    Ideal accommodation with a stunning setting not far from South Africa, the Garden Route, and Knysna. Beautifully maintained and newly-fashioned room with a personal safe, climate control, and a mini bar for a very good stay. A view of the sea from my window.

    The suite comes equipped with a work desk, a coffee/tea maker, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels; the location is stunning and marvelous for the price, close to the sea and a restaurant.

    We had a fantastic two-night breakaway to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. The breathtaking views of the Heads and the sea, luxurious comfort, outstanding food, and wonderful wine selection made our stay unforgettable. The hospitable staff topped it off with their exceptional service. Best place in South Africa, a true gem!

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    We had an amazing stay with priceless views at this hotel. The hotel facilities were spotlessly clean in common areas and our room which made us feel comfortable. It was easy to leave the property and explore the area with their transportation service. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast every morning while taking in the breathtaking views. The staff were outstanding and made us feel welcomed and at home throughout our stay.

    Nothing for me.
