Crayfish Lodge

Exceptionally nice accommodation We thank you for the great time and wonderful stay at Crayfish Lodge. The fantastic location just above the sea, with unobstructed views of the beach and whales. It is an exceptionally beautiful and tasteful accommodation that is second to none due to the carefully selected decoration in a modern, architecturally harmonious house. Our Panorama Suite was a dream with sea views that left nothing to be desired. The very extensive breakfast with fresh smoothy, fresh egg dishes and lovingly arranged treats, was something for connoisseurs. We felt very comfortable and especially the private atmosphere, unlike in a hotel, was very pleasant. Thank you, not only for the good culinary restaurant tips reserved for us, but also for recommending nature and the beach walk with whale watching. This has made us richer with a special experience. We are infected by South Africa and will definitely come back, to which Crayfish Lodge has contributed greatly with the kindness of its owners and all the staff. Thanks for an unforgettable stay.

Wonderful lodge with magnificent sea views - “A piece of paradise in De Kelders” I was there the for the second time. Now that the owners have completely remodelled it, it has become even more exclusive. The lodge is located in De Kelders, on Walker Bay – ideal for nature and sea lovers. From there you can watch whales (in season) and enjoy the coastal landscape. The beach can be reached in a short walk through the Fynbos. The accommodation is unique and the breakfast an absolute dream. There was nothing missing and you could place an order the day before for what you especially like for breakfast and that was then also organized from the local bakers and butchers. The rooms and bathrooms (huge rain shower) are exclusively equipped and you even have a bidet which is especially important for me. In the evening we enjoyed the sunset with a delicious glass of wine (chosen in the in-house wine cellar), the view was unique. Very difficult to describe in words. And when it got cold outside at dusk, the fireplace was turned on for us and a cheese platter was presented on the house. I will definitely come back and can highly recommend this accommodation. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming that you feel like you are visiting family. Heike B, Bad Homburg, Germany, 4 Nov 2025 on TripAdvisor

Excellent! Very good in all matters! Sandra, Reinhard and the entire team welcomed us warmly. Room was top notch, views stunning and breakfast outstanding. Dear Sandra, we hope to be able to come back one day. CPLP, Erfurt, Germany, 2 Nov 2025 on TripAdvisor

Highly recommended, luxurious lodge where everything is just right: Location, facilities, care A wonderfully located, perched above the coast, newly renovated lodge. The view over Walker Bay, which is the playground of many whales during whale season, is unbeatable. Not even a handful of suites, all impeccably maintained, allow the guests to feel absolutely exclusive. Everything's right here. For the two hosts Sandra and Reinhard and their highly trained crew, the warm care of the guests is the top priority. This succeeds so well that you do not want to leave here at all.

Whow! Great accommodation, great views, whales frolicking in the bay, nice hosts and staff, if you don't like it here, you don't like it anywhere! Norbert W, September 2025 on TripAdvisor

Great!!!! It was a wonderful time at Crayfish Lodge. The room was very tasteful and clean and the view a dream. Also the breakfast has delighted us every day. Everyone in the house is incredibly friendly and accommodating and we felt very comfortable. Sandra and Reinhard strive incredibly hard to fulfill every wish and answer every question about an excursion and manage to do so. Happily any time again!!!! Martina L, September 2025 on TripAdvisor

An unforgettable stay Dear Sandra, dear Reinhard, we stayed with you last year early October and it was just fantastic! The lodge and the rooms are super cozy. The view of the bay and the view of the whales unique! Not to forget we may mention your breakfast made with a lot of love. Thank you for the great stay with you, we would love to come back 😍 P.S. Sorry, for the late review 🙂 N8114RYannak, 2 August 2025 on TripAdvisor

Warm hospitality in dreamlike surroundings A dreamlike accommodation with a warm family atmosphere, you immediately feel welcome! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, just magical. Everything is spotlessly clean, lovingly decorated and incredibly cozy. Perfect to relax and experience real hospitality. We will come back!

Mega hosts in dreamlike house Incredibly great hosts who have warmly and very personally welcomed and looked after us. The view of the bay is simply a dream. Spacious rooms with a real luxury feel, perfect. We will definitely come back, we enjoyed the stay very much. Roland K, 18 April 2025 on TripAdivsor

Beautiful house with sea views A beautiful lodge with great sea views. The rooms are very nicely decorated - the bathroom was very large with bathtub, 2 showers and sinks. Also from here (we had a room on the top floor) you had a very nice view of the sea. Breakfast was fantastic - everything your heart desires. Nothing was missing (fruits, vegetables, cold meats, cheese, eggs, pancakes, yogurt, cake, coffee, tea, juices.... and much more) All very lovingly prepared. Both Sandra, the host, and the entire staff were very warm and helpful. We would definitely come back! 896tanjaj, 8 June 2025 on TripAdvisor

JUST BEAUTIFUL We have been the 4th time for 6-8 days at Sandra and Reinhard's. I don't think there's much to add anymore. Arrive and feel at home. Sandra welcomes you with warmth and great joy. You get a lot of great tips. The rooms are very nice and each guarantees a great view. The house is very stylish and greatly decorated. Also, last year they did some very nice renovations. Breakfast leaves nothing to be desired. In the evening you can order a very good cheese platter and wine. Saying goodbye is always very difficult. We will enjoy the hospitality next year for the 5th time. J8607LGellenb, 4 June 2025 on TripAdvisor

A place to return again and again. It is a perfect location with beautiful views of the bay and a small path leads directly from the lodge garden down to the sea. Very tasteful and well maintained lodge. Super friendly owners and the best breakfast in Western Cape!!! 123marlisc, May 2025 on TripAdvisor

Dreamlike beautiful lodge A beautiful lodge down to the smallest detail with breathtaking views and insane hospitality. Unfortunately, we only spent one night there on our round trip. Thanks again to the hosts Sandra and Reinhard and their team. We will definitely come back! Sylvia K, N9856QHsylviak, 23 April 2025 on TripAdvisor

Super nice landlords in a great ambience. Super nice and well maintained guest house with very nice country lords. Super tips and perfect organization of the boat tour.

Recommended lodge Again a great trip and we were welcomed again very nicely at the Crayfish Lodge. Beautiful room, comfortable beds, great sea views. The house is stylish and very tastefully decorated with a large open kitchen where guests have breakfast together. Breakfast is lovingly prepared, with all sorts of treats, leaving nothing to be desired. We would come back!!!! Iris K, 11 April 2025 on TripAdvisor
