"Louis and Jena were the most welcoming hosts we have ever had. The house is virtually on the sea and it was such a pleasure to sit on the balcony and look over the sea as far as the eye could see. The staff was very friendly and the rooms very clean and our bed superb. The breakfasts were wonderful, with every morning something else to eat. Louis told us which restaurants was the best and they even booked it for us. Jena went to great efforts with the interior decoration of the house. I will definitely recommend this guesthouse to my friends."


"Wonderful!"

(United Kingdom) Alan Gilham

"138 Marine is a beautiful Guest House with a quite spectacular view. Everything there was 'top-drawer'. Spotless accommodation, excellent food and very helpful and friendly hosts. And a very good little restaurant (Bamboo) just around the corner."

"Excellent Place to Stay"

(South Africa) Christiaan Krone

"Very good stay - Sandbaai is an excellent place to stay, close to Hermanus yet away from the crowds. The house is spacious, stylish, safe and comfortable. Views from the balcony were special."

"We had a marvellous time with Jenna and Louis! The room was great, the view was stunning and Jenna & Louis helped us with everything they could.

Excellent! "

"We arrived earlier on the Friday afternoon to be greeted by a homely site ... grocery shopping ... and knew we would not be staying in a 'stiff' establishment, but one where you were free to let your hair hang loose!

Jena and Louis Raubenheimer were like mom and dad figures ... ensuring that our every need was met.

The view was fantastic (we had the best room in the house - Oyster) and the little touches were unbelievable ... again blown away when we received the weather report for the next day with our bed turned down.

Thank you once again for the hospitality. Whoever needs to feel loved and pampered, this is definitely the place of choice! We will most certainly be back soon!"

"A jewel of a place"

(India) Mr Khusro

"The B&B has the most wonderful view of the ocean, the location couldn't be better. If this were not enough, the all white interiors are highly tasteful and aesthetic. There are lovely little touches like the candy on the bedside every night, with a forecast of the next day's weather.

The breakfast is great, we were sorry to miss our breakfast on the second day since we had to get up early for the shark cage expedition. Estelle very kindly got up at 6am to see that we ate something.

Arguably the best B&B I have stayed in!"


"One of the best"

"I like to visit different bed and breakfasts and must say that, without a doubt, this one topped them all. Incredible setting, amazing rooms and the hosts are superb. 138 Marine Drive in Sandbaai will definitely see me again."


"Best stay in South Africa in 3 trips"

"Everything perfect! Rooms, house, views, friendly service, hair style of maid, breakfast, etc. The inside of the house looks like it was made for a design catalogue. Lots of light, open, and every detail well chosen and placed. The hosts are friendly and very helpful with every comment. The breakfas..."

The hospitality shown by Jana and Louis was fantastic and their help in general, but particularly in arranging bookings for our dinners in the best restaurants, was much appreciated. All the rooms were so inviting and our room was superbly appointed with everything we needed (and more) and the breakfasts were so varied and utterly delicious. We would love to go back again."


"lovely modern Beachfront accommodation at Sandbaai area of Hermanus"

"We stayed in the nicely laid out (semi-detached) family room in early December 2008. The bed linen was lovely, the bathroom very modern and there were even toys for kids stored in the cupboard! There is no sea view from the family room, but in the main building/breakfast room, all the walls facing the ocean are mostly glass and make for fantastic viewing of the super sunsets in the area!

Breakfast was very nice and the owners helpful. The internet was free, there was ample parking available and lots of coffee-table books on the locality to read and magazines in the room.

The only problem we had with the room was on the first night - the shower didn't drain fast enough and we flooded the bathroom floor a bit, though this was fixed by the following day.

Only advice we have to offer others is use the safe provided in the room!"
