    Unfortunately the guests next to us - where incredibly inconsiderate, however this is not the fault of the hotel, maybe some sound deadening would go a long way

    Lovely little hotel, The staff are exceptionally nice, and the room is good, breakfast was a really nice touch, bed was a touch soft for my liking but I am big, my wife enjoyed it.

    The games room needs an upgrade. They definitely need new towels. And the staff need to be rewarded for their hard work and friendly manners

    Although the facilities are dated, the friendly staff made the environment homely.

    Bathroom toiletries provided needs improvement..shower gel, shampoo and liquid soap provided does not smell pleasant..try a better fragrance please

    Breakfast was modest but of good quality. I suggest more breakfast meal variants /options to be available as location is also tourist driven. Catering for halaal and kosher meal options should be considered.

    There’s no fridge in the room and darkness due to load shedding, at some point they must invest in backup power.

    The towels we received on both days were not in the best condition. The breakfast had good options. However, the options are the same every day. So if you're staying longer than two days you're going to get pretty bored with having the same things. The options of having some muffins or having alternative options may be a good idea. The games room is a great feature, however, it does need maintenance.

    The staff was very attentive and made themselves available. There was sufficient parking in front of the accommodation Our room overlooked the pool and had a mountain view. Both rooms had balconies with patio chairs. They were big for two people to sit comfortably and enjoy a glass of wine. The beds were comfortable and there was enough space to store clothing and personal goods Breakfast had options: Cereal, yoghurts, fruit salad, hot breakfast (limited), bread for toast and jams The fireplace was welcome during the chilly August evening. Wifi worked really well. We were provided pool towels.

    Everything was good but it would have been nice to buy a hot chocolate, coffee or beverage but the kitchen was closed. This would complete my experience sitting in front of the fire place to absolutely amazing

    Very cosy hotel & my nine year old loved the games room. Nice to spe d family time together The fresh clean smell lingering through out the hotel was nice.

    The floors were a bit slippery and noisy when walking on. The rooms could be a little more sound proof . The triple rooms didn't have a fridge.

    14 of us booked out the entire upstairs section. We had such a good time together. The breakfast was really great beautiful views walking distance from the beach. Incredible host and staff. Great value for money

    The floors in the rooms are wooden and creak when you walk. And you can hear when the guest next door are walking in their room too. Limited Channels available on the TV. And breakfast options limited.

    The location is away from the hustle of the town. Price per night isn't bad. Had a brilliant view from our room of the sea. And 2min walk to the beach. The manager was friendly and very helpful.
