The interior design was just incredible, Jonathan did an amazing job with that and also was a wonderful host (and cook). If you have the chance book the dinner with him. Highlights recommended! Also the breakfast is something special to wake up to. And these are just the highlights all in all just an awesome beautiful place to stay

Thanks to Lonnie and Mathilda, our Kids and I were welcomed in the most relaxing, calming and beautiful farm. The guesthouse is very new, furnished beautifully, cosy and very clean. We grilled every night and had a great night sleep. Additionally the restaurant in front gives a great option for delicious breakfast or afternoon cake, or both ;)

    Nicola and her husband were absolutely fantastic, and both the kids wished we were staying an extra day as they loved the cottage. Close to the harbour and the restaurant with Marine Dynamics were outstanding. My son was not well so with my daughter we went on the shark cage experience, staff assured us he would be looked after and they did. Happy man when we came back. Stay in the Guest House, speak to Nicola first top get a good rate on the shark experience as well as being very hospitable. Thank you.

    Our stay was magical, the location is magical! The property is right in front of the socean, we could hear the waves all the time and spot whales from our terrace. It is right on top of this beautiful path you can take along the coast. The property is not affected by loadshedding. As a family with three small children we felt welcomed. The owners are really nice people.

    It's a very big and comfortable place. Ideal for a family with two children and excellent for couples. Lihandri and his wife were incredibly welcoming and they were always willing to help and give us advice on what to see or do in the area. The place is exactly as shown in the pictures and perfectly clean and tidy. We'd definitely go back! Thanks for the wonderful stay!
