The guest house was in a beautiful area, the rooms were nice and cozy as well

Yoli South Africa

Breakfast was great, fresh and generous. Room was spacious, well-equipped and had everything needed, including a little kitchenette and table if I were to dine in. Outside pool area was a lovely addition and a great spot for an afternoon wind down. Sylvie and Zack were very forthcoming in helping with questions and printing and did a very thorough intro to the property and facilities. They gave an option of two rooms, sharing benefits of each to allow a considered choice.

Emma South Africa

The bedding was really comfortable and the place was very clean and the people who run the place were very nice to deal with.

Renee South Africa

The BNB has great access to the beach. It serves very good breakfasts. :) It has nice courtyard areas in which to kick back. Service from the BNB staff was outstanding!

Mike United States of America

My room was neat and clean with a kitchenette. I enjoyed breakfast. The coffee was particularly good!

Janet South Africa

Breakfast could have been a bit more comprehensive such as no yoghurt or meisies available, no cold meats or cheeses, The coffee was fantastic though ! The fried eggs and bacon sausage etc was excellent .

Rodney South Africa

The view from the room was perfect. The staff was professional, friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was scrumptious. Adherence to Covid-19 protocols were well maintained.

Adele South Africa

Everything was awesome Sylvi is a rockstar and such a delight. She made our stay so lovely and took amazing care of our kids x

Nigel South Africa
