    The best self catering apartments in town.

    The wifi. unit 85's wifi doesn't show up on the available connections it's just the surrounding apartments. The instructions for connection says if the TV is connected to YouTube then the problem is your device(and if the problem is yours then they will call the guys who fix it at your own expense) which is kind of a scare really for the tenant. We checked the TV wifi and it was for apartment 97, meaning we never could have connect apartment 85's wifi because it's not there. So we ended up finding a way to find the password on the TV and connected to apartment 97's wifi...

    The view was amazing , the place was clean, very convenient for a family. A perfect home way from home. The place is so quiet and relaxing. The privacy, self-catering, no one comes to disturb you wanting to clean the place while you are still there. Just a walk from the beach. We enjoyed the swimming pool. Everything is exceptional.

    Beds for most rooms were uncomfortable. The unit accommodates 6people but the dining table is only for 4. Not enough utensils to set the table, shower door was not closing properly.

    Great location, close sea views, beautiful and quiet complex. It felt safe, walking distance to the beach. BBQ braai on the unit.

    The unit was not as clean as expected. First thing we did when we arrived for a late check in, was make tea, but the cups were very dusty, had to wash them again. Lounge area was also dusty. No lighter was available for the gas braai. We loved spending time at the pool, but seating was not the best, maybe some comfortable pool loungers could replace the uncomfortable hard benches.

    Awesome sea views and best sunrises. Easily accessible to the beach. Shower was amazing. Appreciated our lovely host sending us messages everyday.

    The bathroom was a bit stuffy because there is no window for fresh air. The basin was too small and there was no table for a cosmetic bag.

    It was close to the beach, the place was neat, cozy and comfortable. Beautiful view, and the host was amazing.

    Would have liked an extra tv in one of the bedrooms. And a little more attention to extra cleaning, curtains were a bit dirty.

    The location is amazing! So close to the beach and lovely restaurants are so close by.

    Across the road from the beach, lovely swimming beach for small children, great views! Also we didn’t experience any load shedding :-)

    Walls need a few licks of paint in some spots to cover up dirt/ marks. Sofa in lounge needs replacing. These are small details that didn't take away from our stay but that will help to add to the overall premium feel of the place.

    The views, the unit was nicely decorated, it was easy to pick up and drop off keys, Lauren our host kept in touch throughout to ensure we were okay! Felt like a home away from home, the kids and adults loved it.

    The power trips when using the fan in the living room, and the fan in the main bedroom made quite the noise. However, the small air-con in the kitchen worked well to cool the room.

    Lovely location. Beautifully furnished and very comfortable rooms.

    Just a suggestion, instead of a small bar of soap in the bathroom, rather have a soap dispenser.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The Apartment is neat and has everything you require with a nice ocean view. The location is great, a short walk down the road to the beach and a short walk up the road to the Restaurants. Communication from the host was good, easy and convenient key collection and drop off.

    As it was extremely hot when we were there. A fan /aircon in the lounge would've been great and also an aircon in the 2nd bedroom. Even with the front and balcony doors open at night it was very hot in the lounge.

    Amazing views - Great Location
