The location of the house was very good. It was very safe! The backyard was very beautiful, with a nice outdoor area and a large pool. The house was very large and spacious, the kitchen was fully equipped. The pool table was a good way to spend time. The rooms were large and comfortable. We had a great time there! Definitely recommend!

Great location only a short walk down to the lagoon. Short drive to the harbour where there's ample food options. The place itself was immaculate with so much attention to detail. Very comfortable stay. Would've liked to have stayed longer and wouldnt hesitate to book again.

The Entire place is spacious on cosy, the modern amenities were a great plus adn the location is perfect as everything is within walking distance. The best thing about the place is that you feel at home and you have a safe secure place that has off-street parking that isn't awkward.

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    Lovely cottage for a couple. Unbelievably well equipped with loads of storage space. Modern bathroom and cozy lounge area with TV. The small outside garden is lovely, lots of trees and birdsong. Quality cast aluminium table and chairs and two big gas plates embedded in a stainless steel table for cooking. There also is a portable braai.Lovely hosts
