Honnehokke Resort

We are proud to be a TGCSA 3 Star graded establishment. The Honnehokke Resort was the first establishment offering accommodation in Hondeklipbaai. The Honnehokke Resort was established in 1993, renovated in 2013, and has been pointed out by various magazines as the most friendly holiday establishment on the Namaqualand, West Coast.

Our chalets are spacious, homely, comfortable, clean, and fully equipped. Should you need anything, we will try our best to provide it. Experience an exquisite sleep under our goose-down duvets. We can accommodate one to six guests at affordable prices. All our chalets have en-suite bathrooms in the main bedrooms, no need to venture outside in the middle of the night. Each chalet has a private braai area, but should you prefer, you can also make use of the braai area in the entertainment area.

The Honnehokke Resort is a tranquil oasis for those tired of the buzz of city life. You can relax with a book from our extensive library, enjoy hours at the beach, without having to share it with others, wander around in safety, watch the beautiful sunsets, go cycling, and many more. We also offer you table tennis, a pool table, and foosball. For the energetic, we have a Trojan Power Station Gym.

We also welcome your small breed socialized pets, as we know you love yours as much as we love ours.

We pride ourselves on the fact that we have the only covered swimming pool in town where our guests, those not brave enough to face the cold waters of the ocean, can cool down. The swimming pool and entertainment area now are under-roof to provide shelter against the well-known West Coast wind.
Our location in Hondeklipbaai is wonderfully unique and rugged, but this comes with its problems too. Hondeklipbaai is a small town on the Namaqualand West Coast, and actually part of the Namib desert. The town has limited amounts of water available. While all our chalets have hot water thanks to efficient gas geysers, it does sometimes happen that the municipal water pressure is too low to allow the pilot light to ignite. When this happens, we switch over to the backup system which uses water from our own private water tank to increase the pressure and allows the geyser to ignite. However, we do everything we can to ensure the comfort of our guests.

When there are a lot of tourists in town, it does happen that the town's water supply gets to low and we then have to ask guests to work sparingly with the water, sometimes we even have to limit the times when we can use our tank water. "Save water and shower together:)".Some more important information: Hondeklipbaai can only be reached by dirt roads (shortest 55.5 km), which might not always be in a good condition.

We have frequent unexplained and unannounced power cuts. Cell phone coverage and internet availability are unreliable.

Breakfast can be booked prior to arrival. It is important to stock up on supplies before heading to town.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OTHER ESTABLISHMENT IN TOWN AND OUR FACILITIES ARE FOR OUR OWN GUESTS ONLY.

    20 August 2018

    "The village is remote but the people are friendly and helpful. Our host helped us immensely with maps, info and items we did not have. No nearby ATM, petrol station or supermarket so only small shop to get supplies, so actually a list of necessary items would have been helpful. Accomodation was comfortable."

    05 December 2015

    "<p>Our car broke down. We had booked for 3 nights at the Honnehokke resort, but we could only make it for the last night, due to repairs that had to be done on the car. Our generous hosts gave us one more night, free of charge! Thank you so much, that made our day(s)! We stayed in Kennel 1 and there was not one thing that we needed, that was not supplied. We had lovely weather and we really enjoyed our time there. Thank you so much! God willing, we will see you again.</p>"

    07 October 2014

    "The room we had was very run down and was dark and dingy. The owner is very helpful and friendl, and there is a nice pool area.Nowhere to eat in the area - ate at the Rooi Spinnekop, only restaurant, and the fish was extremely greasy and gave me severe food poisoning."

    10 August 2013

    "Very nice, my first time to visit this area. I found the people of both the chalets and the Rooispinnekop Restaurant very friendly, warm and sincere. I will definitely go back there sometime in future. For a city dweller this is a place to experience, it speaks to your heart and it feels like you can breath there."

    12 May 2013

  • "Hondeklipbaai, love it or hate it"

    07 January 2013

    "Honnehoek Chalets, Hondeklip, absolutely the answer for a complete breakaway from the big city. This was our second visit and Attie and Esme, as usual the perfect hosts, made us feel completely at home for our 8 day stay. Ask Attie nicely and he will cook you a dinner that you will go far to beat, and don't forget to ask for his Seaweed Chips!"

  • "What a little town of character"

    23 December 2012

    "In the words of a local: "'n kak goeie keuse." Thank you guys for a lovely stay at the Honnehokke, an oasis after roughing it up for a few days."

  • "Not again!"

    05 September 2012

    "Had a terrible stay at Honnehok Chalets. We arrived after a long trip and were met by a staff member who showed us to our chalet where we found other guests had moved in! We were offered another room next door and decided to take it. There was no hot water and the owner tried to fix the problem to no avail. Only one knife in the cutlery drawer. We cut our two-day stay to one and left the next morning. They need to up their game a lot!"

  • "Adequate"

    27 August 2012

    "Basic but adequate."

  • "Baie geniet"

    18 August 2012

  • "Our favourite"

    03 June 2012

    "We traveled all along the West Coast and enjoyed every moment. Hondeklip Baai was our clear favourite and we just loved the Honnehok Chalets. The only regret is that we did not spend more than one night. The chalets are very cozy, clean and well kept. Remember to eat at the Rooi Spinnekop restaurant when in Hondeklip Baai, it is an absolute must and the food is gourmet quality."

  • "Honnehok"

    16 April 2012

    "The accommodation was great. The friendliness and helpfulness of the owner deserves 10 stars. Not to mention the braai's; guitar and singing, which made for great evenings. Will recommend this accommodation over and over. Thanks for a great time. Brian Silks Jock Grove Cape Town"

  • "What an experience"

    26 July 2011

    "Not having been to the West Coast we did not know what to expect. After a good night's sleep in our own honnehok, I can today challenge everyone to visit the Honnehok in Hondeklip Bay you will not be dissapointed."

  • "Honnehok Palace"

    03 May 2011

    "The Honnehok Chalets were a big surprise – neat and clean with all amenities. The owner, Attie, is the perfect host. What is very special is the artistic touch – each "hok" has a different atmosphere brought about by clever paint techniques and matching décor, professional hand-made furniture, and an array of lovely hand-made crockery. Definitely a place to visit again and again."
