Perfect stay in Sandbaii

The property is very modern, well equipped and every detail well thought out. Located in Sandbaii, the Bamboo Restaurant and beach are a 2 minute safe walk away. The hosts Carol and Alan are super friendly and extremely helpful, even offering lifts into Hermanus if we fancied a drink at night. Perfect place to relax and explore Hermanus and the surrounding area. We will be back here, highly recommended.

Amazing place to stay with exceptional hosts and quality of accommodation!

Amazing cottage with fantastic hosts. Everything was to an exceptional standard. It was wonderful to sit out on the decking and also for a dip in the pool. The beach was a 5 minute walk away. There are 2 good restaurants within walking distance and the mall only a couple of minutes drive away. Likewise Hermanus a very short drive. The platter and bubbly was lovely on arrival. Would definitely recommend staying here and we will be returning. Many thanks to you both and we loved the dogs!

Perfect oasis of calm

Perfect for a relaxing break. Stylish decor, beautiful garden & a warm welcome from hosts Carol & Alan. We very much appreciated the platter & wine on arrival too! Quiet position close to the coastal path to Onrus. We've already planned our return trip!

We had 4 very relaxing days at Saffron Cottage and it was most enjoyable

Breakfast was not provided. We liked the location as it was a short walk to the beach. Our hosts were very friendly. The accommodation was well appointed.

A beautifully decorated space that wraps you in comfort and calm. The welcome platter was a 5-star spoil. I only wish that I could've spent more time enjoying the cottage and less time working. Although it is a garden cottage with a shared garden, privacy wasn't an issue. Good security.

This cottage provides excellent base to explore Hermanus and the surrounding area.

The property is very nicely furnished and the owners who live on site are the best hosts you could wish to meet. Easy access to the beach, shops and the restaurants are only a 10 min drive. It was great to be met by owners who provided a starter pack of milk, eggs etc. They also provided some wine, cheese and biscuits to nibble while we unpacked. We will return next year!

Peacefull

The owner gave us a very warm welcome on arrival and showed genuine interest in us during the stay. The accommodation was spotless, safe and actually had everything you needed (including facial care). The bed was comfortable, the shower had good water strength and there was Netflix available on the television. There was a bbq facility and a nice view at the garden.

Very nice place, clean, spacious, well decorated and friendly owners.
