We had an amazing stay! Michelle and Christopher are very friendly and helpful. The self-catering cottage is very well equipped (kitchen, TV, Netflix etc), comfortable and spacious. We liked it so much we stayed one night more. If you have a car and you're looking for a great place to stop on the coast, we definitely recommend it. Quality/price is great and the location is perfect to visit the surroundings.

The accommodation is absolutely stunning. It offers a great get away from daily life into a romantic calm little oasis. The hot tub is my absolut favourite, it was heated before our arrival and liesl even put together a lovely playlist on Spotify. Other than this everything we needed was there, a fire place, a little kitchen with a good coffee machine and even a vegetable garden, where we picked some vegetables in the morning. We had one of our best stays, thank you for everything and we can’t wait to come back. 10/10 recommendation!

It was amazing!!!! The house is very nice and has everything! Washing machine and dryer, fridge, cooling spaces, nice books, table for work, fire place and barbecue grill and a fire place in the living room!! Also, there is an alarm system and emergency button, so we felt very safe.

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    Lovely cottage for a couple. Unbelievably well equipped with loads of storage space. Modern bathroom and cozy lounge area with TV. The small outside garden is lovely, lots of trees and birdsong. Quality cast aluminium table and chairs and two big gas plates embedded in a stainless steel table for cooking. There also is a portable braai.Lovely hosts
