Praise from our Guests
Incredible sleep and ocean viewsProbably the best bed we ever slept on. We want the same at home! Beautiful views of the ocean and the breakfast was very generous. We stayed there as a big family of 7 with 4 generations and everyone enjoyed it. Baby bath and chairs were made available for free.
Zoe_Li865, Trip Advisor ReviewTo all the staff of 185 Beach Road, thank you for your hospitality, and going the exstra mile, we arrived late at night and was welcomed with a warm and friendly greeting.
Waking up the next morning with a breath taking view and sounds of the waves breaking, made our weekend away even better!!! The room was tastefully decorated, and the spa bath and shower was awesome!!!
Thanks again for making our weekend in Gordons bay the best, we will definitely return.
78Adrie, Trip Advisor ReviewRelaxing spot over the bayThis hotel is in a great location. Our room was upstairs, with a balcony looking over the bay. It was actually an upgrade from what we had booked, which was great. Room very well presented, comfortable bed, spa bath was lovely. We would certainly like to visit again.
hg4217, Trip Advisor ReviewFabulous in every wayHad 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
GilCCHAPMAN, Trip Advisor ReviewGreat GetawayComfortable, well apointed upmarket studio well positioned on the beach.The luxury finishes and attantion to detail allowed us to relax and enjoy the few days break from our busy lifestyle. We spent many blissful hours on the private sheltered patio with the sound of the waves in the background. Ideal for couples with or without children.

Tsitsi D, Trip Advisor ReviewStayed 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
Richard S, Trip Advisor ReviewFeedback on our trip to 185 Beach RoadWhat a fantastic place for a nice getaway anytime of the year. You hardly find a good place like this place with fantastic service, best view of the beach, secure parking, braai equipment etc.
We didn’t miss our favorite soapies and sports because we had full access to DSTV. My wife was very impressed with the heated blankets and the aircon.
All the equipment you need in the kitchen, toilet, sleeping room are there at your arrival.
This place has become our 2nd home. We are busy spreading the word on the wonderful experience we had on our last visit.
I will recommended any person, couple, family, group to book and enjoy the best time of your life!

Like a 2nd homeIt 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.

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!

mvdw2018, Trip Advisor ReviewPerfect stay in Gordons BaySo 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.
Susan L, Trip Advisor ReviewPure 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.
