Our best accommodation in South Africa. The view in the common room, on the terrace (we even saw dolphins) and in the room (Elephant room) is incredible and stunning. The heads view point is very close. The service was outstanding. Deborah, Crystal and the whole team were so friendly, made great trip suggestions and even made the reservation for us. We will definitely recommend the guest house.

The cottage, nestled in a serene location, captivated us with its charm. The tranquil surroundings, thoughtfully designed interior, gracious hosts Hannes and Daniel, along with their eight delightful dogs, collectively crafted an unforgettable experience. If you seek a retreat to disconnect and savor each moment, this hidden gem offers an ideal escape. The carefully curated interior design enhanced our Christmas stay, making it truly exceptional. Our sincere gratitude to Hannes and Daniel for creating a space that resonates with mindful living.

The place was exquisite and we loved everything that was offered. Electric blankets for cold nights, extra blankets to use while watching TV, fire wood and lighters, the jacuzzi, and the fact that we were right next to the beach and were offered beach towels 😀. This was heaven and earth combined ❤️ everyone loved and enjoyed their stay and felt at home 😊.

Location on a beautiful, quiet island. The property provided everything we needed - the rooms were decorated beautifully and super clean. Such a lovely warm welcome from Chris. Cher so friendly and helpful with any suggestions of activities and quick to answer any questions we had. And Audrey who was so attentive in the restaurant. The food was sublime - fabulous choice and expertly cooked. Fantastic flavours - I did ask if I could take chef home with me. The cooler weather meant we couldn’t take full advantage of the pool during our stay but we would definitely return here if we had the chance.
