    Everything, the view was amazing, so comfortable and homey, little extras made it absolutely amazing, like hand soap and lotion and a garden swing, A rechargeable light for load shedding. Friendly staff, David is a gem. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished it could be longer

    The tranquillity was broken by ongoing renovations during my stay. I feel this should be done during winter when there are no guests. There were dogs jumping and slobbering over me, chewing my car tyres and paintwork and following me everywhere, even though the terms and conditions state no pets allowed. The rooms are lined up like dormitories with little privacy. The furnishings and amenities are functional but uninspiring. There is plenty of space for a kitchenette to store items. It doesn't create a good impression having a fridge and microwave at one end of the room and a desk at the other end with a few pieces of cheap cutlery in a plastic bowl. Finally the price is too high for what is on offer. I have stayed in much more luxurious and charming properties for far less.

    misrepresentation of the type of room or accomodation it was, it isn’t a Queen Suite but a just a large room, no kitchen, no kitchen sink, the level of noise from other staff members outside our window, the parking that was not properly organised

    the location was perfect and close to the beach, excellent staff and a large bed

    The location was not great, too remote. The surroundings was scary and not ideal for late night outings.The pictures of the place on booking.com were very deceiving. We were alone on the property, there was no other guests.

    The room was spacious

    The host and the care taker were very unprofessional and unethical.We had an accident where we were not aware that visitors are not allowed after 20:00 and our friend's came to see us very quietly,the caretaker send me a msg saying they not allowed after 20:00 and I replied and said we didn't know but they will leave within an hour..the host had to budge in our room uninvited and told our visitors to leave and they escorted them out..mind you we not even making a single noise, we were very quiet and they never told us that they not allowed after 20:00 meanwhile the rules of the properly said quite hours start from 22:00..We were very disappointed by such reaction.

    The place is beautiful and very clean.

    Furniture and decor are mismatched. No bedside lamps, bathroom door has no handles. Patio door and interleading door both get stuck. Booked for 2 adults and 2 kids; get there sleeper couch pointed out but no linen. Also 2 towels only. Eventually was sorted out. Sleeper couch narrow and uncomfortable. Place has a weird smell, next morning dog comes in and pees inside: smell explained..

    The views and the pool are both stunning.

    There were no side lamps and bedside carpets. The view from the house is not as impressive and close like on the website. It was a mission to access the beach from the house.

    The room is a nice big size. The bathroom is nice and the water temperature excellent. I like that the rooms have a bar fridge and microwave and iron. The staff members are very friendly.

    The Nagasaki ruins beneath the swimming pool detracted from the beautiful, scenic sea view. We would have liked a small kitchenette area with a wash-up sink, though. The microwave oven needs a shelf or countertop, as opposed to being precariously balanced atop the fridge.

    The view was amazing, and David was really, really accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The swing bench by the pool is lovely, and the perfect place for a couple to enjoy sundowners. And how could we forget about Coco? She is such an amazing doggie - she stole our hearts!!!! All in all, we felt secure and really at home here!
