The cleanliness was good . The location was fantastic. It's close to everything especially if you are visitor from cape town. The area is definitely beautiful and safe.
Jenny the manager was excellent. Always chatting and checking whether we needed anything. Definitely went out of her way to accommodate our diet(halal). Thank you. The staff were friendly and and the room was always very clean and towels were replaced everday. I also borrowed a book to read from the small library collection. The breakfast was nice with good efforts placed into it. Thank you again.

the room was clean and neat the managers on duty very friendly and helpful when needing things like iron they were available they gave us extra backdoor keys for when we need to go out at night
the cleaning lady was asked to give us extra towels she said ok and vanished never came back with extra towels. the other guests were very noisy running around in the passages for a good hour we tried the landline could reach it we wanted to complain but the manager apologised in the morning.

Clean, comfortable, great breakfast. They were even able to accommodate me for vegetarian food. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day. Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Jenny who even helped set up pick up from the airport. Laundry was available which was very convenient.
It was really cold at night and would have loved a warmer.

We arrived earlier than the usual check-in time, but the owner was friendly and promptly prepared our room upon our arrival.
It is a little bit far from the beachfront but a lovely place to stay for a weekend away.

The cleanliness,staff attitude was great.
It’s a bit far from our church and that for first timers it is a bit difficult to find.
