United States of AmericaAmazing view Very clean Very Comfortable Has everything one needs
United KingdomEverything, The location is fantastic, it is right before town making it easy to walk to the restaurent and like a 2 minute drive to the beach. It is close distance by car to a lot of activities. The place in itself is just wonderful, beautiful view at sunrise. Super comfortable bed and giant bathroom. I knew from the reviewed it be nice. But i didnt excepted that it would be that nice. The value for the money is incomparable. The 4 ladies of the staff are the loveliest person, they made our stay incredible. They even pick up a few cloths we had dirty and washed it free of charge without us having asking.
CanadaThis was a very nice property. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is quite close to the beach; however, no necessarily walkable due to hills. The breakfast was very good. I especially enjoyed the patio and the view.
United States of AmericaBeautiful communal spaces and very well equipped with everything you could need (tea & coffee, robes, braai, gin glasses, ice, etc.) Staff were very friendly and helpful, and breakfast was delicious :)
United KingdomWhat a view! The host(s) were so welcoming and made us feel right at home upon arrival. You have to try the South African sherry.

The central location makes it walking distance to shops and amenities but the spectacular views of the mountains, river, lagoon, ocean and beaches are what makes this the ideal place to relax and unwind, with a pool to cool off and a large patio for outside living with our amazing South African climate.
I have just taken over from Judy, that has managed the property for 11 years and with my extensive experience with self catering accommodation, it is going really well and I'm loving what I do and I believe it shows in every little touch I put on the guesthouse as a piece of me, which makes me very proud and happy to be here. Hopefully rubbing off on guest's experience.
The guesthouse is situated on the outskirts of town and in a quiet tranquil corner, with little traffic. We have not encountered much criminal activity and we are down the road from the police station, with regular patrols going past.
