Great location is what sells this self contained property with views to die for!! The staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing seemed a bother to them. We stayed 7 days and enjoyed spectacular sunrises and sunsets most days. Within walking distance of the town....but rembember, great views, mean up hill on the way back.....Would prefer a larger apartment, next time...but other than that, a great spot to spend time!

We stayed here for 4 nights during July 06. Absolutely wonderful. Stunning views from rooms across the Bay (unfortunately we didn't manage to see the whales as our weather wasn't very good). Very quiet, very safe. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. On good days you get your breakfast served on the veranda whereas the rainy days its served at your breakfast bar. Beds were very comfortable with fresh white linen. We had rooms next to each other - both were comfortable and roomy. So much more than just a B&B. Recommend to any and all. Ideal location for exploring the Cape.
