I had the most wonderful stay at Pure Sea Boutique in Gansbaai

The property is set in an idyllic location right on its own private beach, offering both beauty and tranquility. The gracious owners have thoughtfully curated every detail to create the most comfortable and luxurious stay.
The décor is stunning, the lighting has a magical warmth, and my room was spacious, modern, and elegant. Every element feels intentional, from the high-quality finishes to the unique touches that make the space feel so special. I loved that they even make their own skincare product, such a thoughtful and unique detail that really sets this place apart.
You can truly tell the owners put their heart into making every guest feel welcome and happy. Their hospitality is unmatched. Breakfast each morning was excellent, and the homemade cappuccinos from their impressive espresso machine were the perfect start to the day.
I cannot recommend this gem of a lodge enough, for its warm and fantastic hosts, breathtaking setting, luxurious rooms, and the highest level of hospitality. A truly unforgettable experience.

A hidden paradise that all should experience for special occasions.

Every single thing!
The attention to detail, the design, the hospitality, the views, the amenities, literally everything was exceptional. To top it off there were zebras in the estate too!

But in all honesty, it was the nicest hotel / lodge I have ever stayed at. Pichy and Bjorn have honestly thought of it all and it honestly goes to show.
The food, the experiences and their communication was 11/10.

I would recommend Pure Sea Boutique Lodge to all. I really do hope that I will be back !

Pure Sea Boutique Lodge is really something special!

What Bjorn and Pichy have established at the Pure Sea Boutique Lodge is really something special!
There is no detail that goes unnoticed by them and their level of luxury hospitality is truly something to behold. It felt like from the moment we arrived we were their top priority and that no ask was too much! They have trained their employees to do offer a very high standard which is so noticeable and they too mirror their enthusiasm and dedication.
The food, the drinks, the service, the amenities, the location, everything is 100% we can’t wait to come back!

We used the flow spa

We used the flow spa for my Mum’s 65th birthday. It was a last minute booking due to a cancellation of a horse riding experience because of the weather. I wasn’t sure what to expect but my gosh I am so glad the activity was cancelled and we happened upon this place. Both myself and my mum had a facial and it was 60 minutes of pure bliss. We both agreed it was the best facial we had ever had. Firstly the surroundings are absolutely stunning and you feel instantly relaxed upon entering the beautiful, unique space but also the facial itself was exquisite! The owners have created something truly special and it made my mum’s birthday one to remember. We have booked to go again during our stay in the area. It’s a very special place with an amazing energy about it. Thank you x

I could go on raving forever! ☺️

My husband and I stayed at Pure Sea for two nights over Christmas. Our stay was simply perfect, from the arrival, when zebras greeted us at the entrance, to the warm farewell from the owners Pichy and Bjorn.

It's hard to describe how special this property is. Everything is so beautiful and designed with so much attention to detail. The view and the direct location on the beach are simply beautiful. The breakfast is amazing and the snacks that you can order throughout the day are also delicious. We even received Christmas presents with a personalized card on Christmas Eve!

Dear Pichy, dear Bjorn, thank you for the wonderful time with you!

Einen wundervollen Ort zum Verweilen gezaubert

Liebe Pichy, lieber Bjorn,
ihr habt einen wundervollen Ort zum Verweilen gezaubert. Man spürt und sieht in allem eure Liebe und Leidenschaft zum Detail und zur Perfektion. Sei es in den Zimmern, den vielen Möglichkeiten zu entspannen oder dem unglaublich leckeren Essen.
Die Location und Unterkunft spricht allein schon für sich, die herzliche und freundliche Art macht es aber nochmal ganz besonders.

Ein ganz herzlicher Dank auch an Nico, der immer strahlt und dessen positive Energie zum außergewöhnlich gastfreundlichen Vibe beiträgt.

Worth more than five stars!

A wonderful and very unusual place to really relax. No wish remains unfulfilled. Very personally run house with a family atmosphere. With just four guests, suites furnished with great attention to detail. We'll definitely be back.
