A romantic two night stay

A romantic two night stay at the start of our Garden Route drive from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. The view was amazing, the property, host, sunsets and breakfasts were fabulous and we slept very well in the large bed. We also watched dolphins pass by which made the trip even more special.
