Fall asleep in a cosy percale linen bed with the waves crashing against the rocks in the bay. Pringle Bay is an ideal destination for romantic breaks and nature lovers, and is the perfect base from which to explore the rich and diverse mountain landscape of the Western Cape.

    01 July 2014

    "Ganzi warmly welcomed us to the guest house when we arrived and showed us to our gorgeous room with stunning views of the ocean! The smell and sound of the ocean was exactly what we needed to unwind and relax. Everything in the room is modern and beautiful and the gas fireplace made our room warm and inviting after our dinner at a local restaurant. Breakfast was delicious and relaxed and we departed knowing we will be back!"

  • "Villa Marine"

    17 February 2014

    "We had a most relaxing and romantic weekend at Eben and Susan's place. From their friendly greeting on Friday to their Sunday morning chit chat around the breakfast table, we felt right at home. Our room (Exec 1) was perfect in every way, with the most beautiful view imaginable and a lovely large balcony to view it from. We opted to stay in both nights and we enjoyed it so much that we did not want to leave on Sunday. I would highly recommend this venue and would definitely be back. Maybe in the winter next time, to experience the fireplace setting."

  • "Absolute Bliss!"

    03 February 2014

    "After a botched trip to Hermanus due to a bad guesthouse experience, within 1hr our booking was made for Villa Marine and since the minute we walked in, we were treated as royalty! Attention to detail is amazing and the location is breath-taking. Sunset walks are a definite and the rooms are perfect. Definitely my best GH experience yet!"

  • "Pringle Bay"

    29 October 2012

    "The accommodation, the food and the views were very nice. Pringle Bay does offer an element of charm and the people are very friendly. One gripe is the electricity went off and we were then not able to use the jacuzzi which we paid a lot more for in the room. Although this was not the owners fault, it is still dissapointing that we the guests incurred all the losing out on our money and the experience."

  • "A special experience"

    15 June 2010

    "We stayed at Villa Marine Guest House for week. Villa Marine is normally a guest house but the owner Eben allowed us to stay with them on a self catering basis. The facilities are clean, the rooms are luxurious and we really needed a full week to soak up the beautiful surrounds including the spectacular sunsets from the private jacuzzi's that the downstairs rooms have to offer. Thanks you Eben and crew for a lovely stay, we will be back as soon as possible."
