    The cottage is very cutely decorated, with lots of eye for small details. The bed was comfy and all necessary amenities were provided. The outdoor shower and Victorian bath added to the charm. It's only a 5 minute walk to the beach, 10 minutes to the penguin colony.

    my car was parked near my unit with a light shining on it however it was basically on the street, no fence or carport.

    It was self catering. Location was excellent Very clean, hosts allowed me to book out later as I was hiking. Very cute and comfy. Milk in fridge and a few condiments too.Firewood too.

    Very neat with a lovely rustic feel. Well set up. Shower is outside which will be great in summer. Not so much in winter when it's raining :-) . But relax in a hot bath inside. We would happily stay again.

    Beautiful Area. The concern of the owner was amazing as I forgot to lock my vehicle one night he noticed the passenger door open the next morning. Text and called me the morning requested I please investigate if anything was missing so he can report it to the police. I could assure him nothing missing the wind was quite strong the previous night and I obviously didn't properly close the door.Great concern and appreciated a big Thank you.

    Nothing comes to mind at this time. We were only there for one night and we didn't get to enjoy the surroundings as we had a birthday party to attend.

    Everything that you need is in this cosy location - small kitchen, comfortable bed, beautiful bath and a sheltered breakfast nook outside. Loadshedding has been taken into consideration with a gas stove provided for cooking and portable solar lights on the side tables. We loved the small touches to cater to our comfort with plenty of face cloths provided and amenities such as soap and moisturiser. Kitchen was really clean with pristine cleaning sponges and cloths provided. We will certainly be back!
