Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The property is lovely and welcoming. It’s unfortunate that the Duty Manager is rude and bitter. She ruined the experience by kicking us out of the property at 11:40 saying that we cannot leave our car because the property closes when she takes her lunch break. We were told that she was new. Well, she clearly should not be working in the hospitality industry. We didn’t even spend 24h on the property although we booked the Honey Moon suite. The other staff members were amazing, especially Edna who felt bad for us and apologized as we were kicked out.

We stopped here as part of our honeymoon and had a wonderful stay. The property is gorgeous and looks onto the sea. Our room was very large with gorgeous views out from the balcony. Natasha the host was so helpful before and during our stay. She booked some local restaurants for us and sorted a taxi to collect us from Cape Town. Would highly recommend this property for a relaxing stay in the area.

Fantastic stay
Fantastic cottage and location, 5 minute stroll to centre of town with great restaurants and shopping. Had a lovely large room/bathroom and balcony overlooking the coast with far reaching views across the bay. Had great recommendations from host for things to do and local eateries - she was happy to make the bookings and made us very welcome.
