Place is lovely, very safe to take short walk to beautiful beach, & if it's shopping malls & restaurants you fancy, there's a giant one nearby. First time I haven't seen/felt uber security issue in South Africa. Property owners Lynn & Fred are fun, delightful, generous & helpful.

Such an absolutely fantastic stay. The hosts went all out to make our comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. As we had to check out early, they provided us with food for the road. I will definitely recommend this place and if I ever find myself in the area again, will use their services.
