Gorgeous spot in a tiny little town with lots of good hiking nearby. Our two nights here were some of our favourite of the two weeks we spent in South Africa.

Amazing views, great staff, memorable experience

I spent 3 days at Villa Marine and don't regret a single minute of it. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, the hotel is cozy and the views amazing, and it made me feel I was in a good friends' house. Susan and her staff drove me where I needed to go and bent over backwards to make sure I was well taken care of. When I signed up to stay at Villa Marine, I did not know what to expect, as the only place I had read about it was from the Internet. I was not disappointed. The house is literally right next to the ocean and I could sleep with the sliding glass doors open to the sound of the waves and the cool ocean breeze. Pringle Bay is a unique, off-the-beaten path, little town and I had so much fun exploring. It is close to a beautiful botanical garden, the penguin colony at Betty's Bay, and beautiful beaches. I can't say anything negative about this place or location.

Hospitality Exec

The young lady at the front deck was accommodating. Coffee cups and cereal bowls at breakfast are cumbersome, especially when served on such small tables. For example, remove the saucer. The balcony loungers were covered in bird manure, and there was a hole in the deck where someone attempted to javelin a parasol. The housekeeping staff member seemed to be distracted by her mobile phone, which was inhospitable. I asked for the room not to be serviced whilst we were at breakfast as we wanted to freshen up before going out for the day. This was met with contempt and ill feeling by the housekeeping staff member, who refused to greet me again after that. Hence no gratuity When we returned at 5 p.m., it had not been serviced. The GM apologized and offered to take care of the room. Inattentive slow service at breakfast The property was left unlocked at night (the door leading onto the pool deck), which I queried, and the window was left open, which was concerning. The general manager was very cordial. It is a delightful property and well positioned in a beautiful part of the western Cape coast.

Comfort with BEST ocean view

This was our first breakaway to Pringle Bay. Struggled to decide where to stay, but are we pleased that we decided on Villa Marine. Will pick this B&B over and over - best view in town, the ocean on your door step and the jacuzzi was our highlight of the day. As the wind can blow very strong in Pringle Bay, we still enjoyed the sun, the view and could relax in the jacuzzi with a light ocean breeze. Friendly host and never in your way, but someone was always available!

Fantastic location

The views from this guest house are spectacular. Every room is facing the sea and you are so close you can almost touch the waves. Very welcoming and lovely little touches in the room from the decanter of sherry, bottles of still and sparkling water in addition to the lovely soft bathrobes. The pool had great view over the sea and nice deck to relax on. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful Setting & Stunning Views

Having had 4 nights on safari up in Kruger and flown down to Cape Town, we really wanted somewhere to chill, see the sea and relax for an evening.... Villa Marine and Pringle Bay delivered. We had one of the Jacuzzi rooms which was light, comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was also really nice. Sitting in the Jacuzzi and watching the crashing waves below was great, albeit the temperature of the Jacuzzi needs to be lowered as you couldn't stay in it for long as it was scolding. The breakfast was also beautiful and the owners and staff really friendly. Free parking outside and free wifi also very welcome. Location is close to Betty's Bay which certainly seemed less crowded than Boulders Beach if you want to see penguins. Another thing to note is the drive from Gordons Bay to Kleinmond (and Pringle Bay) along Clarence Drive. It is simply stunning and one of the most beautiful and breath taking drives I have ever experienced. One recommendation though would be to take the advice given beforehand and book a restaurant. We managed to pick up a cancellation at "Hook, Line and Sinker" which served up one of the best steaks I have ever had.

We enjoyed a very restful afternoon just soaking in the view of surf crashing on the rocks outside our room. The room itself and bathroom are lovely, as is the rest of the house. Susan, the hostess, is very friendly and helpful. A perfect spot to spend some time.

Room with fantastic view on sea

Lovely quiet place with fantastic view and lovely beach nearby.little village less than 5 mn away in car with few restaurants and cafe. Penguins colony in Betty s bay around the corner. Would recommend either room 5&6 for tub and view or top rooms for view without the tub. Room 4 not so good for view but has tub if it is what you want.lovely staff and very accommodating, let us leave stuff in their big fridge and kept our bags while on the beach during the day after we had checked out.very peaceful and I couldn't get enough of the crashing waves from my balcony, fantastic scenery.

Wunderschöne Villa in toller Lage + super Personal

Die Villa Marine war eins der schönsten Unterkünfte auf unserer Tour von Port Elizabeth nach Kapstadt - direkt am Meer gelegen, über den "Klippen" mit hohen schaumschlagenden Wellen. Der Ort Pringle Bay ist idyllisch ruhig. Auf kleinen Pfaden kann man von der Villa Marine bis zum Strand von Pringle Bay spazieren. Darüber hinaus verfügt Pringle Bay über ein tolles Lokal (Bistr 365 Grad), was man faktisch in 15min auch zu Fuß erreichen kann. Die Kriminalitätsrate ist hier sehr niedrig, so dass es sogar abends möglich ist, sich zu Fuß zu bewegen. Von allen Zimmer oder dem Pool kann man - je nach Wetterlage - einen wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang am Kap der Guten Hoffnung sehen. Das Haus ist sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Von Zimmer 1 hat man neben dem Meerblick aus dem Bett auch unter der Dusche einen ganz tollen Blick auf die "Berge" - und kann, wenn man sehr früh wach ist, auch den Sonnenaufgang über den "Bergen" bewundern. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Montags sind die Lokale in Pringle Bay geschlossen und so konnten wir uns in der Küche des Gästehauses "austoben". Grundsätzlich steht das komplette Haus den Gästen zur Verfügung, was den Aufenthalt rundum komfortabel macht.

Great B & B right on the sea

A little off the beaten track but well worth the effort. Probably one of the best B & B we have stayed in. Super clean, extremely comfortable bed and pillows, everything you could need in your room and the owners/staff are very friendly. Only stayed the one night but could have stayed another. Not much to do in Pringle Bay but it did not matter as our room and all the others had an uninterupted view of the sea.......would definately stay there again.
