Delicious Monster Accommodation

The stay was lovely. The lodge is walking distance from the beach, and it has an exceptional view. The service was lovely and overall aesthetic of the place was remarkable. The pieces of art done by the owner herself and the local art and sculptures were eccentric and lovely. Highly would recommend!

We had an unforgettable stay at this lodge! The view was absolutely breathtaking – truly the best we’ve ever experienced. The architecture of the lodge itself was stunning, blending elegance and comfort seamlessly. The owner is a true artisan, with a remarkable collection of art pieces, including her own beautiful paintings, pottery, and home goods. Her kindness and accommodating nature made us feel so welcome, and her warm smile brightened every interaction. The cleaner was also incredibly kind and helpful, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking beauty, comfort, and exceptional hospitality!

Where ever you go, you going to find some negative reviews, simply because it is impossible to please or cater for every person's desires. However, I can tell you, that there aren't many places on the planet like this, an absolute hidden gem in South Africa. I loved every minute of my 3 weeks that I spent at Delicious Monster. This subtropical climate makes you feel like you on some exotic island, tons of bird life, many which are unique to the area and plant life that's simply out of this world. To top it off the host was lovely and made my stay even more comfortable than ever.

Delicious Monster Accommodation is located north of second beach, which was a little more beyond town than expected. The beach itself is quite popular with several drinking spots nearby making it unpleasant place to drive past for a family seeking calm and quiet. However, the accommodation itself is secluded, calm and with a beautiful view. The pictures are quite overstated though. I was also little taken a back by the "gable" type family room with thatched ceilings and high stairs - no doubt exciting for my 3 y/o but also a tad unsafe. Overall, the place is ok, the host nice but I'd lower my expectations based on the pictures published on the accommodation site.

The house has amazing view, tastefully furnished, clean and pleasan. We were lucky as we were the only guests and had the whole house for ourself, delicious breakfast, excelent barbecue, very pleasant owner. |Poor accessibility, roads to St Johns in very bad condition.

Beautiful place, there's no denying that, However when we stayed there (which was admittedly some time ago now) there were leaking taps, large amounts of dirt about the place and unfortunately a party was going all night long promoting us to leave before the sun was up and from what we saw we lasted longer than some other guests! We also had concerns about the safety of the vehicle as the parking lot is completely open; it would also be advisable to bring a high clearance car and get there before dark as it is a rather interesting driveway The party was admittedly on another property and I'm sure at quieter times it is more enjoyable but I can only rapport on what I experienced. But again, as far as views go it was incredible!

Waking up in a place full of nature sounds and fresh air is a blessing. Sitting outside looking over the ocean from the balcony is what we enjoyed most. Jewel the lady who received us also gave information on where to get what. The kitchen was fully equipped to cook the food going with our braai.

Forewarning : 1) the bedrooms are part of a communal building, so you will be sharing 2) the restaurant might be out of certain items, but they are very accommodating! That being said : Don't let the location fool! Yes you need to drive through what appears to be a township of sorts, but regardless of the drive and the locals (who appear to be exceptionally friendly), this place has blown away my initial expectations. The view from your room gorgeous, and makes you feel like you are in the middle of a rainforest. The restaurant food is on another level (especially the seafood!) Loved the stay, loved the food!
