    Für eine Nacht und zu diesem Preis ist die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Sie bietet alles, was man für eine Zwischenübernachtung auf der Durchreise benötigt. Funktional und praktisch – ideal für einen kurzen Aufenthalt.

A separate structure with two bedrooms was erected adjacent to a main Rondawel. Each bedroom has a private entrance which leads onto a garden. The rooms are standard with each an en-suite shower/basin/toilet. The guest rooms are great for sleep in, eat out. Parking is close to the rooms, on the property.
Guests can experience our lovely coastal town and all it has to offer. The guest’s privacy will be respected at all times.
69 on Ingang is in a quiet neighbourhood, a stroll away from the coastal path and water. A cafe is a few steps away. Gansbaai town is 2/3 km away with many great restaurants. Come and Enjoy the lovely sunsets!
