    Spacious rooms. Everything you need in the room. Only 5 unites, so not noisy. Parking inside the property. Awesome breakfast. Lovely hosts. Everyone is so friendly and helpful just cannot say enough nice things about this place.

    Coffee is not the best Lighting in the room could be a bit more cosy The luxury room could do with a sofa for lounging indoors when the weather isn't great.

    Very tasteful design Great comfortable extra-length bed and quality sheets. Friendly service and great hospitality Breakfast was excellent

    There was nothing that we did not like.

    We loved this beautiful place. Everything is new, convenient and comfortable. Ron gave us a complimentary room upgrade and we had a sea view from our guest room. The hotel is full of novel & bright ideas and the house labelled wine was excellent for quaffing. Ron and Philip are very kind, open and forthcoming with help and information. Breakfast was exceptional and there was safe parking for the car onsite behind remotely controlled gates. The Bamboo Beach restaurant was not far and served very tasty food at a reasonable price. We loved walking the coastal path just out the hotel's grounds. We will definitely come again for a stay in this little gem.

    The shower design is poor and leaked but floor mats were replaced each time with no issue. On arrival, I was concerned that there was no atmosphere but from the first engagement with Ron, Brandon and other staff members, that quickly changed.

    The staff (and Ron) made our stay. Friendly, helpful, engaging. Our room was clean, comfy and spacious. Staff (all of them) could not have done more for us. Super service orientated.

    This place is absolutely fantastic, brand new and everything in it so well planned. All rooms have a sea view and are immaculate. The breakfast is very good with fresh cooked options available. Pool area is great and the hosts Ron and Phillip cannot do enough for you. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back.

    Our last stop after 3 weeks travelling SA. We loved our stay which was made even more special by Ron, Philip and Brandon. Great room with balcony, quiet area close to Sandbaai and Onrus beaches. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. We stayed 3 nights and used it as a base to visit Hermanus, Stanford, golf at Arabella, Grotto Beach and wine tasting in Hemel en Aarde Valley. Attention to detail and lots of personal touches made this a memorable and special stay...

    The property is beautiful and the attention to detail from the owners is exceptional. Our room was fantastic with views to sea, large comfy bed, beautiful bath and shower. There is a lovely garden to sit for meals and a small pool to relax by after a day sightseeing around the area. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. As well as delicious breakfasts served each morning evening meals are served. We ate twice in the evening and both times the food lovely and we had a nice evening sitting outside on the terrace.

    Would've been nice to have received a face cloth in the bathroom.

    The area was nice and peaceful. Loved the fact that the owner is also the chef, felt like your own personal chef cooking for you. Breakfast was amazing. Loved the freshly baked bread. Rooms are very spacious and appreciated the complimentary upgrade.
