From my pick up from centre Durban to drop off at Durban Airport all 5 nights were perfect! I travelled alone but never felt alone, was looked after very well with both the diving and the best hostess I have come across, Nicki, who went way beyond pointing me in the right direction she would drag me to a restaurant to eat (and bar!) and put up with my rubbish stories! At the beginning I was the only diving guest but was transported to another dive centre for an inter-charter which worked out well with the lodge on the beach on time to collect me. The diving with Agulhas House was first rate with the leadership of Vagard who is very knowledgeable and a very good DM. Manager, Mike, was on hand when needed and provided excellent food for my last night Brai (bbq).

Accommodation was basic but perfectly adequate and clean and I didn't require anymore from a room.

Overall If you want a fun relaxing easy diving holiday stay at Agulhas House!

When you go scuba diving, you expect some effort to go along with your weekend away with kit and gear and such. I barely had to lift a finger all weekend! Lovely rooms. Great service. Friendly and helpfull people. Very capable dive team and skippers. Decent breakfast.
Overall a wonderful and highly recommended experience. A little more pricey, but totally worth it.

When I left, it felt like I was saying good-bye to family and friends. I traveled by myself and stayed for 5 nights. Nicki was very kind and was a very good hostess going above and beyond with going out to dinner with me a couple of times. The accommodations were very clean with nothing to complain about. Plenty of nice, hot water in the shower. Great socializing with the staff and other guests. We even had a BBQ on my last night's stay. They even accommodated me for breakfast as I'm a picky eater. I did one baited shark dive and four other dives. Felt safe and in good hands on each dive. Visibility was pretty poor compared to what I'm used to and surge and current was quite strong- not especially great for underwater photography. Vagard was very helpful in assisting me identify the fish in my photos. Overall, very personal, cozy atmosphere.

As stated, this is my second review of this resort (but I have by no means only been there twice)

I cannot emphasise enough just how fantastic Aghulas house is! Once you have been here, all other diving resorts will seem like a motel-like place.

I have gotten to knwo all the staff members on a personal basis, and applaud each and every one of their effort in making the stay as enjoyable as possible!
Brett and Vagard are very knowledgable and attentive dive masters, and will always do their utmost best to help you try view whatever sealife you wish to view (obviously this is out of their control in the fact that they can't control nature... though it wouldn't surprise me if they had secret telepathic abilities that are one with Neptune :-P )

Mickey runs the place like a well oiled machine, and is always happy to help you wether it be a special request for a special occasion, or if you'd like your egg slightly more scrambled!

I have yet to find a single aspect of the resort that is lacking in service or that would see me diving elsewhere.

Now if only they could befriend a whale shark that we could go dive with on every dive! :-)

Room tip: I personally prefer the rooms facing the pool as opposed to the rooms upstairs in the main house

This was one of my highlights of my trip... too be able to dive with sharks! A once in a lifetime experience. They have a awesome team at Agulhas. Jody and Lauren are friendly, helpful and go beyond the call of duty:) I hadn't dived in a while and arrived without my diving card. But this was soon sorted out, they found my card online and made a print out. 3 days well spent:)
