"Zehn Tage am Goukou River"

Durch Zufall stießen wir auf das liebevoll geführte kleine B&B. Es liegt beschaulich und ruhig, keine 100 m vom Flussufer entfernt. Die Zimmer sind hell, groß und sehr freundlich gestaltet. In der kleinen Kitchenette findet der Gast alles, was er zur Selbstversorgung benötigt. Selbst Kaffee, Tee, Zucker und ein paar Biskuits stehen parat. Vor der Terrasse kann jederzeit gegrillt werden. Ein kleiner beheizbarer Pool lädt zum Erfrischen ein, die angrenzende, geschmackvoll gestaltete Lounge zum Verweilen.

Nicht weit entfernt gibt es verschiedene Restaurants, Supermärkte und kleine Geschäfte. Der Strand und die hohen Dünen sind keine 2 km entfernt. 

Das besondere an dieser Unterkunft aber ist, die Zugewandtheit von Annette und Craig Thorne und deren außergewöhnliche Hilfsbereitschaft, ihren Gästen gegenüber. Gesprochen wird Deutsch, Englisch & Afrikaans.

 

Overall: 5-Star Rating *****

 

"Wonderful stop - despite the rain!"

Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

Annette, Craig and eldest son, Jonny, were wonderful hosts. Bad rain meant that kayaking wasn't an option but Annette spent ages answering our questions and making recommendations, even letting us use her lounge for the internet when the weather interfered. 

Our room was lovely, the view was brilliant and the gentle guesthouse dogs kept my boyfriend entertained for hours. We would happily stay again...

From The Anchorage we went to the Garden Route Game Lodge, just 40 minutes up the road, where we got engaged that evening, so The Anchorage and that day will always hold special memories now.

OVERALL RATING 5-STARS *****

 

 

"Wonderful Stay"

Reviewed 3 days ago NEW

We had a few wonderful days at the Anchorage. Thank you to Annette and Craig for their extraordinary hospitality. If you look for a modern yet cosy and peaceful place to stay at good price, this is the place to go. We had a lovely decorated clean room with river view and a nice terrace. The surroundings are beautiful, with the river just 50m away and the beach nearby. The children especially enjoyed the pool and the canoeing. We will definitely be back!

"Lovely place strongly recommended"

Reviewed yesterday NEW

This is truly a lovely place and an unexpected true pleasure. The room was spacious and modern, with all amenities provided. The hosts, Annette and Craig, were friendly and extremely accommodating with everything we required. Their stylish personal touch obvious on the property and attention to detail and ideas, add, to the already natural beauty of this spot. The pool and lounge area is stunning and to be enjoyed. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in The Anchorage and it added value to our vacation in Stilbaai.  5-Star Rating *****
