I absolutely loved this stay, Elizma was the perfect host and I was so sad to only stay for one night. The location is incredible right at the beach front and you can look out to the sea for sunrise. The bed was so comfy and the room is spacious and homely. The breakfast spread was honestly the best I’ve ever had and she even gave suggestions for our onward journey along the coast. Can not recommend this enough

For one night, this corner of paradise on the coast was our haven. 🌊 The breathtaking view upon waking was just a taste of the magic awaiting us. A warm welcome from Linda and her family, and thanks to her advice, an unforgettable moment: spotting the whales! 🐋 A short stay, but beyond all expectations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I looked at the previous reviews and everyone rated the breakfast highly, which made me curious... Upon tasting the breakfast, I agree with the other reviews lol, the breakfast was amazing. Steven is a great host, and the room was comfy with modern finishes. The guesthouse was walking distance from all places one would wish to visit and I could see how the pool area would be desirable in summer.

We really enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse. It is located in a quiet place but very close to the town centre and with a shortcut access to the famous cliff path. Stefan and Nikki are very welcoming hosts and helped us a lot with valuable recommendations on how to spend time. The room has new equipment and is very comfortable. We were there in hot time, but there was always fresh wind from the ocean in the night. Also, very delicious breakfast with generous portions. Definitely recommend this place!

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.
