The sea views are great and the hosts always friendly. It is clear that they enjoy... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights in February -agree with a couple of reviewers who found it a little over the top in decor and was surprised to see carpet everywhere - ok in bedrooms but odd in public areas when by the sea. But prefer over-fussy to not caring. Views superb, breakfast wonderful. Host could do with a... More

After a week's sightseeing in Cape Town, we stayed at Xanadu Guest Villa to "chill out" for 8 wonderful days earlier this month and had a truly memorable experience. If you want luxury accommodation with great service, located on a largely deserted beach with breathtaking sea views, then Xanadu is hard to beat. The hosts Albert and Tersia are dedicated... More

Stayed here in 2010 and liked it so much stayed again in 2011 both on the way up the coast and again back down. The reason is that the location, style and attention to details is superb. Directly on one of the best beaches( so few people it was almost private) I have been to. There were 3 of us... More

The location is absolutely divine, up on the dunes so close to the beach, great views! If people are not sensitive towards an overdecorated interior (Russia meets Dubai) or is 75+, fine! Breakfast was not really tempting with an old Nutella jar and cheeses and cold meats sweating behind cling film. For that is was completely overpriced, but owner and... More

We stay for 2 nights the end of January in The Oyster Suite. It was absolutely lovely and had a perfect view of the sunset each evening. We not only had very comfortable easy chairs in the room, but also had a private deck with chairs to watch the ocean. Our room was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Our hosts... More

Xanadu Guest Villa sits in a prime location – just off the Garden Route (N2) in Wilderness, a few miles East of George. The view from the back of the property is simply breathtaking – a private garden, then through a gate and onto a quiet stretch of sandy beach with the waves rolling in from the Indian Ocean. It’s...
