I've been halfway around the world, staying in hundreds of hotels/guesthouses and this one ranks in my top 1%! Located between the sea and a nature reserve (part of which is in the guest house's back garden), Agulhas Ocean House is any nature lover's dream! The owners are exceptionally hospitable, with Allen giving us the best welcome we could have dreamt of! Before we even put all our luggage in the room, he showed us the magnificent garden, turned on the hosepipe and then the magic began! Various kinds of majestic sunbirds came within metres to bath themselves in the rain generated by their loving human friend! We were hoping to see one or two during our Western Cape trip, but thanks to Allen we saw dozens on single afternoon! Sheryl was equally welcoming and friendly, doing our washing, recommending and booking the best restaurants in the area for us, allowing us free use of the kitchen to make "padkos" and lending me the best set of bird books I've ever seen! She also provided us with our favourite drink-rooibos tea-upon arrival! We also connected on a different level, as both of us tried to speak to the German guests in their own language. As someone who did my PhD in L2 acquisition, I always admire folks attempting to add more languages to their repertoire! Bravo, Sheryl! The guesthouse itself is pristine clean with 5 star facilities, while its intriguing decoration is therapeutic! We had a spacious room with a very comfortable bed, ensuite bathroom and private patio. The hosts clearly know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and provide guests with unforgettable, tailormade morning meals! Knowing that we're on a plant-based diet, they provided us with the best vegan breakfast imaginable! The cherry on the cake was when wild deer walked through the garden during breakfast! Agulhas Ocean House is a place I'd highly recommend for a relaxing stay with the best hosts one could ever hope for! Just don't make the same mistake as us by booking only 1 night! If you make a booking here, do yourself a favour and stay at least 3 nights!
