Views Boutique Hotel & Spa

The view over the beach from the hotel is stunning. Room overlooked the beach, with a balcony. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice with cold and Cooked options (the open breakfast sandwich was great.). We ate in the restaurant on two nights - good range dishes on the menu. The staff are outstanding and could not be more helpful. A fantastic stay.

As long-time locals in the area, we were genuinely excited to share what we thought would be a beautiful dining experience with visiting friends from Greyton and Knysna. The setting certainly delivers on views — but sadly, that’s where the praise ends. Four of us ordered the kingklip, and all four portions were overcooked, tiny, and outrageously overpriced. For a dish that should be a seafood highlight, it was an utter disappointment. The service was also slow and inattentive, and every meal that came to the table was astonishingly average given the premium pricing. What makes this experience so frustrating is that we had been raving about the venue, hoping to give our friends a taste of something special. Instead, we were left embarrassed and deeply disappointed. To say we were shocked by the poor quality of the food and service is an understatement. Sadly, I cannot recommend The Waves Hotel to anyone — it is an overpriced, overrated establishment that trades on its view rather than quality. What a shame, and what a sham.

Ein wunderschönes Hotel!
