The manager/host, Ed, was soooo kind and friendly. He welcomed us and made us feel at home from the minute we arrived. They also offered laundry services (ironing excluded) on the house. Amazing views, beautiful house, and waking up to the sound of the waves was really the cherry on the cake. Highly recommend!

Would have been nice to have the room swept out maybe once or twice over the 3.5 days we were there. Its gets a bit sandy after daily trips to the beach. But other than that, was so lovely!

Perfect 10… Ed the host and the cleaning lady Martjie was amazing. Offered me lunch and allowed me to keep my belongings there upon check out. The room was beautiful and clean with an added bonus of huge balcony covering the entire length of house.

The staff are always super friendly, welcoming and helpful. I always enjoy my stay here.

The windows in the bedroom could do with some upkeep, PA is very windy so wear and tear happens a lot quicker than expected.

The room overlooking the sea was just breathtaking. The room is huge, clean and well organised. The bathroom is the star of the whole room, i honestly feel like the pictures on the site doesnt capture how beautiful it is. Ed our host was friendly and lovely.

The host Ed is an absolute charm. He made sure that we are well aware of facilities and made us feel safe and welcomed. I would definitely recommend this house for a family vacation.

Everything was spotless. Fresh, clean towels, new soap. Ed the host was friendly and attentive.

The gravel road leading to it was the only issue

Great view, spacious room, huge bathroom, backup power. Really nice place!

House not exactly in as good condition as on pictures, but still very nice. I didn’t care for the hosts political opinions / world view. I didn’t ask to hear them.

Everything about the place is exceptional, the fact that they are not affected by loadshedding is a bonus since they have backup power. Ed is a great host and the stuff is friendly. It was our second time staying there and definitely recommend it.

All good

Beautiful and comfortable accomodation. Wonderful outlook over the beach. Friendly and attentive host.

Nothing to complain really - probably a little bit more pool cleaning could be done.
