I loved that the bathroom had a bath as well as a shower. The flat is comfortable with Wi-fi and DSTV. I asked for a mop, and it was supplied. The location was perfect for what we needed. If we visit Cintsa again, we will probably rebook the same location.

My wife and I both have careers in the Arts and Craft industry. Or passion is fine art and craft.
This location is a seaside resort which is still relatively unspoiled situated on the beginning of the Wild Coast. The river which enter the sea has a pair of fish eagles which live on the banks. The venue offers a world class golf course, fishing, surfing and hiking along long stretches of beach. There are many restaurants in the area which offers a full variety of cuisines. Five minutes away is a game reserve where one can enjoy game drives and interacting with elephants.
