Could not find any fault. Excellent accommodation & location and they are potentially looking to improve it. Kirsten our host was outstanding. We already plan to return next year.

It was a lovely guest house. Great position for all the restaurants and shops. Breakfast isn't on site but the cafe where you can get breakfast is close by, either by car or a lovely walk. The air-conditioning unit was very noisy and when load shedding took place it stopped working as there is no inverter or solar for backup,when the power goes down.

Very safe. Enclosed yard parking. Genuine ocean view from Maine Rd to the bay. Easy walk to town. No catering at Guest House, but inclusive vouchers for full breakfast at restaurant in town. Excellent idea, walk for breakfast before other activities. Owner very "hands on" and a real source of good advice.

Great location

Really convenient for the coastal path and easy access to town. The room was very comfortable and great views. The breakfast was excellent and Monica was a very helpful and informative host.

Die Gastgeberin war sehr nett und das Haus war wirklich sehr schön. Die Lage befindet sich unweit vom Hafen und vom Stadtzentrum. Frühstück gibt es in einem netten kleinen Café, welches zu Fuß schnell erreichbar ist. Die Gastgeberin hat uns auch Restaurant- Empfehlungen gegeben und sogar reserviert. Da wir nur kurz dort waren, hatte Sie uns noch ein Tip gegeben was wir eventuell in der kurzen Zeit noch machen könnten.

Das Guest Haus bietet sehr saubere, modern und komplett eingerichtete Zimmer mit privaten Parkplätzen nahe am Cliff Pass an. Die Gastgeberin ist, wie überall in Südafrika, super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Internetaccess via WLAN ist eher langsam. Nicht ideal ist, dass man für das Frühstück ca.10 Min zu einem Bistro laufen muss und dieses für südafrikanische Verhältnisse eher bescheiden ist.

Gut gelegene Unterkunft. Parkplätze genügend vorhanden. Das Frühstückskonzept (man muss sich abends zuvor entscheiden, was man essen will / ohne zu wissen wie groß die Portionen sind) sollte geändert werden. Auch die Reihenfolge wird einem durch das servieren vorgegeben. Beispiel: Kaffee oder Müsli kommt zuerst, Milch viel später. Oder man bestellt Käse und bekommt einen ganzen Camembert.
