Thys was a great host, very responsive and helpfull. The house is a true gem with great amenities such as the Hot Tub, Bean to Cup Coffee machine and so much attention to details. Super clean, best finishes in the house, enough firewood to really be able to enjoy all the fireplaces and braai’s to it’s full potential. The estate and surrounding nature is amazing. Best place to stay in Gansbaai.

“The most dreamy place in the most beautiful estate. An escape from the pandemic, perfect getaway for my 30th birthday. Would go back in a heartbeat!”

“What a joy and surprise this fynbos wonderland was! The Black Barn is aesthetically perfect to fit in and celebrate in synergistically with its unique location. All comforts were seen to, with special l type personal touches too, like gentle music wafting through the huge glass doors as we arrived! Heaven and pure peace! Thank you, Thys.”

“If you are planning on coming here, let me tell you, you won't be disappointed, the real thing is even better than the pictures! The contact was fast, efficient and always helpful. I asked for some extra details for my wife's birthday and the went above and beyond with it, couldn't ask for better hosts! Amazing views, stylish decoration, 180° views (even at night), privacy, spotless, can't wait until we're back again.”

An incredibly beautiful villa in a secluded location with extraordinary kilometer-wide panoramic views of the sea and a natural beach for the members of the guarded community. It was by far the nicest accommodation of our stay in South Africa. The host was always very helpful and immediately available: Thanks again to you, Thys!
