A nature lover's paradise with a host of bird-, marine- and small wildlife and plant species. World-class golfing, hiking, sandboarding and the Overberg Wine Route are some favourite activities. The African penguin colony, whales, porcupines and baboons some of the interesting residents.

Great value-for-money, friendly staff, comfortable accommodation and a really delicious breakfast in the morning.

We had a great stay at The Trail House. Every effort was made to ensure we were comfortable and Fransel went out of her way to accommodate our 6 month old daughter. The Trail House isn't luxurious but very comfortable, and you can see that a lot of thought went into ensuring that guests have everything they need. You won't do better at this price!

However, in this instance, affordable definitely did not mean compromising quality. Thank you Fransel for making our trip so amazing. My boyfriend was also blown away by the continental breakfast which was out of this world. We had a peaceful, private, relaxing time and managed to get in two amazing hikes. For anyone who ... more

We only stayed one night and enjoyed our stay. An excellent breakfast set us up for a long drive the next day.
