    Our accommodation was very comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed, from the electric blankets, Nespresso coffee & comfy pillows to the well laid out room & braai facilities. I had a great stay with my two young sons.

    There's nothing to truly dislike. My only suggestion would be to add a few more hand towels in the winter months, as they don't dry too easily. We really loved our stay here and would definitely do a return stay.

    Our cottage was not only beautiful but was well kitted. It had everything we needed. The private garden was such a great bonus space. Despite a chilly weekend, we got to sit outdoors a bit, too. I'm sure it's fabulous in the warmer summer months.

    Everything was absolutely perfect. Easy to find and just down the road from the new harbor. We stayed there for a triathlon event that started at the new harbor, so it was a short walk to the start. Very quiet and private. We especially enjoyed the little green grass area we had at our unit.

    Accomodation is beautifully appointed with modern finishings. Each cottage has its own private garden with braai facilities and was well equipped to make our stay comfortable, we had all we needed. The coffee, milk and cookies was a nice touch. The pool area had a beautiful open grass patch which my daughter loved. We were a 5min walk away from the new harbour where we spotted some dolphins playing in the ocean and were able to go on the walking trails overlooking the ocean. The pictures are exactly the way the accommodation looks, what you see is exactly what you get. We will definitely be visiting again. 10/10

    We were 3 adults; the double bed was fine but the single beds needs to have changed madress´s as we 'tilted' towards the floor the whole night.

    Lovely place in walking distance to town, there is at walking trail nearby. Nice furniture and a nice little pool.

    A large side window with a blind which we had to keep down all the time could be made more private by frosted glass.

    Very secure clean Les was very helpful with information about the area ..The pool looked lovely unfortunately did not get a chance to use it due to weather.

    It would of been ideal to have an ironing board and a Braai Bak for when we use the Weber. But that's also the only things I have to complain about. The stay was super peaceful and comfortable. May your business grow from strength to strength 💪🙏🌸

    The place was tastefully decorated with lots of natural light in the morning 👌Bed was super comfy. The little touches of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and salt & Pepper grinders were appreciated. Also the delicious complementary biscuits were nice. Definitely coming back 💛

    An aircon might be a nice addition, and perhaps some mosquito spray/net if people need to rely on keeping the windows open for a sea breeze.

    One of the best showers I've had in my life 😂 It was also very neat and clean, which is always a win in my book. It's also a nice distance away from town for an early morning walk to grab some coffee and come home before starting the day.
