A home away from home — very relaxing, quiet, and beautifully cared for. There are several spotless, well-appointed rooms to choose from, plus a terrific kitchen with everything you need. The verandahs are perfect for chilling out, and the off-street parking is a bonus. The owners are attentive and a wealth of local knowledge. Fantastic value for money and a great base for day trips to the Cape and nearby attractions, with awesome views and beautiful beaches close by. You’re sure to have a memor

As we wrote in the guestbook, this accomodation was the best we have ever been to! The hosts (Paul & Katalina) are very warmhearted and relaxed people and this spirit can be felt in every corner. It is absolutely cosy and you have everything you need for a very relaxed time. Every room is well-decorated with lovely details and you really feel like coming home. If you want to get the best of your travels you should definitely stay there!
