    Chalets in a nature like environment with a nice beach view from the bar. Waterfront can be reached in a couple of minutes by car. Chalets are ok but the superior one looks bigger on the pictures than it is. Was however no problem.

    The chalets are situated between the natural vegetation which gives you the feeling of being somewhere in the bushveld but you are on the beachfront. Friendly staff members
