I really liked my stay at this place. The rooms were cozy and private, and I had a great time at the private beach and the heated pool. The restaurant was really nice and the food was delicious. I'm definitely planning to go back and stay for a longer time. It was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.
We love it here, far from the madding crowds in nature with endless beaches and no-one in sight. The food and service in the restaurant were excellent and our hostess, Kristen was superb. The cottages are very comfortable and clean without TVs so that you can relax totally. We never swam in the heated pool as there was quite a chill in the wind. We said we should make it our annual pilgrimage to come here.
Thank you!!! Host was BRILLIANT! I did not stay here, we drove Elands Bay and stayed in Velddrift, stopped over at this lodge because we needed 30min to recharge and grab a beer to relieve us of the heat.
The host was just the BEST and I said that we needed to write a positive review on our return to CT.
He came straight out to us while we were pulling into the lodge, “instructed us” to come chill and have a beer, went over and above… even saying ( grab your shorts and have a dip in our pools if you want )
We were not guests, we were just passing through, but the reception host… he was just a fresh slice of rainbow cake with sparkly glitter frosting!!!
Thanks so much for being so welcoming to us. We will stay here in the future, thanks for the beer and being such a positive person. Your energy is radiated through that entire place.
Situated about 2 hours out of Cape Twon along the west coast and 22 km's before Elands Bay. A beautiful and tranquil lodge. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Johan took us to our cottage. The cottage was very spacious and clean. It consists of an open plan lounge and bedroom. The bathroom has a comfortable size shower with a big basin and mirror. The towels hang over a heated rail and you can make use of a lovely soft gown and slippers. The restaurant has got a variety of foods to choose from and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We will definity visit Draaihoek Lodge & Restaurant again.
This has been a most relaxing and beautiful experience. The service was excellent and the breakfast outstanding. The place is so calm and relaxing with the most beautiful unspoiled beaches. Our morning walks was incredible with the sighting of seals and bokkies along the way.
We absolutely loved our stay at Draaihoek. Neat & clean accommodation. We took a few walks to the beach, which was absolute bliss. All the staff members were very helpful and friendly. The food was divine.
I had an amazing stay here. The food and service was great. The hostess, Kristen and chef Poppie were the best. From my first interaction with Johan at booking, till we left was 5 star. The rooms are stunning and was perfect for my hubby and I. There is literally everything you would need, from towels (and beach towels incl.) to toiletries and the cutest gowns and slippers, tea/ coffee, and a bar fridge. There are no tvs in the rooms and signal was almost non existent but I did not mind at all because I definitely got what I came for - well deserved rest. There is a lovely private beach and at night the walk way is lit up by fairy lights for a beach stroll. There are Springbok that gather at night which is lovely to see. You may want to pack in whatever snacky things you will need as there aren't any shops nearby. Would love to visit in the winter to try out the cozy fireplace :-).It was really what we needed and will definitely be back.
A great spot. It's in the middle of nowhere but that's part of its charm. The beach there (though there is no view of the beach right from the rooms) is pristine and you can walk for miles. The restaurant there is surprisingly good. Don't bother looking elsewhere to eat.
Draaihoek you the best.The waiters was amazing .The chillays is beautiful aaah ..we had our own fireplace soo romantic 😍 The food was Great!My partner is from Holland 🇳🇱 and because of the beaiutiful place called Draaihoek he fell inlove with South Africa all over again 🥰❣️
We shared time with our family at Draaihoek over the festive season. A wonderful time made so much better by excellent food, wonderful service and the sound of breaking surf in the background. Thank you ever so much.
