Description
K9 is a unique cottage constructed with sandbags as an alternative to the conventional cement blocks. This fully equipped and open-plan cottage is situated in Hondeklip Bay, a remote village on the Namaqualand coast.
The funky interior layout provides an optimal sea view while the outside area is sheltered from the prevailing south-easterly wind. An easy paced stroll westwards will take you to the mouth of the bay, from where you can explore the prolific shoreline for hours on end. K9 Cottage can accommodate two guests sharing a double bed.
The cottage includes all standard amenities with an additional dishwasher and an automatic washing machine. The sheltered location of the cottage makes it the ideal retreat for relaxing. Adjacent to the K9 Cottage is the K9 Pottery Studio, which is fully equipped and available for use by private arrangement with the owner.

K9 Cottage in Hondeklipbaai Reviewed by Karlien Trumpelmann, South Africa on . Namaqualand at the CoastHondeklip Bay is ±180km from springbok if you take the route via komaggas (where the tar road stops and the dirt road begin) and koiingnaas. The first indication that you are on the right track is a signboard at a T-junction 20km from Hondeklip Bay.
Hondeklip Bay took me by surprise, it is a small mainly coloured communitee with only one or two restaurants, bottle store and general dealer…for fuel and everything else the nearest town is Garies (88km dirt road away), so come prepared.
I was taken by the peacefulness of the place, the beautiful white beaches and coastline, with two ship wrecks and a seal colony.
Don’t be put off by the old buildings that don’t resemble much and probably last saw paint the day they were build, this place has a lot of heart and charm and the people are friendly.
K9 Cottage allowed me a wonderful relaxing stay, this cottage has all you might need for a stay in the middle of nowhere, a washing machine and even a dishwasher. It is not on the beach front, but you can see the sea from this cottage and hear the waves at night and the light from the lighthouse, the beach is an easy stroll away.
I spent my days just relaxing at the cottage reading, walking everywhere and taking photos, exploring the coastline and mingling with the locals.
Hondeklip Bay is a special place…Namaqualand at the coast, it will definitely see me again.
