Gorgeous spot in a tiny little town with lots of good hiking nearby. Our two nights here were some of our favourite of the two weeks we spent in South Africa.

The young lady at the front deck was accommodating. Coffee cups and cereal bowls at breakfast are cumbersome, especially when served on such small tables. For example, remove the saucer. The balcony loungers were covered in bird manure, and there was a hole in the deck where someone attempted to javelin a parasol. The housekeeping staff member seemed to be distracted by her mobile phone, which was inhospitable. I asked for the room not to be serviced whilst we were at breakfast as we wanted to freshen up before going out for the day. This was met with contempt and ill feeling by the housekeeping staff member, who refused to greet me again after that. Hence no gratuity When we returned at 5 p.m., it had not been serviced. The GM apologized and offered to take care of the room. Inattentive slow service at breakfast The property was left unlocked at night (the door leading onto the pool deck), which I queried, and the window was left open, which was concerning. The general manager was very cordial. It is a delightful property and well positioned in a beautiful part of the western Cape coast.

Very beautiful

This was our first breakaway to Pringle Bay. Struggled to decide where to stay, but are we pleased that we decided on Villa Marine. Will pick this B&B over and over - best view in town, the ocean on your door step and the jacuzzi was our highlight of the day. As the wind can blow very strong in Pringle Bay, we still enjoyed the sun, the view and could relax in the jacuzzi with a light ocean breeze. Friendly host and never in your way, but someone was always available!

A super place to stay. The breakfast is brilliant and They went out of the way to cater for our needs.

The views from this guest house are spectacular. Every room is facing the sea and you are so close you can almost touch the waves. Very welcoming and lovely little touches in the room from the decanter of sherry, bottles of still and sparkling water in addition to the lovely soft bathrobes. The pool had great view over the sea and nice deck to relax on. Will definitely be back.

Spitting distance from the sea !

Having had 4 nights on safari up in Kruger and flown down to Cape Town, we really wanted somewhere to chill, see the sea and relax for an evening.... Villa Marine and Pringle Bay delivered. We had one of the Jacuzzi rooms which was light, comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was also really nice. Sitting in the Jacuzzi and watching the crashing waves below was great, albeit the temperature of the Jacuzzi needs to be lowered as you couldn't stay in it for long as it was scolding. The breakfast was also beautiful and the owners and staff really friendly. Free parking outside and free wifi also very welcome. Location is close to Betty's Bay which certainly seemed less crowded than Boulders Beach if you want to see penguins. Another thing to note is the drive from Gordons Bay to Kleinmond (and Pringle Bay) along Clarence Drive. It is simply stunning and one of the most beautiful and breath taking drives I have ever experienced. One recommendation though would be to take the advice given beforehand and book a restaurant. We managed to pick up a cancellation at "Hook, Line and Sinker" which served up one of the best steaks I have ever had.

Amazing views. Very friendly service. Big comfortable rooms.

We enjoyed a very restful afternoon just soaking in the view of surf crashing on the rocks outside our room. The room itself and bathroom are lovely, as is the rest of the house. Susan, the hostess, is very friendly and helpful. A perfect spot to spend some time.

Lovely quiet place with fantastic view and lovely beach nearby.little village less than 5 mn away in car with few restaurants and cafe. Penguins colony in Betty s bay around the corner. Would recommend either room 5&6 for tub and view or top rooms for view without the tub. Room 4 not so good for view but has tub if it is what you want.lovely staff and very accommodating, let us leave stuff in their big fridge and kept our bags while on the beach during the day after we had checked out.very peaceful and I couldn't get enough of the crashing waves from my balcony, fantastic scenery.

We'll definitely come back!

I spent 3 days at Villa Marine and don't regret a single minute of it. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, the hotel is cozy and the views amazing, and it made me feel I was in a good friends' house. Susan and her staff drove me where I needed to go and bent over backwards to make sure I was well taken care of. When I signed up to stay at Villa Marine, I did not know what to expect, as the only place I had read about it was from the Internet. I was not disappointed. The house is literally right next to the ocean and I could sleep with the sliding glass doors open to the sound of the waves and the cool ocean breeze. Pringle Bay is a unique, off-the-beaten path, little town and I had so much fun exploring. It is close to a beautiful botanical garden, the penguin colony at Betty's Bay, and beautiful beaches. I can't say anything negative about this place or location.

A little off the beaten track but well worth the effort. Probably one of the best B & B we have stayed in. Super clean, extremely comfortable bed and pillows, everything you could need in your room and the owners/staff are very friendly. Only stayed the one night but could have stayed another. Not much to do in Pringle Bay but it did not matter as our room and all the others had an uninterupted view of the sea.......would definately stay there again.

Great place for a weekend get away. Clean, friendly and great breakfast and friendly service.

When we arrived the first time it was late on Wednesday and we were searching for somewhere to stop for the night. We were greeted by a very pleasant gentleman that introduced himself as the manager. He showed us the room and we instantly were full of approval, the room was spotless, the balcony looked straight on to the sea. We spent the evening looking out to see and at the surrounding mountains, when it got dark we spent the time star gazing. We enjoyed our stay so much that we came back again on Saturday night for our last night in South Africa.

I would not recommend this as a stay if you are looking for privacy. It has the sense of a living room and spare room in someones house. The rooms are spacious and clean and the bathrooms very nice. The service at breakfast is sub par.

Villa Marine has the most amazing views and is the ideal place for a totally relaxing weekend. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and Pringle Bay is a lovely seaside getaway.

My partner and I were travelling back from Hermanus and we had booked here as it had everything we were looking for, quiet, comfortable, by the sea, relaxing and the chance of seeing whales. We arrived and we were not disappointed! I had unfortunately booked wrong dates for our stay but our host was superb and accommodated us and there was no problems what so ever. We were looked after very well and never felt uncomfortable or out of place. A home from home. Unfortunately the weather turned sour so our chances of seeing whales were scuppered but from facilities to our warm service and gorgeous house we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside is it is very remote and you would have to travel 20 mins to find a decent place to eat. Other than that if your looking for a romantic or quiet getaway and want to feel comfortable and relaxed and well looked after this place is perfect. Only regret was that we only stayed for one night. Definitely recommended!

Villa Marine is a gem. We'd travelled around South Africa and Namibia for over 2 weeks and this was one of the highlights. Our room had the most amazing balcony and view that you could imagine. The place was so good that we almost changed our entire itinerary to stay another night. It is like heaven. Also book a table at the Hook Line and Sinker restaurant and you will have the ideal stay. I'm from the UK but would go back to S Africa just to go to Pringle Bay!
