Saxon Lodge

 
 

Description

Saxon Lodge is a boutique hotel situated in Gansbaai, the world’s Great White Shark capital, in the Western Cape, a short, beautiful, 2 hour drive from Cape Town and Cape Town International airport and an hour from L’Agulhas, the southern-most tip of Africa. This makes Saxon Lodge a great central point for exploring the Cape Overberg and its natural bounty.

The lodge was established 10 years ago and was bought and taken over by Dave and Caron in July 2011. It perches majestically above the Gansbaai Harbour providing guests with the opportunity to observe a working harbour in action as trawler boats leave and return with their catch.

The lodge boasts 9 spacious en-suite rooms, most of which have private view verandas with great sea views. All the rooms have just been repainted and individually redecorated to create a tranquil and restful ambiance, a “home from home” feeling. We have double and twin rooms and two family suites for families or groups travelling together.

A private, well stocked residents’ bar and restaurant provides privacy and exclusivity for guests to enjoy and share their experiences and space with each other. Other facilities include a plunge pool, central lounge with large format TV, FREE WIFI, ample parking and a viewing deck with spectacular views over Walker Bay and the Overberg mountains. It is commonplace to see the Southern Right Whales frolicking in the bay during their season here and the sunsets are something to behold.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the Saxon Lodge. They were very warm, welcoming and helpful folks - they even helped us arrange for our Great White Shark diving! The room was very nice.

This place is marvellous. We were welcomed so warmly despite the lateness of the hour getting there and nothing was too much trouble. The suite was so comfortable, a real home from home.
