A Perfect Summer Escape: Wood-Fired Pizza Lunch and KolKol Bliss November 18, 2025 A Place Where You Instantly Feel at Home Stables Guesthouse, Pet Friendly • Self Catering • Nature Retreat Explore the Stay 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.

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.

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.

Fire, Flavor & Good Times Nothing beats making food outside at Stables.

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. Share 2 Elmo O'Reilly
