    really enjoyed our stay at the beach villa. Thandi made us feel more than welcome. The breakfast was great and the location superb nothing is relaxing as waking up to the sound of the sea and the fresh breeze. The owner is so hands on even though it is remotely we felt his presence. I really recommend it :-)

    Now I've been at quite a few places, where the treatment at most of the places were excellent and at some not so decent. This host though, is amazing. He has a warm heart. He connects with his guests as if he knows them long before the stay. The staff were just as warm hearted! The room, facilities and view were breath taking! Thanks again for a wonderful stay, to many more to come!

    The toilet handle needs fixing and the outside door skimming so it can close properly. Not a complaint but needs fixing.

    Great location on the beach . Friendly welcome. Comfortable bed and pillows and clean room. Good secure parking on site too.

    Chairs in the restaurant very uncomfortable and low...cushions would have been nice.

    Breakfast was fine. The security gate off our room onto the veranda was impossible to lock/unlock. There was a rather unkempt woman hanging around (the owner?) smoking rather lowering the tone of the establishment.

    Has potential but need to address the issues raised.

    Parking was big issue. Very cramped - should direct people exactly how to park on arrival to prevent problems later on. Bathroom had a window which could be opened but the room only had 2 small windows (fixed, cannot be opened) and an aluminium sliding door onto the patio. For security reasons one cannot sleep with the sliding door open resulting in the room being hot and stuffy even this time of the year - in December to February it will be terrible. Modify the 2 windows so that they can open or install a trellidor inside of the sliding door to allow air circulation in the bedroom. Although a fridge was provided it was empty - at the price of this accommodation they could at least provide 2 bottles of mineral water. A tea/coffee station was provided in our room but only 2 black tea bags supplied.

    Did not have breakfast Room very spacious Nice shower Bed comfortable

    We were only there for a night away so didn't need much more than what was provided.

    Loved being so close to the sea and hearing the waves wash up on the shore in the quiet night

    A few pointers: the view so wonderful, but the bedroom that i stayed in is configured badly - the bed faces a wall - you could be anywhere - the bed should face the magnificent sea. The room felt a bit musty, stale smelling and didnt feel fresh. There were no channels to watch on TV - only a very select few. There should be Netflix and other on demand channels, also there should be access to snacks (chips, chocolates) and drinks to purchase on premise. Also the outside furniture is not the comfiest - hard to relax on our balcony for long periods.

    The location was absolutely amazing! best location I have ever stayed at and I will travel quite extensively. Thandi was fantastic and the breakfast was lovely.

    The pictures definitely need to be updated! Doesn’t really reflect the current state, for example the enclosed pool etc. We were without lights, extractor fan and room fan for the entire stay, it kept tripping.

    We loved the location and views. Beside this, what stood out most were the staff, which is one of the Villas greatest assets, from start to finish. Well done Thandi and team!

    Did not like the shower. Don't think the room we got is adequately represented on the website. Empty frames above the bed. Stairs to the kitchen and bathroom. No one informed us of any wifi password.

    Braai facilities, view, closeness to the beach and breakfast.

    It was our anniversary...so we thought that there would have been a bubbly waiting for us in the room and like a written notice somewhere in the room that say " happy anniversary" but thank you for the beautiful rose paddles on the bed💕👍

    We liked the breakfast and the view was perfect. And we liked the walks on the beach and the shops was in walking distance. And the bed was very comfortable. We also liked the pool although it was a rainy weather.
