Incredible setting over Gordon’s Bay. Fantastic service and hospitality. So many small details and exceptional quality, the sheets, the bathroom amenities, books galore, honesty bar and the best breakfast experience. I wish we’d stayed longer!

Debbie is an amazing Host

Where do I even begin? From the very first message Debbie and I exchanged, I knew she was the perfect host. Let me start by talking about Debbie—she made our stay incredibly pleasant, safe, entertaining, and refreshing. We encountered some issues with our transport services, but Debbie stepped in, sorted everything out, and even offered us a complimentary ride. I reached out to Debbie to arrange a birthday and Valentine’s surprise, and let me tell you—she over delivered! She and her wonderful team, Lucia and Nariea, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. Debbie made it a priority to check in with us every single day. Chocolate Box Guesthouse was far better than we had imagined. From the complimentary breakfast with giant muffins to the free still and sparkling water, high-speed WiFi, laundry services, so many books to read, walk in closet, spacious shower & a slick tub, a beautiful swimming pool, and well-ventilated spaces, AC, the incredible view—it was truly an exceptional experience. If you’re planning to stay at Chocolate Box Guesthouse, let me emphasize this—I cannot stress it enough... Make sure you book the King Protea Presidential Suite! Thank God we did—you won’t regret it! A huge thank you to Debbie, your hospitality is unmatched and a huge thank you to Lucia, Nariea, and Dean for making our stay unforgettable. We can’t wait to visit again! 😊

Overlooking Gordon's Bay, the Chocolate Box is a paradise in which to relax and unwind. The room was fantastic with all the mod cons you could need. They even have cooking facilities and a DVD library should you want a night in. We just loved it here, the hospitality is incredible and breakfast out of this world! Thank you so much for a perfect stay.

We spent four nights at the Chocolate Box after Two Oceans and was pleasantly surprised at the proximity to the Helderberg and its wine farms and restaurants. The staff were super friendly and treated us like family. The views and sunsets were to die for and the rooms large, well maintained and very comfortable.
