Tucked away on the cliffs overlooking the Indian ocean within the George Private Nature Reserve, Ballots Bay is a rare find. Situated mere minutes from the city of George, visitors are pleasantly surprised by the absolute tranquillity of the untouched surroundings that surround the residences here.
The open plan living space leads straight into nature through big sliding doors. The interior is beautifully modern, but not clinical at all – it is warm and inviting with a colourfully South African twist. Natural light and spectacular ocean views perfectly frame hundreds of hash tag moments.
Wi-Fi, En-suite bathrooms, shower, basin, bathroom amenities, linen, bedding, sliding doors to access the sun deck or garden, couch, lamps, pedestals, paintings, ornaments, rugs, scatter cushions

Hi Franck,
Thank you so much for the lovely stay.
Your place is stunning, amazing views and such a relaxing atmosphere.
We'll definitely be back in the summer.
Keep well.

The location over the cliffs was spectacular and what we enjoyed the most was the silence of the place.
Rest for your soul

Everything!!! The views are exquisite. The style is very modern The kitchen is perctly kitted out with every appliance and all the crockery and cutlery you need.

The views woow breath taking
We had an amazing stay at your place, the house is perfect and we will definitely be back.
Bright open plan house with beautiful ocean views. Tricky road to get there, but well worth it!
This house is all about the location. There's a view of the ocean from the kitchen, lounge and one of the bedrooms. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we didn't get to use the pool. Otherwise, house is kitted out with everything you need. If you get your groceries before arrival, you wouldn't need a reason to go out. It's a perfect place to relax and switch off for a bit. There are short walking trails (we didn't quite get to it) that have a bit of wildlife as well. It's not a place to come party, but to relax. The house has a really modern design, lots of light, and very cool pieces of art. Franck has quite a collection of books if that's your thing. You can gas-braai on the deck if you want. Bathrooms have towel drying racks as well, very useful.
The road to the house is paved all the way but can be tricky if you're not too comfortable a driver - it has some serious inclines (you're basically driving down and up a gorge). So you need to be a confident driver, especially in a small car - keep it to 1st and 2nd gear until you've cleared the uphill! It's still a scenic road though. Loved the little bridge/river (feels like a scenic stop) and the ocean views that tease you as you start approaching the house. At the house, one suggestion is maybe to have covers for the soft furniture on the deck (protect from dew/rain). And cleaning staff should pay a bit more attention to the shower floors. Otherwise, for the house itself, very little you won't like.
Exceptional. We'll definitely be back! Franck is also such a great guy.
It's a great combination of a bushveld like feeling but right on the sea. I really enjoyed all the hiking trails. I even did a short mountain bike ride with the owner Franck and saw all the zebras, springbuck, wildebeeste etc. Its really an exceptional property and so much to explore.
Majestic view, fast internet and a welcoming host
The house was very clean, it has a magnificent view, the interior has a modern Africa feel to it, the bed linen and kitchen utensils are of good quality, the central fireplace and supplied wood were great for the cold evenings and the 6MBit/s wireless internet connection's latency was low enough to have two Zoom meetings at the same time without lagging or for seamlessly streaming Netflix on the smart TV. I enjoyed the drive to the house, but just take note that although the entrance is close to Victoria Bay, it takes about 12 to 15 minutes to drive to the house on a single road (with lots of places to pull over for oncoming traffic).

We had to find somewhere to stay for 1 night after our accommodation that we had, was cancelled.
Found this GEM on Lekker Slaap. Had a response from Esme within 5 min. We were flying back to PMB just after 9 the next day. So it was not even 5min drive from the airport. The rooms were spacious, clean and very well furnished. The country feel was amazing and affordable. Ill keep it on my list of where to stay.
The place is clean and very neat, the owners are very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back there, it's also very secure.
The friendliness, the vibe they had going this time of the year, the beautiful scenery and the guest houses are amazing.
The views.
So central to everything.
Only the beach.
