Un vrai paradis !!!

Un petit paradis au clame avec tout sur place pour faire sa cuisine, boire un verre, profitez de la vue sur la mer. Cours de surf tous les jours, bar pour les plus fetards, propreté irréprochable, équipement pour faire sa cuisine complet (des repas sont aussi proposés) Je le recommande les yeux fermés

Great stop along east Cape

Had a good one night stay, beautiful location and great food. Accomodation itself is spartan, no fans or aircon so can get a bit hot in the rooms by day.

Wonderful stay for a couple!!

We stayed in one of the premium rooms with an incredible view over the lagoon and absolutely loved our stay. Got a wonderful massage, our laundry done, great food and drinks. We explored the beaches. Highly recommended for all. You need not rough it here - it was a premium feeling, great beds and service.
