We very much enjoyed our stay in this French Provençal-styled boutique hotel. We had two rooms, both of which were extremely comfortable. The beds and bed linen were superb and the staff very pleasant and professional. There was coffee and tea in the room as well as a snack, plus a minibar and luxury toiletries. The breakfast was delicious. We can highly recommend.

Absolutely enchanting! From the moment I stepped into the room, I was greeted by an atmosphere of sheer luxury and tranquility. Thanks for Linda and her Team The highlight of this exquisite retreat was the magnificent Jacuzzi and fireplace combination. Oh, what a joy it was to sink into the warm, bubbling waters of the Jacuzzi, enveloped by a sense of relaxation and serenity. With the soft crackling of the fireplace nearby, it was as if time stood still, allowing me to truly unwind and rejuvenate. Cleanliness is paramount to me, and I was overjoyed to find the room impeccably maintained. Every corner gleamed, and the meticulous attention to detail was evident. The decor was nothing short of a masterpiece. Each element within the room seemed carefully curated to create an ambiance of refined elegance. From the tasteful color palette to the thoughtfully chosen furnishings, it was evident that the owners had poured their hearts into crafting a space that is both visually appealing and emotionally comforting. And comfort, oh, the comfort! The bed seemed to be custom-made for a night of restful slumber. It's rare to find accommodations that strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and coziness, but this room achieved just that. But it wasn't just the physical aspects that made this stay extraordinary. The staff's warm and welcoming demeanor added a personal touch that made me feel like an esteemed guest. They were attentive and responsive, always ready to assist with a smile. The food was delicious, Linda every morning text me to knhow what breakfast we wanted, just perfect. In conclusion, my time in this room was an absolute delight. We will definitely come back.

Very comfortable and clean hotel with beautiful view to ocean, close to all necessary locations. Very interesting modern design with open showers and bath. Good for romantic stay. Grateful for extending 2 rooms for our group to take shower after shark diving before our check out.

    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.

    Such a warm and gentle hostess. Very quiet and thus perfect for relaxation. A beautiful pool area and friendly atmosphere. The house is located away from the hectic city centre which can still be reached in walking distance in a short time and wonderful walk along the coast.
