I’m living on the same property as the guesthouse and dive centre. I’m available most of the time for my guests’ needs. This is the guesthouse of the rising sun. You can lie on your bed while watching the sun rising over False Bay. The Ollava Snorkelling and Scuba Centre is on the same premises and offers courses and trips.

Glencairn beach is within walking distance with a tidal pool and lovely sand beach. There are often fishermen catching fish from the rocks in front of the guesthouse.
