For 5 years my partner and I have been coming here to rest and recuperate after a hard year and always find that we leave refreshed and recuperated with energy for the next year, quiet and peaceful central to all that we need with very friendly hosts who make you feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

The owners arranged very quickly to have it fixed... More

Great place to stay! Each morning the breakfast was excellent and the host and hostess, Cecil and Edith, were always cheerful and helpful. We stayed with our 12 year old son in the family suite and had all the comforts of home. The view of the lagoon from the private balcony was great. The location is close to all the... More

We had a wonderful stay @ Lavender Hill. Cecil and Edith were warm, kind and gracious hosts! Excellent Breakfast, beautiful and clean rooms, incredible views. An additional welcomed perk was their laundry service which was prompt and very reasonable. I look forward to a return stay!

Dear Pastor Lane Thank you for the lovely review. Cecil and I enjoyed your stay in our guest house. Its not often that we have a group of 7 young men staying at Lavender Hill + doing the wonderful work you did in the township. May your group go from strength to strength. God bless you all.

Attentive, welcoming guest house that made the guests feel very well-looked after. This accommodation gives excellent value for money. Hospitable hosts accommodated 5 girls with a cooked breakfast & very early send off to the airport on their day of departure.
