We just had the best omelettes ever at the Sandriver Lodge...obviously cooked with care using the freshest of ingredients = excellent flavour! I would certainly recommend experiencing such hospitality. Thank you Anneke

We liked it a lot! All that you would expect from a good B&B. Very friendly and open hosts that really took care of us. Big garden, healthy breakfast with a very tasty omelette by Anneke. The location is nice, 5 minute walk to the beach, 2 min walk to shops and restaurants, but not loud. Only a short drive... More

Right in the middle of the village of St Francis Bay is a large B&B run by the friendly and hospitable Marc and Anneke May. Its location is truly superb (walking distance from one beach and a short drive from several others) and, while it isn't ultra-luxurious, the breakfasts are superb, the rooms pretty and generously proportioned, the prices very...

The lodge is centrally located, directly across from the shopping area and close to restaurants.There are several rooms in a collection of buildings which are designed to emulate fisherman's cottages. The surrounding grounds have been set out like a beach, complete with shells, driftwood... More

Marc and Anneke were lovely B&B hosts. We cannot thank them enough for a lovely stay. Their helpful local information, banter, breakfast and hospitality were right on the spot (plus a loan of a power adapter and hair dryer). The rooms are rustic, roomy, quiet, cute and clean - exactly as advertised, so we were not disappointed. What more can... More
