One of our rooms were amazing. Very bright with an amazing view of the sea. The other was dark, had an old wasps nest on the balcony which had just been left there. It over looked the road and was a little bit smelly.

This was simply South African hospitality at its very best. From start to finish friendly and helpful staff, clean comfortable room and delicious food (I ate from the a la carte menu and it was obvious that everything was cooked from scratch with high quality ingredients). Thank you
