The breakfast was awesome. So many different types to choose from!, The rooms are also well equipped, with love in the detail and all I need. If there was anything that doesn't work, it will be fixed in minutes. Nelly is Great. She loves her job, and you can see that!

Jan Germany

We loved our stay here and found Ursula and her staff to be so welcoming and helpful. They seemed to anticipate what we needed for a relaxing break and made sure we were well looked after. Breakfasts were good. Rooms were very clean and comfy. Doors open onto a stoep to chill on and we were kept stocked with plenty of ice for our wine. Overall very good value.

Helen South Africa

Loved the location, the property itself. Very helpful staff. Our daughter got sick and they got a great Dr for us. They assist in advising on which activities to do etc. Enjoyed the breakfast especially flap jacks and banana bread. The property is clean and I loved that.

Dimpho South Africa

Nigel South Africa

everything was just a-ma-zing Nelly was such a thoughtful manager that looked at the smallest personal details. Did a real good job at helping me with plan's and the cleaning staff were amazing as well. even the car got washed very good.

Mylo Netherlands

The staff was friendly. The room and the yard were clean.

Mokgathi South Africa

Spent 4 nights in this comfortable and well priced B&B. Rooms are large and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful and the Breakfast was excellent. There is a nice small pool available. A Solar electricity system was installed during our stay which seamlessly trips in at times of the all too frequent “Load Shedding”- this is a major improvement and much better than relying on a noisy generator. If you like nature there is loads to do in the St Lucia area.
