Great place for the visit of Cape Agulhas. Very nice place close to Cape Agulhas with lovely hosts. Carol and Gert even offered/gave us 2 separate rooms for the same price so no 'fight' over the one huge duvet during the night. Wonderful breakfast with homemade bread and jam.

A very clean and very quiet B&B. Host extremely friendly and accommodating. Room pleasant size. Breakfast was absolutely amazing. In any case 1A recommended. We will definitely be back.

Birgitta Wels

Our first night on the trip. Gert and his wife greeted us warmly. We got many helpful tips from you for excursions and a great restaurant recommendation for the evening. We did not book breakfast for lack of time, but it smelled nice of eggs with bacon in the morning. Next time for sure. Nice room with a view of the ocean.

Elsie Van Rooyen

Just perfect. Will definitely stay over at The Sun Catcher B&B again. Our host were so friendly and welcomed us into her guesthouse like old friends. The guesthouse is so beautiful. Most beautiful room. Bed was comfy and room decorated with so much style.

Our first time visit to Struisbaai and our stay at The Suncatcher B&B. This seaside guesthouse has exceptional quality accommodation for a comfortable stay, which exceeded our expectations. Carol and Gert thank you for making us feel welcome. Doggie Luca did the same.

Carol and Gert are exceptional hosts! We received a warm welcome and had a great conversation with both of the hosts. The house and location are beautiful! Everything is neat and tidy. The food is exquisite and all prepared fresh in the morning. The homemade bread is a winner!

Carol and Gert did make us feel at home right from the start. The breakfast was outstanding with more than what we can eat. We love their place; it feels like home with all the beautiful antiques. It is also very well located, close to all the places worth visiting.

An unexpected surprise. The personal touch made it very special. It was a privilege to meet Gert and Carol, and to get to know each other a bit better. And the delicious breakfast was the cherry on the cake, especially the fresh-baked bread. We had a special room with a beautiful view of the sea. We hope to meet soon again.

Mariaan Brand
South Africa

Fantastic! We liked the sea view, the very nice and clean room and all the extras in the bathroom, the friendly owners and delicious breakfast. They go out of their way to make it pleasant for you. There was nothing we didn't like; we would definitely go again and recommend this to anyone.

Ernst van Zyl

We loved the whole package! Beautiful location, stunning suite with all facilities that one can wish for! Very friendly and helpful hosts that rounded off our short stay in Struisbaai. I can recommend The Sun Catcher to anybody that want a romantic weekend away, or for a longer holiday almost on the beach.

Martien Prinzie
Belgium

Friendly owners, very large room. Possibility to order breakfast which was super delicious! Homemade bread and jam. Safe neighbourhood. Own solar system against load shedding.

Yvonne Herster
Germany

Great B&B! We received a very warm and friendly welcome. The accommodation was located directly on the beautiful coast of Agulhas and it took only a short time to reach the surrounding restaurants and the beautiful beach. The hosts both spoke German, which is of course incredibly helpful as a guest when you can converse in your native language. We had a great and very personal exchange and felt very comfortable. Thank you for the great time!

Gavin Norman
South Africa

Firstly, I have to say "I'll be back, Sun Catcher!" Gert and Carol were the perfect hosts. The wife and I, along with two good friends enjoyed every minute of our stay. The accommodation, the view, the breakfast and hospitality was everything we hoped for and much more. Gert and Carol were absolutely phenomenal hosts, really such a blessing. We had the continental breakfast which was excellent especially the homemade breads. Would definitely recommend same. During the hectic storm we were unable to return to Cape Town the Monday and Gert and Carol were so accommodating which we really appreciated. We need to mention that their furball, Luka, was absolutely precious and what a character. Will most definitely go back and would highly recommend this accommodation.

Chrismarie Koekemoer

Thanks to our hosts Gert and Carol, we had a wonderful stay, always making sure we have everything we need. Loved the breakfast Sun Catcher special, made with love. Will definitely be back.

This was my first time in Struisbaai and my husband’s first time staying at a B&B. Our experience at the Sun Catcher was nothing short of exceptional! Location to the beach and main attractions are excellent. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

Bertan Zehir

We booked two rooms at Carol & Gert's place. 11 out of 10! They welcomed us with warm smiles and a nice conversation, on top with nice tips for our visit in South Africa. Carol even called a restaurant for us and convinced them to keep the kitchen open.

Warm welcome from host. My husband fell ill, hosts were so caring and supportive even gave medication. Noticed that they treat the domestic worker with so much respect and kindness. Overall, the atmosphere in that house was so peaceful and relaxing.

A very nice guest house. Gert and Carol were good hosts. We had a continental breakfast with homemade bread and rolls; it exceeded our expectations. Very rich and delicious.

Modern and comfortable rooms with ocean view and helpful owners. Very helpful and friendly owners who answered all our questions and told a lot about the area - we appreciated it. Modern room with comfortable beds - room was decorated in a very nice way. Wonderful ocean view from one of the windows in our room. We can recommend this accommodation and enjoyed the stay!

Katy Byers
South Africa

Our 2-night stay at the Sun Catcher B&B was the highlight to our holiday! Absolutely superb! The location was perfect and the sea view magnificent! Our Room totally exceeded our expectations - the extra's (bubble bath, body lotion etc) in the bathroom - so nice and unexpected! The breakfast (traditional & continental) was out of this world. Freshly baked bread and bread rolls and the miniature figs were a surprise. Everything was served so tastefully (the food and the setting of the table) with special touches. Our hosts, Gert & Carol are the nicest friendliest people ever - very charming! They made us feel so welcome in their home! We got 5 Star treatment! The accommodation & the breakfasts are definitely value for money!

Amizo & Andros

We originally just wanted to stay one night, but we found a place for more as called home so far away from ours. Keep up the friendly and professional way of your hospitality, we will always remember you (pizza with snails, home-made bread, old bible).

Violetta Delabost
South Africa

Owners are very nice, cleaning 20 out of 10, breakfast was good, especially the homemade bread.

Jana Schuerer

If we had had more time we would have happily stayed longer. A very hearty and knowledgeable couple made our stay the best possible. The breakfast was more than adequate, varied and very tasty. The residential area is completely safe, and the area offers a lot to see. We'd love to come back.

Wiseman SHIN

My wife and I were going to stay only one day. However, we were impressed with the facilities and the hospitality of the B&B owner, Carol, so we stayed one more day. The facilities of B&B are very good and the breakfast was also very good.

Ksenia Nebogatikova

Very nice house. Comfortable room was on the second floor overlooking the ocean. The room has everything for a comfortable stay. Very friendly hosts. Cleanliness everywhere. The bed and everything smelled very fresh. The room was so comfortable that it seemed I was at home.

Ahmet Ünal

Gert was really a cool one. Was fun just sitting there with him in the morning and having coffee. You have nothing to say about the accommodation. Impeccable and everything was great. I felt like I was with relatives and totally at home.

Cosy family accommodation.

Perfect B&B in a good location with a very good breakfast. The room was very large, with a balcony and bathroom, everything was clean. The two hosts were really nice and gave us some tips for the area, restaurants, etc. Highly recommended is the breakfast with the homemade bread.

Geraldine Rudolph

Carol and Gert are excellent hosts who went the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The room is spacious and tastefully equipped with everything one would need. The breakfast is exceptional and is highly recommended especially the variety of breads and jams. It was home away from home.

Mare Meister

Lovely ocean view. Nice cosy apartment in quiet neighbourhood. Will for sure stay there again....

Tayob Haneville
South Africa

Sun Catcher is the bomb. Carol and Gert made us feel like family - they made sure that we are comfortable and went the ' extra mile ' to please us with breakfast since we are of the Muslim faith - if we could we would have extended our stay. Carol and Gert you are the best .... stay as sweet as you are. God bless.

Martina Armanni
United Kingdom

Absolutely perfect stay! The location is incredible - amazing view of the sea and in a very quiet, nice residential area with very nice houses all around. Felt super safe. The couple who runs the B&B, Carol and her husband, are just great. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home while respecting our space at the same time. They gave us lots of nice recs around the area (like the shipwrecks) and they told us a lot of interesting facts about South Africa and the local area. The breakfast was absolutely incredible - honestly one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had. We couldn’t believe Carol isn’t a professional chef! The eggs were perfect, the meat was so delicious, the coffee was great and all sourced from local vendors. The fruit and avocado were super fresh too. All served in the amazing veranda - the house is generally very well kept and curated, and the garden is so pretty. Being in the veranda feels like being right outside. The room was great - comfy bed and clean bathroom. Ceiling fan was very handy. Mosquito nets at the windows meant we could enjoy some fresh air in the night, falling asleep with the sound of the ocean and waking up with birds singing. Just lush!

Rebecca Carter-Smith

Our room was perfect, the bed was so comfortable, the hosts were wonderful, wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend the breakfast.

The warmth of the hosts. Gert and Carol made us feel at home. Their dedication to service, cordiality and predisposition made our stay at The Sun Catcher a perfect day.

Jürgen Sus

Perfect B&B, very friendly with very nice hosts who provided a warm welcome. The breakfast was excellent, especially the local sausages. Also the homemade bread needs to be mentioned. The B&B is perfectly situated close to Cape Agulhas. The recommendation of the hosts to have dinner in the most southern restaurant (3 oceans pub) was an excellent choice, wild oysters, ostrich and steaks in a typical atmosphere.

Mike Galli

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and liked everything about the venue as well as the great and friendly owners Gert and Carol.
