“The property is right next to the sea and it feels as though the room hangs over the waves. There is a pub and restaurant on the property, which adds to the vibe. Fresh fish really good.”

The Laughing Mermaid
At The Laughing Mermaid BnB in Coffee Bay, we offer delightful accommodation that provides both comfort and style. Each room is uniquely decorated, ensuring a memorable stay for all our guests, with stunning views of White Clay, Coffee Bay.
Dave and Jeanne look forward to welcoming you to The Laughing Mermaid
​Perched on the rugged cliffs of Coffee Bay, our B&B is more than a place to sleep—it’s a front-row seat to the edge of the world. Wake up to the sound of the Indian Ocean and join us on the deck for your morning coffee; if the daily dolphin pod doesn’t cruise by to say hello, the whales usually will.
