Everything was perfect.

The location was incredible! We booked the sea facing guest room, it was super spacious, modern, and had everything we needed and more. The hot tub was a bonus and breakfast was amazing. A big shoutout to the staff, especially Faith, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

It is such a beautiful and aesthetically beautiful place, you forget that you are on the main road in Kalk bay. Our room was beautiful and cosy, we LOVED the bathroom too.

A cupboard or rail to hang clothes and/or a bench for suitcases would have been nice. A full length mirror in the bedroom would be great.

Excellent location within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Nicely decorated bedroom. The breakfast was really good. Friendly and helpful staff.

The jacuzzi wasn’t warm enough. The water wasn’t coming out fast enough from the shower . When showering the basin would start smelling like drain

Faith the receptionist was very helpful during my stay . Thank you so much for hosting me. The room was perfect .

Beautifully designed boutique hotel on the edge of the water. The staff were so friendly and helpful (special shout out to Faith who went out of her way to make sure we were happy)! It’s a 3 minute walk into town where you can find restaurants and shops. We had a delicious breakfast on the terrace watching the sunrise. We will be back!

It would be great to have a fan and air conditioning. I imagine in summer it is quite warm

If you’re staying downstairs on the cottage rooms, your sea facing room looks into a shared lounge / dining space , so to ensure privacy you have to draw the curtains which kills the view and changes the vibe a bit , but not a big issue - just can’t have both in that particular room.

Beautifully decorated , amazing staff and great location .
