    Nothing. Everything was perfect!

    The room was absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and the breakfast was super yummy! The guesthouse has a lovely ocean view from the front garden. Although we did not have a sea view room, we could hear the ocean in our room, which was lovely. All the staff working at the guesthouse was super friendly - especially Wendy! She showed genuine interest and helped by providing valuable recommendations to us as first-time Plett visitors ;)

    Room 1. Unfortunately room 1 is located right next to the kitchen and walkway. Therefore, you are unable to sleep in a bit as it's very noisy when breakfast is being prepared from the early hours of the morning. I'm sure the other rooms are great though.

    Location and view is amazing!

    The best holiday resort! We loved this small scale, luxurious B&B. The facilities are superb, from location on the beach, swimming pool to the room and the fresh cooked breakfast, but it is the staff that make the place! Thank you once more Wendy for all the tips to discover Plett!

    Room was a bit small especially for luggage. Although we love animals, we didnt enjoy them around our table whilst eating and the dogs also went for my husband when he went to get something from his car later in the evening. I think they should just take care about that. DSTV did not have sport channels

    Breakfast was very nice and versatile. Lovely location with boardwalk down to the pristine beach. Friendly staff

    The room does not have a private outdoor area and can get a bit small if you are planning on not just sleeping in the room, but great for an over night accommodation.

    I booked for my family members and this was their feedback: Lovely small room beautifully decorated, perfect for an over night stay. Great location close to the beach, even though the room does not have a view of the sea. Great friendly host.

    Very friendly and accommodating staff! Breakfast was very good, and also we got it bit earlier due to early plans, which was extremely nice :) The common areas were inviting: ocean view, swimming pool, beautiful garden and breakfast area. There is a path to the beach straight from the property. We also got a very good recommendation for a restaurant for dinner.
