We didn't actually stay at Shells Corner Cottage because the host had unexpectedly to go away the day of the arrival. She arranged another lodging for us at her own expense. Very professional and means very well. I highly recommend her accommodation.

Great location only a short walk down to the lagoon. Short drive to the harbour where there's ample food options. The place itself was immaculate with so much attention to detail. Very comfortable stay. Would've liked to have stayed longer and wouldnt hesitate to book again.

The house was well stocked with all you would need for a short or long visit. The style and decor was fun and tastefully done. Loved the spacious bathrooms and walk in showers. Security was top notch and simple enough to manage. BBQ area was super. Hope to visit again in summer when we can take advantage of the massive terrace.

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    Lovely cottage for a couple. Unbelievably well equipped with loads of storage space. Modern bathroom and cozy lounge area with TV. The small outside garden is lovely, lots of trees and birdsong. Quality cast aluminium table and chairs and two big gas plates embedded in a stainless steel table for cooking. There also is a portable braai.Lovely hosts
