    The fact that guests are expected to pay for breakfast separately is not explicitly stated. We assumed that the price includes breakfast since it is bed and breakfast only to be disappointed later

    The rooms were neat with aircon and microwave. Bathroom is spacious enough with the pool outside

    The beach was too far away! As we had no car it is nearly 50 Minutes to walk and also the beach was not ready and not a comfortable place to stay.

    The owner was really nice and very helpfull. He was catching us at the Busstation.We left one day earlyer because of the weather and he drowe us to Duban. A very big help and thank you.

    The fact that we could not have a hot breakfast on Saturday morning due to religious or cultural reasons but we did however have cereals served Otherwise, they made up for it in other areas. I would suggest, that guest be informed beforehand in order to prepare themselves.

    I loved the reception we received on the day of our arrival. Our room was clean, bathroom big and spacious and we had tea, coffee and bottled water in our room everyday. My kids loved the pool. The staff went over and above our needs and requests..Breakfast on Friday was delicious.

    I'm definitely coming back for relaxed visit, what I like the most is that is the quietness of the property so that's thumb up for me.

    We would have enjoyed more tea and coffee upon arrival in the room for the kitchenette - after the long drive hubby would have liked a coffee and we only had enough tea and cups for two people, but we made do considering the hour we arrived.

    Great location, nice and close to shops and about 5 to 10 min drive to the beach. Thank you so much to our host for going above and beyond and accommodating us by waiting up as we were super late for check-in. We really appreciated the warm welcome at such an hour and then stepping into our neat and cosy room was really pleasant after the long drive. Thank you for freshening up our room while we were out yesterday. Our baby also just LOVED the swimming pool :) We are also grateful for the privacy we got.

    The breakfast was excellent and the hosts were very nice and friendly. They drove us downtown for dinner and shuttled me to the airport to pick up my luggage which had been lost but the airline. I felt very safe and they can give you great advice on the area.

    We arrived late and the side entrance of the property had very little lighting which made getting our stuff to the rooms a bit difficult.

    Our rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner was helpful and we were able to use the kitchen to heat our food.

    Very limited dstv options and since the weather was somewhat miserable, not much else to do so a better variety would have been nice.

    Felt like home away from home. Host super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Close to main amenities and safe and secure.
