    For me, it was just great!

    It was everything my dearest wife and I could wish for, the quiet atmosphere, with only the sound of the ocean and the birds, meters away from the river and the beach. We were walking along the beach to dine at the main beach, and walking back again in the evening was awesome, and we felt safe. It was special and we will do it again! Many thanks to our great hosts who shared their paradise with us!

    Everything was great; we couldn't have asked for more.

    This is a fantastic place to stay and we are extremely grateful to Jacky and Guy for all their hospitality. The facilities were wonderful and beautifully situated just by the beach and at the river mouth, which was really quiet and peaceful. Four of us were easily accommodated in the twin bedroom and living room. A late check-out was no problem at all and Jacky was full of information with regard the local area, things to do and see. We were delighted with this property and cannot recommend it highly enough. Just one small tip: it is right at the end of a narrow lane and not all obvious ie not signs (that we noticed) from the main road; at least one offline maps app did have show it. So make sure you have an exact location (although the property is correctly marked on at least some online maps such as Google).

    On arrival, the driveway between the main access control point and the house gate was overgrown with dry twiggs scratching the car. Reported to the host. Thankfully, returning the next afternoon the bush had been trimmed. I think it's something to keep an eye on as there is no simpler way of reversing it when the car is already scratched.

    Though I felt pressured about the latest check-in time being 5pm, the host was accommodating. She was warm and welcoming. The home was clean, comfortable with beautiful beach views.

    If you are looking for a fault you will get one. Rather look for something worth celebrating /enjoyed at each place you visit. Be great full of every chance we have in the day and age. It is just grace that got us here.

    Location - private yet safe. About 50m from a private beach. Host - Jackie was accommodating us with our requests regarding our visit. Safety - Always somebody around, can also see your vehicle from the apartment. Unt - Had everything we needed, modern and tasteful.

    An incredible property run by even more incredible hosts. The house is nestled away on a gorgeous property with direct access onto the beach, and a gorgeous lookout point with a table to have drinks or dinner at. The main beach is lovely to swim at and can be reached by walking. A truly wonderful place to spend some time away.

    The most amazing situation by the beach. I walked it twice and wished we could have stayed longer. Great recommendation from the owner, Jackie, of a restaurant, the frenchman. Jackie was very nice and helpful with everything. Loved the whole place, the garden, the wiews and visit of the monkeys. And very peaceful.
