The breakfast was so delicious, and I particularly appreciated the accommodation of our dietary requirements. Loved the fast and efficient service. Location of the place was perfect and easy to find. I was touched by our hosts Tessa and Gail who left their Christmas party early to welcome us.

i always book a room with a sea view. Breakfast always has a good variety of foods, and staff are very attentive and friendly. For the Comrades's runner we require a very early breakfast and i find it very slightly disappointing, as the hotel is 90% full of runners from all nations. A special shout out to the concierge ( a tall , solid looking, white Sth African whose name i cannot remember), he service was OUTSTANDING. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

The location is absolutely incredible. Right on the beach. I watched the sunrise very morning and took a dip in the sea. I slept with my windows open and could hear the waves crashing from my bed. The garden is lush and well maintained (biggest staghorn fern I've ever seen), the staff is friendly and helpful and the whole area radiates a sense of calm. The flat itself is tastefully decorated and well-equipped and the host was very helpful. Tame ibises! Visit the aquarium, it's lovely.

The 360 view from the deck with the pool was just incredible. I haven't experienced such a beautiful view before. It was amazing to sit in the pool and look down on the beach and ocean. Even the living room has a beautiful view. The security is first-class and the location absolutely ideal. Andrew is a kind host and gave valuable tips, while also seeing to it that we had enough coffee and milk. I hope to visit again soon.
