60 guests' feedbackFriendly reception. Very nicely and tastefully furnished.
The view over the sea is breathtaking. The unit is neat and beautiful. Would recommend anytime.
Best view and beautiful room.
I enjoyed my stay. I wish it was much longer.
Accommodation is extremely neat with a beautiful view of the ocean and Fynbos. Hospitality is first class. Good value for money. Highly recommend. Grateful for the opportunity.
This place is amazing. Such a good view of the ocean, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins. The owners are so nice. And only a few minutes away from good beaches and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.
Spacious, neat, clean and a beautiful view and safe. Everything you need is there. Thank you very much for a nice week-long stay.
Lovely clean accommodation. Well equipped. Lovely view. Great hosts, enjoyed our chat.
What a beautiful place. Can happily recommend if you want to switch off and relax. Beautiful view of the sea and the Dana Bay Conservancy. Lovely hosts. Thank you very much for a wonderful week of good rest and relaxation. WiFi and cell phone signal are just a little spotty.
Friendly welcome, neat and tasteful unit, beautiful view and helpful hosts.
Dana Bay is a stunning place.
We lived in the Protea room and it was beautiful! Lovely view of the sea from your bed. Absolutely worth it!
Natasha and Andries received us very well and were very helpful. Our Aloe room was very well equipped, clean and tidy, and we had a great time.
This was one of the places I would definitely use again. Als was clean and tidy. Nothing was lacking, and it is one of the most peaceful places. And his wife was one of the nicest couples we met, and they were very helpful.
We had a great time with the hospitable owners. The communication, service, and tranquility were wonderful. The place is very well located with a beautiful view of the sea. They also accommodated us to extend our stay. Very neat and clean and has everything you could need. Everything is exactly as in the photos. Thank you very much, we will definitely stop by again!
Lovely, peaceful with a wonderful sea view!
Lovely place. Nice home.
Very neat and clean apartment with a beautiful sea view. Close to many attractions which kept us quite busy. Could have stayed even longer to explore even more. Hartenbosstrand is also not too far to take a dip in the sea and get a nice holiday feeling. Thanks for great customer service.
Beautiful views! Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Very clean and tidy. All necessities were provided. Lovely quiet setting, close to the first beach. We had a lovely stay! Thank you!
Very nice stay. Neat place with a very nice view of the sea.
The first thing that caught our eyes when we arrived was the stunning sea view. It gives you that feeling of being on ocean's doorstep. We were friendly welcomed by the hosts. They were very accommodating and often asked if we required fresh towels. The room was beautifully decorated with attention to detail, and the bed was very comfortable. The house is very close to the 1st beach in Dana Bay, which is convenient, and the area is very quiet and peaceful compared to busy Mossel Bay. We can definitely recommend this accommodation!
Best place to stay and view in Dana Bay!
We wanted to book a place with a view of the sea. We got it. Was able to see dolphins, whales and also the local wildlife. Very nice stay.
What a beautiful place with a 180 degree sea view when you sit on the veranda. Calm, peaceful, beautiful and very tidy place with very nice and hospitable owners who live on the premises. Thank you very much for such a nice visit, hope to be able to visit you again somewhere in the future.
The unit is very neat with the most beautiful sea view. Natasha, thank you very much! We will definitely visit again!
Rooms are nice clean and tidy. Terribly beautiful view of the sea. Friendly welcome. Will definitely visit View on 42 again if we are in that area.
Love the place will stay there again.
I feel like I'm doing this place a disservice by giving it full marks! It was worth much, much more to us. What an outstanding stay it was, especially our host and wife!
We are sorry we could not stay even longer. The unit is beautiful, stylish, and well equipped. The owners are so pleasant, the location is perfect, and the price is very reasonable. We can't wait to go again!
Very clean and tidy and comfortable. Would recommend this place.
We could see the dolphins surfing in the waves. A beautiful town to visit.
Quiet, and feels very much at home!
As I said before, the place was very nice. Our parking area was very good behind gates. You could really sleep well without a worry, we really enjoyed it.
Owners make you feel very welcome.
We were so impressed with this piece of heaven on earth and had such a good time that we booked for an additional night (and would have liked more if our time had allowed us). Very kindly received by our hostess Natasha and host Andries who made us feel very welcome and came to check that everything we needed was there. Beautiful beautiful sea view as well as "garden" view where we saw baby goats, turtles, a porcupine, many birds and of course daily "visits" right in front of us in the sea from hundreds of dolphins and even the whales. This was truly a slice of heaven in Dana and we will definitely be back. We were in the Protea room (by choice), which is not a self-catering unit, but there is a small fridge, a microwave with cutlery if you wanted to use it. Coffee and tea facilities (with biscuits, thank you Natasha) made for early morning coffee on a nice open veranda while we watched the dolphins as they frolicked in the water. To an old hen who came every morning to do his "morning service". So that afterwards we became quite friends, so hans was he. The owners' garden itself is beautifully clean and beautiful and I would not hesitate to refer anyone there. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality Natasha and Andries. Hope to see you again in your piece of splendor. The pictures would not prepare us for what we actually experienced there. The most beautiful most beautiful.
The owners are very nice and helpful. It is safe for your vehicle inside the premises. We would go again anytime. You can come and go as you please. The view is very beautiful and it's really nice to just relax.
Very friendly and helpful hosts. Beautiful, clean facilities.
See stars.
Great place and people, neat and cozy.
We would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a safe and peaceful place to stay. The combination of a rich bird life, goats, turtles and a rooster in the garden in front of your door creates an atmosphere of tranquility and calm. The personal and friendly attention of Andries and Natasha made us feel very welcome.
Had a great time, Alas I have never liked writing essays, but everything was clean and nice and relaxed. Hope characters are enough.
Awesome location with sea view. Accommodation pleasant and comfy. Hosts absolutely wonderful.
Excellent hospitality from the owners. Would recommend this beauty of a place to anyone.
Affordable, very neat, very clean, sea view in bed, friendly people, the sound of the sea works better than any sleeping pill, dolphins seen every morning and the variety of birds that were on our porch was something to experience. Oh yes, and best shower of my life. If you want to spend the night in Dana Bay, this is the place to do it. See early December again.
Everything you usually look for in a guest house and more. Small details - soft music when you enter the room, chocolates on the bedside table, enough milk in the fridge - took me by surprise. I felt welcome from my booking until I left again.
It is the most beautiful place, very neat and creates a very peaceful atmosphere, beautiful sea view.
Friendly reception, very helpful and kind. Beautiful view and peaceful. Even Nugget the chicken was helpful as alarm clock.
Absolutely loved our stay - we will be going again.
It was quite a novelty, being in a place where you can't cook yourself, and missed it a lot, plenty of takeaways, and a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast. But the tranquility, and the rooster that kept us company, and was so sweet-mouthed, made up for it. The hostess and host were pleasant, friendly and helpful.
Warm welcome and very friendly owners. Nice, peaceful, blissful hideaway. View and birdlife unbeatable.
It is the ideal place away from the busy everyday life, the sound of waves wakes you up.
We enjoyed it very much. Can just lie in bed in the morning and drink coffee and look out over the sea. Very clean and tidy. The owners are very friendly and make sure everything goes well. We will definitely stay there again.
The wild animals and birds, and drinking coffee on the porch in the morning, and so much to look at. Start the day on a good note.
Andries and Natasha are such friendly, helpful people and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation is sparkling clean and comfortable. Thank you so much, it was awesome!
The room is beautiful, the view from the room is breathtaking and the friendliness and service at the accommodation is very good. Would happily recommend View on 42.
Very nice view from rooms. Can also admire the wildlife from your room.
The accommodation is neat, comfortable with a beautiful view.
Very friendly, neat. Fantastic sea view. Thank you very much, Natasha and Andries.
The guest room is perfectly situated to watch the surrounding animals.
The room, bathroom and coffee corner were very neat and clean. We were a bit late, but they went the extra mile to make sure everything was in place. The room has a very nice view and I can warmly recommend the place to tourists.
