    Amazing views over the bay, and location is good to get to restaurants. You could walk but we didn't during evenings. It feels like you are moving to someone's home not a hotel environment. There was a lot of freedom of when you go and coming...

    The place looks heavenly, just like the pictures. The host Vanessa is very kind and so are all the other staff members. It's located centrally so you are close to everything you need. The amenities are all operational and in great condition.

    What a view from the terrace - stunning. Our room was small but comfortable with a small ensuite bathroom with a good shower. We enjoyed coffee and tea making facilities, and we used the beach towels and beach chairs that were provided. The...

    You have a wonderful view over the bay and a great outdoor terrace with a barbecue, fridge and much more. We had what we thought was the most beautiful room: the ‘Shell Room’. We also had a direct view of the bay, but the room with its sliding...

    This was one of our favourite lodgings during our 3 week SA tour. We had a smaller room, but it was great (other rooms were much more spacious). Staff was absolutely lovely and very helpful (both the live-in host and the housekeeping team). The...

Company information

I have just taken over from Judy, that has managed the property for 11 years and with my extensive experience with self catering accommodation, it is going really well and I'm loving what I do and I believe it shows in every little touch I put on the guesthouse as a piece of me, which makes me very proud and happy to be here. Hopefully rubbing off on guest's experience.

Property information

The central location makes it walking distance to shops and amenities but the spectacular views of the mountains, river, lagoon, ocean and beaches are what makes this the ideal place to relax and unwind, with a pool to cool off and a large patio for outside living with our amazing South African climate. No LOADSHEDDING!!!!

Neighbourhood information

The guesthouse is situated on the outskirts of town and in a quiet tranquil corner, with little traffic. We have not encountered much criminal activity and we are down the road from the police station, with regular patrols going past.
