“Fabulous place with wonderful views”
We enjoyed our stay right from our arrival. We received a warm welcome from Lenny and welcome drinks in our room. The service was impeccable throughout, Lenny was very attentive and helpful. Our room was amazing with beautiful decor and the views from the pool area were stunning looking out onto Gordon's Bay beach, the town, wine hills and mountains. Breakfast was delicious, in particular the homemade muesli with yogurt and fresh fruit. The chef was kind enough to give us the recipe to make it ourselves at home. We would highly recommend staying at Kianga. We spent a wonderful few days relaxing here.

The staff were so welcoming from arrival to end. The BNB gives you a very homey feeling and it’s very comfortable. The staff put a-lot of effort into making the guests stay enjoyable. The breakfasts were delicious and the homemade Musli was delicious. I would recommend staying here.

“A slice of Heaven....”
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Kianga Guest House, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences we have ever had! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Lenny, the outstanding host who made our stay truly unforgettable. The guest house itself is a charming oasis, beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the amenities one could need. Each morning, we woke up to the soothing sounds of nature and enjoyed a delicious breakfast crafted with fresh, local ingredients. Lenny went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. He provided invaluable recommendations for local attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems that made our visit even more special. His friendly demeanor and genuine interest in making guests feel at home truly set Kianga apart from other accommodations. Whether it was sharing stories over breakfast or offering assistance with travel plans, Lenny's hospitality made us feel like part of the family. The atmosphere at Kianga Guest House is warm and inviting, making it the perfect retreat for anyone looking to relax and unwind. I cannot recommend Kianga Guest House highly enough. If you're looking for a memorable stay with an exceptional host, look no further than Lenny and his wonderful guest house. I can't wait to return!

Breakfast served à la carte with several individual choices of eggs, bread, ..... secure area with an amazing view over the bay. Lenny gave us a very warm welcome and he and Lena were extremely friendly and it was always nice to have a talk with them. The room was equipped in a very modern style, same like shown on the pictures. This is a good base to explore the area. Full recommendation. Thanks!
