Lovely boutique hotel
This was part of trip where we had a longer stay of 3 nights we really enjoyed it here the hotel had a lot of character, rooms were nice not huge but had all that you needed. It was a good location for very good nearby restaurants, and a nice but busy beach within walking distance, also boat trips within walking distance. The food was amazing very large portions. Anything you need the staff will help with bookings for boat trips and restaurants. Very enjoyable stay.

A dream venue
This place is perfect! 2 minute walk to the beach, amazing rooms, and great food. The staff were really accommodating and generous with their support for activities and queries. On a rainy day, I decided to book a treatment at the spa and it was excellent! My favourite aspect of this venue was their display of South African artists. I adored the art and even managed to visit some of the artists studios after leaving the hotel to make purchases. Highly recommend this venue.

Perfect
This place was AMAZING! The staff were lovely. The building itself is an architectural treat, and the room was perfect. The food...wow! For sure, make sure you try the Shakshuka for breakfast. They even packed me a perfect hiking breakfast for a day of early morning hiking. The beach is 2 seconds from the accomodation and was beautiful (and safe!). One a rainy day, I visited their on ground spa and was not disappointed. My favourite thing about the place was their artwork - largely featuring local artists. I loved their art so much I visited one of the artists studios (in Knysna) and bought up big! Clearly...I highly recommend this place :)

Highly recommended
We were absolutely spoilt by the hotel staff. The service was fantastic and little personal touches every day added to the overall experience. The food was great. Free breakfast had a great selection of freshly prepared dishes. Lots of space around the pool. 2min walk to the beach, 10min walk along the beach to a few restaurants, ATM, a cafe. A hidden gem in a perfect location!
