Budget Getaways Review
Okay, we admit, this one sits somewhat out of the Budget Getaways price ballpark (at R600pp nightly - gulp!), but we still feel it's worth a serious consider for that occasional self-pampering weekend - birthday, anniversary, impulsive splurge, that type of thing.
You can't get much closer to the heart of Kleinmond than Harbour Road, with it’s mix of low-key seaside eateries, shops and entertainment centered around the town’s harbour - a mini version of the mother city’s V&A Waterfront, come to think of it.
Right in the thick of this action is Harbour Road Self-catering Apartments - a five-pack of slick loft apartments overlooking the pounding Atlantic Ocean.
To set the scene, some guest feedback: “I would recommend this place to anyone,” says one visitor. “Stunning setting with the most beautiful views of the ocean,” gushes another.
Set above a row of trendy shops and restaurants, all five apartments are glass-fronted and face-on to the ocean.
The interiors are modern and designed to take full advantage of the gorgeous views from both upstairs and down.
Each apartment is split between a mezzanine and groundfloor level. Upstairs you’ll find the double bedroom with Queen bed, while the living area, open-plan kitchen and shared bathroom is below.
In case the babysitter has dropped you in favour of Plett Rage, there’s a double sleeper couch in the living room.
You’ll find a spread of entertainment on tap in the living room, including WiFi and DSTV.
Throw open the sliding doors and let that ocean in - it's so close you can just about taste it. Crack open a bottle of Graca, gooi a fish onto the small portable braai, you're all set to live the high life.
With a platter of decent eateries on the doorstep, and the gentle bustle of Kleinmond’s harbour, easing into the day with a 'cino at the local is the way to go.
Caffeine loaded, there's plenty in the way of hikes in the surrounding mountains, horse riding, fishing and the joys of Kleinmond’s long Blue Flag beach.
Close to home, amazing views, luxury finishes, restaurants a mere stroll away, this is one that may be well worth paying extra for.
"Overall very good, although a little bit noisy at times due to the wind blowing and being above the restaurants."

"We had a fantastic stay and the view was absolutely gorgeous! To wake up in the morning to the sight and sound of the ocean was absolute bliss. It was just hubby and myself so we had a cosy and romantic getaway."

"I went through to Kleinmond, to get away for a while and recharge my batteries. My main aim was to do nothing or everything. I just wanted to have some time to think and enjoy myself. I found this at the Harbour Road Apartments. The scenery was beautiful, the apartment was clean and comfy. Thank you to Karen and her team who arranged everything on that side and were available whenever I need them. I have already recommended Harbour Road and Budget Getaways to friends."

"My daughter and I spent a lovely Easter weekend in Kleinmond. what a gorgeous, not-so-small, spot. Harbour Road Apartments are cleverly situated, close to numerous restaurants and unique shops. We enjoyed an invigorating 5km coastal walk. The apartment was super clean, modern & cosy, with stunning views. Close to the action. I wish the developers would build exactly this in Blouberg."

"Beautiful stay in Kleinmond, very friendly and nice room."
