    Sadly the storm had damaged the retaining wall in front of the apartment so the great view was obstructed by piles of rubble from the work & a generator was going all day. not the fault of the owners though

    Excellent location. comfortable bed & good quality linen. All the kitchen facilities you could need, including a coffee plunger & milk in the fridge. Very clean & neat. Good to have a full DSTV bouquet. A lovely, welcoming host in Antoinette

    The darkness once you enter the guesthouse The advert on booking.com doesn't give the whole picture. There was a small window with partial view of the beach

    Outside of the beach house was the beach right in front of the property. Lovely views from the outside

    We stayed in the Dolphin unit. There was No Bath or Built in braai on the patio as advertised everywhere. Those are on the 1st and 2nd floor units. Shower only and a small Skottel braai on the front outside area only. We are outdoor people so sitting on the sleeper couch in the lounge was not the most comfortable The built in braai was on the narrow side of the house in front of the cctv cameras. Braai was not clean enough to even want to braai on it. The hostess was more interested in getting all the paper work and formalities over and done with than even informing us as to when loadshedding was happening. She was also quick to inform us there is no housekeeping on the Monday as it was a public holiday. I am a guest that loves leaving a place as clean as I got it... I don't need to be told that is what is expected.

    Proximity to the beach. Well equipped kitchen and really comfortable king size bed

    Beautiful location, dedicated parking. Very clean place, comfortable bed, extremely helpful host. Antionette (host) helped with a late check-in and shared restaurant recommendations. She was also very prompt to respond to any questions via the booking.com website or over phone/text. Check-out was smooth. Ideal location for folks looking to spend time on the beach.

    There is nothing not to like about the property except there are not many restaurant options close by. It would be great to rely on your own transport to get the best experience of the place.

    Beautiful location right next to the beach. A super great host, she communicated with us frequently, and we had a seamless check-in. We had a very comfortable stay. Security features of the property are to be greatly commended. Well organized unit, with nothing missing. My family loved the place!

    We would have liked some prewarning that the closest shop is a 15 minute drive so that we could have been prepared a bit better. Construction on a house close by was a little annoying as they started work early in the morning and a lot of noise dropping people off and machinery, etc.

    This place was a gem! Right by the beach and we all loved it!

    Small things were outdated in the form of the dstv and tv,,, some additional blankets would be nice to utilize while away from the bedroom with your partner in the lounge when it's cold..

    All the open space was great, amazing for a romantic getaway.
