    Nothing I can think of.

    Great and spacious house. Very clean and neat with all the facilities you can think of. Elmari was a wonderful host and Lee was very friendly and made sure everything you needed was there. Nice and cosy swimming pool. Close to the beach and restaurants.

    We didn´t know well how to use the kitchen (there was food in the fridge - for whom?; where is the trash bin etc.). One of the rooms was a bit cold.

    Very warm welcome, very comfortable place, well-located. Wonderful place, spotless.

    I would have preferred being able to see the ocean but that was not a deal breaker

    It was meticulously clean and the beds were the beds beds away from home, super comfortable and cosy!

    Stunning location with breathtaking views —perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, and the house is beautifully appointed with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. Ideal for the discerning traveler or a couple looking to truly get away. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend staying here to others.

    Really liked staying here. Combines the best bits of hotel and Airbnb. You get your own bedroom and bathroom, which are hotel quality, and you can also use the communal kitchen, lounge and pool, which are also very nice and comfortable. Elmari is also very nice and welcoming, and so is the housekeeper. This is honestly one of my favourite places I’ve stayed in SA.

    It seemed like a large comfortable home rather than a guesthouse. We felt very comfortable and relaxed and enjoyed the courtyard pool. We had use of all the facilities in the house which was amazing. It was near the beach and we could walk to restaurants. Xxx

    Nothing, it was perfect! This sets a high bar for our next accommodations in South Africa!

    The apartment was amazing. The whole house is super luxurious, not only the rooms but the common areas have everything you could think of, with a lot of attention to detail. We particularly liked the cinema room next to our room, it was increíble! Everything was super clean and comfortable. The host was amazing too, gave us recommendations and made us feel welcome.

    This is a lovely place where guests have a free run of a considerable space. We had a lovely sitting room next to our room, with a huge TV and comfortable sofas. It was very windy when we came. So, unfortunately we were unable to use the small pool area but it was very lovely to look at by day and at night when it is lit up. Our host was exceptional and very helpful. There was no load shedding which was nice too.
