Praise from our Guests

Great Location
Great location at the end of the road overlooking the bay. Ample on street parking. Easy for driving back to main road to explore area, or for walking around the bay where there are shops / cafes / restaurants.

Fabulous in every way
Had the privilege of staying in many memorable places but few compare to 185 On the Beach and Gordon’s Bay. The suite was superb with views to die for and to wake to the sound of the sea was very special indeed. Thank you Jeanette and her team for the wonderful experience, hope to see you all again soon

Stayed in Seaside Penthouse for final 2 days after 2 week holiday in SA. The views of Gordon’s Bay were fantastic from 2 balconies. Sunsets were great and having breakfast whilst watching a pod of dolphins was an unexpected treat. Braai was good. Comfortable beds with 5 star decor

Like a 2nd home
It was a wonderful start for our round trip in SA. 185 Guesthouse is a fabulous destination quietly located, right by the sea. Guests can reach Gordons Bay restaurants on foot. Jeanette and team are fabulous hosts. We decided briefly once again 4 days there to the end of our SA trip. Thanks Jeannette, Benard and Team.

Great views, great service, wonderful rooms.
185 on Beach is a magnificent haven tucked into the best corner of Gordon’s Bay. Our suite was beautifully furnished and the private roof deck was spectacular. Friendly and capable staff, great facilities and a wonderful infinity pool overlooking False Bay.

Excellent Stay, excellent service and just a standout/memorial experience.

Loved loved loved 185 on Beach. Booking with Jeanette was so seamless, and she was so kind, detailed and straight forward. No hidden fees, she worked promptly to address my questions and knew all the things that would matter for me/my family and proactively addressed them. And the place is BEAUTIFUL, SAFE, and CONVENIENTLY located. Exactly as pictured and the decor is so intricate — a lot of attention to detail there!!

The special touches were toys and resources for the kids, kids cribs/chairs/gates, water safety stuff for swimming for all of us, excellent service from the staff, laundry services, frequent room refreshing, baby sitting services, and generous breakfasts. It was a super wonderful experience overall and we will most certainly be back!

185 On Beach Boutique Stay.
Fantastic Experience, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a break-away. Amazing views, friendly staff, very neat and professional. We would definitely stay an extra few days next time. Breakfast served on your own private balcony – very nice touch.

Location is breathtaking.
Came on a friend’s recommendation and he is now my best friend! The attention to detail of the staff and the location made this a perfect spot for both my business trip a future trip that I wish to plan for my spouse and family. Grateful for the ability to either be served breakfast or have places close by to adventure and enjoy meals in town.

Perfect stay in Gordons Bay
So glad we found 185 on Beach. We had a lovely stay. The deck with the pool provided lovely views. We had our dinner and breakfast on the deck. The honor bar was a plus. The room was very comfortable – they thought of everything. There were lots of outlets, a safe, and supplies in the kitchen. We had a great stay and wished we could have stayed longer. Excellent staff.

Pure Excellence!
Enjoyed a wonderful birthday and honeymoon all in one! My husband was equally in awe with the accommodation, location and service received, as it was his first time visiting and my second.
Having a suite with a wonderful view and the waves almost breaking beneath our balcony was the best experience one could ask for. Thank you so much to our host Jeanette and staff for their great hospitality. We will definitely be returning again and again.
