I wish I could give this property an 11/10. We stayed one night, and from the moment we pulled in to the moment we left we were made to feel welcome and cared for bh the attentive mother daughter duo that run the guesthouse. They talked to us like old friends and made us feel right at home. The property (common spaces and room) was clean, secure, and well maintained. Our kids loved the garden/lawn area and the treehouse. Breakfast was a beautiful hand made spread. We only wish we could have stayed longer!!

The room exceeded our expectations, it was really perfect in every details. Bed was super comfortable, they have netflix service, a generator which made our stay super comfortable even during load shedding and last but not least, an amazing shower. Moreover there is a coffee place/restaurant in the same building so everything was super functional. Super recommended.

    The holiday home is located in a gated community with security night and day. It was a few minutes drive to supermarkets. There is a wrap around balcony with a braai area and outdoor dining space and beautiful views across the water. The family loved the location, and they could take walks to the shops. All the rooms have en-suite bathrooms plus there is a guest toilet. The kitchen is fabulous and the cooks enjoyed spending time creating meals. It had a washer and dryer as well that was helpful.
