Sunsets, Slow Living & Good Company at Stables Guesthouse
Where self-catering comfort, pet-friendly freedom, and real West Coast hospitality come together.
There’s something special about Stables Guesthouse that you feel the moment you arrive. Maybe it’s the way the sun sets behind the fynbos, stretching warm gold across the yard. Maybe it’s the crackle of the fire, the smell of a wood-fired pizza baking in the oven, or the soft rumble of a happy dog wandering between everyone like he owns the place.
But honestly? It’s Christelle and Dave.
They’re the heart of this spot, warm, relaxed, always ready with a laugh and a glass of wine. They’ve turned their home into the kind of place where friends become family and guests instantly feel like they’ve been here before.
Stables is fully self-catering, pet-friendly, and built for slow, easy days. Mornings start with quiet coffee moments on the stoep, afternoons drift into dips in the Kol Kol wood-fired bath, and evenings roll out around the outdoor braai, pizza oven, and long chats under the stars.
Whether you’re escaping the city, celebrating something special, or just needing a breather in nature, this is the kind of West Coast hideaway that resets your whole system. It’s peaceful, private, and packed with small touches that make the stay feel personal, because here, it is.

Why People Keep Returning
Because Stables isn’t trying to be a hotel or a fancy resort. It’s run with heart by Christelle and Dave, two people who created a space that feels like home, just with a better view and much less noise.
The Rooms & Inside Space
The inside of the guesthouse brings the same calm energy. Neutral colours, soft touches, clean finishes, and everything you need for a proper stay. Comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen, a fireplace, and enough space to unwind without bumping into each other. It's simple, clean, and relaxing — exactly how a West Coast stay should feel.
The Outdoor Magic
The heart of Stables is the outdoor area. This is where the sunsets hit different, where the fire crackles into the evening, and where people end up sitting long after they planned to go inside.

Where Evenings Turn Into Memories
Step outside and everything slows down. The KolKol wood-fired hot tub warms up beside the pool, perfectly lined up with the sunset so you soak with that golden glow drifting over the fynbos. It’s the kind of outdoor space where you wander barefoot, throw a few logs on the fire, take a dip, and let the night roll in soft and easy. Whether you’re sipping wine, stargazing, or just unwinding after a long week, this spot hits that sweet balance between cozy and wild, a proper escape right on your doorstep.

Your Own Outdoor Kitchen. Fire, Flavor & Good Times
Nothing beats making food outside at Stables. The wood-fired pizza oven brings that proper slow-cooked flavour, and the open kitchen setup turns dinner into part of the experience. Whether you're rolling dough, grilling something simple, or just hanging around the fire with a drink, this spot becomes the heart of the evening. It’s relaxed, warm, and made for those long chats that stretch late into the night.
Fire Pit Evenings With a View
There’s just something about gathering around an open flame. The outdoor fire pit area gives you that classic West Coast vibe, comfy seating, a wide-open view over the KolKol and pool, and the kind of quiet that makes conversations stretch late into the night. Whether you’re braaiing, warming up with a drink, or just soaking in the stillness, it’s the ultimate wind-down spot after a long, lazy day.
