The 5-star homestay has mountain views and is 19 km from George Golf Club. It is possible for guests to sit outside and enjoy the property grounds.

We booked both rooms for two couples and and absolutely loved our stay and can only recommend it. The rooms are very thoughtfully equipped and decorated, beds very comfy, and the terrace offers great seating options to enjoy the view. The host Maria is living upstairs and an absolute gem. She prepared a homemade breakfast every day, gave us recommendations for adventures and restaurants, was always reachable but also gave us space and privacy to enjoy our stay.

    Maria was such a great host! The room was well equipped, clean and nicely located a little up the hill. Even there was no breakfast option, Maria served home made jam, cheese and bread which was delicious. It’s a 10min walk to the beach and restaurants are close by. We stayed 2 nights, but would have loved to stay much longer :) It‘s also a good location to do the lovely Kingfisher Trail by canoe / hike (5min by car).

    A lovely hostel, the best views on the beach from the bigger dorm (enjoy the sunrise from your bed!), very friendly and helpful staff and great facilities.
