"Beautiful clean room with a view.
Breakfast excellent with wide variety of choices "

"Beautifully decorated rooms. Christel went out of her way to make us feel at home. Great breakfast with freshly prepared home made bread. Definitely our favorite choice for stays in Struisbaai."

My daughter enjoyed the pool and lilos and we felt quite at home. The steep staircase to the room was a bit difficult to navigate at first but we soon got used to it. The guest house is in a good location, very close to the beach and shops. We will definitely stay at Mermaid again if we go to Struisbaai again."

"Although we only spent one night at the Mermaid, it was a wonderful experience. Friendly host and staff. Bright and cheery beach decor. Fabulous breakfast including the entertaining birds outside the window. Great reference for dinner at the Pelican by the harbor. And to the Michael Collins Irish Pub right down the road. A great addition to the wonderful memories I'll have of my first visit to South Africa."

"We arrived very late due to the train troubles but the manager was there to greet us with a big smile. After 27 hours on the train and 2 hour drive in a dark, we were exhausted.

Thank you Christine for your very warm hospitality and making our holiday a memorable one. "

"Beautifully furnished, very comfortable, super breakfasts with home-made cakes! Highly recommended."

"Only stayed over for one night but chose the perfect inexpensive accommodation. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable and the staff extremely friendly. The breakfast was all that we needed to kick off a beautiful day in Struisbaai. Thank you! Felicity and co."

"We really enjoyed our stay. Nice friendly staff. The rooms where nice and clean. The service and breakfast was excellent."

"My wife and I just loved our stay at the guest house - the bedding was spotless and clean, the rooms very comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious! In addition, the location of the guest house is superb - just a stone's throw to the lowest point of Africa!"

"Baie gasvry en vriendelik, ek het dit baie geniet om daar oor te bly

Die kamer was baie gerieflik en skoon en daardie see uitsig is om van te droom

Ek gaan beslis weer daar kuier en sal nie skroom om ander daarheen te stuur nie."

The rooms are decorated in the maritime style and are really clean. The breakfast was fresh (fruits,different jam) and you could order warm stuff and the kitchen just made it freshly for you.

We can really recommend this guest house if you want to stay in the area of the Cape Aghulas. We just loved it there and could unfortunately only stay one night. We would have loved to stay longer!"

"A hidden gem, made to feel welcome and felt as if we were part of the family from the moment we arrived.

This is how all guest houses should be run!"

"The room was nice and staff were incredibly friendly."

"Outstanding as always! Will be back for a holiday break!"

"Die ontvangs toe ons gearriveer het, het jou sommer dadelik tuis laat voel. Dis 'n pragige en vriendelike tuiste, het dit baie geniet en alles is so mooi. Die ontbyt was uit die boeke uit en ek het heerlik ge‘et. Die gasvryheid is eerstklas en ons kon nie vir beter gevra het nie. Sterkte en alle voo..."

The reception on arrival immediately made us feel welcome and at home. It is a beautiful and friendly establishment. I enjoyed it thoroughly and it was all so pretty. The breakfast was out of this world. This is first-class hospitality and we could not have asked for anything better. Good luck for the upcoming year."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were within walking distance from the beach, shops and restaurants. The breakfasts were divine, the rooms a pleasure to return to, and our friendly and helpful host made us feel at home. We shall definitely return."

"Beautiful place! Excellent service, warm hospitality and great breakfasts!

Will definitely recommend and visit again."

"Excellent guest house and very professional service by very friendly hostesses. Can highly recommend.

Puik gastehuis en baie professionele diens deur uiters vriendelike gasvroue. Kan baie hoog aanbeveel."

The mattress is thick and comfy, the rooms are clean and the nautical theme pulled throughout. We almost cancelled the rest of our trip to stay at Mermaid! It really was the highlight of our five day trip and we will stay there again."

"We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid. They have a prime location in Struisbaai, with the beach, shops and harbour within walking distance. The atmosphere is inviting and homely and the staff are great!! Will definitely visit again. "
