"It’s a beautiful location and the gardens and views are unbelievable. The service is great, however we did not have hot water both mornings we stayed and the coffee machine was not working and the remote control batteries were flat. Not serious but not to expectations for a boutique hotel."

"We spent 2 wonderful nights at this delightful property. Right on the beach with fantastic rooms and lots included in the price. Warm and friendly owners and this extends to all the staff. Even though the weather wasn't great, it was lovely enough for us to take a long walk along the pristine beach, watching dolphins in the surf. We loved it so much we have booked to stay again for 5 nights later this year - that should show how much we enjoyed it - and we can't wait to return."

"This is a hidden gem for sure. The view from our room of the ocean was amazing to see in the mornings and then at sunset. We love the communication using WhatsApp. Nice to communicate when we wanted breakfast delivered and to make dinner reservations. We left a coat in the closet and the manager held it for our return through the area 2 days later. I honestly wouldn't have remembered leaving it at all. So thankful. Breakfast was a big yogurt and ham/egg sandwich that was perfect to start the day. The restaurant on-site is perfect for dinner without traveling at night. Plenty of parking on-site. We will definitely stay here on our next trip along the Garden Route."
