Perfect small hotel.

This was the most beautiful hotel we’ve stayed at in a long time. We are frequent travellers and we stayed in some lovely hotels in South Africa but this was most definitely the top. The rooms were stunning as was the whole hotel. The service was excellent and friendly. Perfect stay!

Beautiful views and great service.

Wish we had been able to stay another night as we loved this place so much. It's in such a beautiful spot with spectacular views over the bay. Reception staff were all so friendly and welcoming and we had a fantastic dinner in the on-site restaurant that night with great customer service too. Worth noting, there is a fairly long and steep hill to the shops/cafes/restaurants in the town so if you had mobility issues that may be a problem (unless you were driving).

Must try

Great ambience, great service, you feel staff around you. Perfect location with sea view wherever you look. Tasty breakfast and with bit of luck spiced with whales playing on front of you. Room designed and decorated spot on. The only negative I will mention are old “tired” windows. We had strong wind during stay and it made a lot of noice and feeling like windows was not closed. Noise was fixed for noice, but still windy in the room.
