I loved everything about the apartment, to the friendly warm staff to the manager, so sweet! Our room was so clean and refreshing! The swimming pool was just out of this world! My son and I really enjoyed every bit of experience we had there. Would definitely go the again.

What can I say? Even before we arrived, Matthias was already making us feel at home with thoughtful recommendations and great advice about the area. But the real magic began once we got there. He welcomed us with a warm tea and personally showed us around the garden, explaining all the plants they grow (many of which are later used in their delicious homemade breakfast). It felt more special than a tour, he truly took the time to connect with us, and that made all the difference. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed (even heated blankets!) From the balcony, the view is simply breathtaking. If you love animals, don’t miss the chance to meet Ms. Piggy, their adorable pet pig who happily roams the garden, and the hens that provide fresh eggs for breakfast. The rest of the staff are just as wonderful, always ready to stop for a chat, and we had such lovely conversations. Honestly, it’s hard to put into words how welcome and cared for we felt here. Along our journey through the Garden Route we stayed in other places, some very nice, but nothing compared to this experience. Everything was spotless, the atmosphere was cozy like a true guesthouse, and the service was impeccable. The bed was super comfy, the bathroom spacious and well-equipped, every little detail was thought of. I promise no one is paying me to say this, but when service is this genuine, it deserves to be shared. This is exactly what you hope to find when traveling: warmth, authenticity, and a home away from home. Thank you to everyone for making our stay unforgettable, I can’t wait to come back!

The property was very spacious and had a beautiful view. Everything about this place was very good. They had smart Tv so you can watch Netflix. The owners were very friendly n helpful. It was a comfortable stay apart from the cold weather. The housekeeping was daily . This property is on the other side of waterfront area but not too far just a 10min drive away. There were supermarkets n restaurants nearby as well.
