    We do not like a shower or bath in the bedroom. The other rooms had separate bathrooms.

    Breakfast was very good, with orders for freshly cooked eggs, bacon etc taken. Gorgeous view over the sea and coastline. Well placed for a stroll along the seashore. Easy drive to restaurants in town.

    The property includes air conditioning in the list of facilities but there was no air conditioning in the room. The bathroom area is too big in relation to the room.

    The view is amazing. The location is very quiet.

    The ONLY negative points I have for a 5 night stay are: 1. No aircon - the room is not hot and well ventilated, but I would like that little crisp cold air to sleep better. 2. Washing can be done in the apartment, but what to do with it then? The staff was very helpful for hanging it out, but then it needed ironing, we used our steamer but no board. 3. There is no DSTV for sports and news, especially for longer stays and over weekends. This is not high on my list though. 4. Then the railing on the balcony wall is too high and totally cuts the view.

    The view was the best ever. The room was spacious and well laid out. The private breakfast corner was amazing and made us feel special, welcome and cared for. I am going back in October, and I will stay in the same room to see the wales. With this view, it WILL be AMAZING. It is a MUST. Thanks to the staff, we are well cared for and well rested.

    We expected to have a wonderful sea view but seeing as we were on the lower floor this was a bit compromised although there is a common lounge/dining area where one can view them.

    The proximity to the whales (mid Oct) was incredible, they come right up to the rocks in full view of the upper floors of the property. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and well decorated. Breakfast was very well cooked especially liked the muesli, fruit yoghurt combination.

    Amazing view from the room. We saw our first whale a few minutes after arrival and stood for hours watching one whale after the other playing in the seas.
