    We loved everything! Our room was amazing, breakfast with lovely fresh fruit, savoury and sweet choices as well as cooked to order eggs etc. Natasha and Devon so warm and welcoming, looking after your every need. We couldn’t have hoped for better.

    There is nothing that I can fault.

    The breakfast was superb. The wide range of choices were delicious and all the produce and baked goods on offer were beautifully fresh. The coffee was great and the real fresh fruit juice was a great compliment to the breakfast. The eggs benedict were cooked to perfection (to dream of!) and beautifully presented. The friendly staff were very attentive.

    Minor: Bed was ok, but it fantastic

    Exceptionally friendly hosts Natascha and Devon. Great breakfast with multiple fresh fruits, egg choices, fresh yoghurts and cereals. All blessed by a great ocean view. Welcome mini bar in room, airco properly working for hot days, little things taken care of and deliciously smelling fynbos soap & lotion. Gated parking at the guesthouse, a few minutes walking from the center.

    The stay was actually so nice, it's hard to name anything that didn't meet our expectations.

    Perfect location, close to the center, restaurants and the promenade. If you choose the right room you get an amazing view over the bay. Rooms are spacious and clean and the breakfast is fresh and tasty. You can park you car at the property, which also makes it much easier.
