Every single thing. Location, rooms, facilities, ambience, breakfast . Every thing was par excellence and felt like home away from home. Mike was extra kind and helped us decide what to do around town. His suggestions made our trio even more memorable. He was so nice that he even helped fix my broken suitcase and I will forever remember that kindness

The chalets are situated beautifully, they feel secluded with a private beach, but are not remote at all. Every chalet has its own balcony/porch, but still with privacy. The kitchen is very well equipped. The staff is very friendly, and the chalets are cleaned every day.

Calm, friendly atmosphere in a stunningly beautiful location. It’s a pleasure to communicate with the hostess, who is a very interesting and multifaceted personality. Marisa pays attention to details to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is an opportunity to be as autonomous as possible and at the same time use a common space. We had the opportunity to have breakfast and dinner overlooking the bay on a beautiful terrace. The room even included beach towels in a bag. At our request, Marisa gave us a beach umbrella and chairs for our trip to the beach. Very quiet. There were no power outages like in many places in South Africa.

    I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

    Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

    My wife and I loved the beach viewing points. The private beach is really cool and awesome as you can walk further in without going deep in. We loved the cabins, access to town is easy and close by.
