A gem of a place! Beautifully situated and the room was pristine with charming touches and lovely amenities! The breakfast was surprisingly scrumptious and the service excellent!
It was surprising as we didn’t expect stairs but we managed ok.
We were not seaview because we were in a cottage and not the lodge. Also surprising.
Nice and clean and serviced daily. Friendly staff
They wanted a large breakage deposit. Also surprising
Beautiful accomodation on the beach. It was very cold though and no blankets provided. Also except noise as people come and go from rooms overhead as the floorboards creak and sound travels.
Could have used thicker towels the minimalism wasnt always practical.
Amazing guest house directly at the ocean, amazing views, Thandi did an amazing job and went the extra mile when we wanted to do crayfish. The breakfast was sensational. The house is magical and the setting amazing :-)
Very great location in front of the beach... nice salted swimmingpool, breakfast is ok ...
Room 1/2 or 3 are the one downstairs in front of ocean. Great nice room , clean . Only issue very bad sound insulation !
Good value for money and pleasant team!
