    Easy process of checking my self in. Thorough instructions from the manager. The place was exceptional, beautiful modern set-up, the house hat literally everything you will need-EVERYTHING. Beautiful rooms comfortable beds. There was tv at the sitting room and also in the main bedroom. Main bedroom. The views out of this world

    The only recommendation is to have a microwave in the kitchen as we had braaied one evening and would have simply liked to heat leftovers the next morning. Other than that, everything was good.

    This place exceeded my expectations! The aesthetics were on point! Everything about this place was modern and stylish. The sofa and beds were very comfortable, and the views on either side of both balconies were stunning! It was so satisfying to just sit and watch the boats out the window. There is a little bar and ice maker for those who enjoy a drink. The attention to detail speaks for itself, and the owners made sure to make guests feel welcomed and at home. There were condiments and a nice packet of biscuits, which was really thoughtful. The shower was great with shower gel provided, which some places do not. There's also a tv in the main bedroom for those who like to watch a movie in bed. All restaurants are close by, literally walking distance as we went out for dinner one night. Our stay was an absolute pleasure! Would highly recommend this beautiful place!

    Could use air conditioning but we were out during the day and the nights were cooler so was not a problem.

    This place is absolutely amazing. Pictures don't do it justice. Hands down best place I've ever stayed at. Pure luxury. Hosts were so attentive and kind. Everything you would ever want in luxury accommodation! Loved it!

    The property on the waterfront was exactly like the pictures on the website and the inverter was essential as there are so many power cuts in South Africa on a daily basis. Heather, the host, was so helpful and easily contactable. The property was 100yds from 3 very good restaurants and 15mns walk to Thesen Island. We both loved it

    Heather gave us all the info and more before our arrival. Check in was seamless. The apartment is beautiful, well equipped, right on the quay with beautiful views from both bedrooms. It has an invertor so we did not feel the impact of load shedding. Beautiful patio overlooking the quay. Close to shops and restaurants and walking distance from Feather bed boats.
