is on the beach and you feel like you have your own private beach. Quiet with beautiful view. Staff are friendly and ready to help with anything. Great holiday destination.
Neat, will use the unit again.
We were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful apartment and the view over the sea and the remains of the old jetty of Laaiplek. Apartment is neat and very nicely furnished. All the facilities were nice and clean, as was the pool. Space a bit small around the pool but still comfortable. We rested well.
We received a friendly welcome on arrival. The unit was tastefully decorated with stunning sea views and gave a feel of being very private and one could just sit on the veranda relax and gaze into the sea. The only down side is the stairs if staying in the above units especially to carry goods up and down. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Sunset Villas. Will definitely recommend this accommodation.
I would recommend the villas for weekends and holidays, but due to the poor/no reception of WiFi it is not suitable for business. Nowhere could I locate the house rules on the website, with the result that I was not aware that all visitors must be gone by 11pm. I had to find out via a message on my phone at 20:56 from the lady on duty. If there are house rules then they must be indicated on the website so that one can make an informed decision when booking. A decision that suits your needs.
Was nice, little to do there, but okay.
What was supposed to be a pleasant stay turned out bad by the time we left.
The Sunset Villas' units are very neat and clean with an incredibly beautiful view. Unfortunately, there is no secure parking for your car or trailer. Anyone from outside has access to parking area. Very noisy on Christmas Day as the beach is a public beach, and all the rubbish (papers and bottles) is then left behind on the pavement and beach. Very nice building just in a bad area.
Really enjoyed my stay here at Sunset Villas. Views were breath taking and the apartments that we booked out were fully equipped. Great value for money as it was in a great location. Was very impressed as owner took the liberty to place our family next to each other as we had two apartments booked out that weren't next door from one another. Can't wait to return to this beautiful part of the West Coast.
I enjoyed my stay very much. Good service and the view is just amazing.
My wife and I really enjoyed spending the weekend there. The apartments are cozy and well furnished. The sunset and view is one of the most beautiful along the West Coast. The place creates a peaceful atmosphere and I recommend it to anyone. Thank you very much!
We had a wonderful Easter weekend at Sunset Villas. It was very neat. We were 5 adults with a 2 year old and we all appreciated the 180 degree sea view while we had a braai on the porch! Will definitely be back!
The Sunset Villas is an amazing place, right on the beac,h with beautiful views of the beach and awesome sunsets.
See stars.
See stars.
It was absolutely wonderful and we would be happy to recommend this place to others. Will definitely come back here.
Highly recommended, beautiful villa with nice sea view. Monica is a wonderful hostess, friendly and professional. Will definitely return.
We really enjoyed the weekend, the house has all the basic facilities and more. The view was lovely, you can sit on the balcony all day and watch the ocean. Would love to go again.
My family and I had a wonderful time at Sunset Villas. Access to the beach and the large balcony meant that everyone could just relax and enjoy the sea and wonderful sunsets. We will definitely be back.
Truly a great place to relax.
Had a great time! Fantastic view of the sea and beach right in front of the apartment. Friendly and helpful staff.
This is a lovely apartment with a beautiful view! We had a very nice stay. I personally do not like the area where it is located.
The Villa was spacious and has a stunning view of the ocean, definitely value for money and perfect for a relaxing weekend.
Good and clean apartment. The location is a little off-track, however, it's right on the beach and offers sea views. Good place for a family with kids. Secure.
