Could not find any fault. Excellent accommodation & location and they are potentially looking to improve it. Kirsten our host was outstanding.
We already plan to return next year.

It was a lovely guest house. Great position for all the restaurants and shops. Breakfast isn't on site but the cafe where you can get breakfast is close by, either by car or a lovely walk. The air-conditioning unit was very noisy and when load shedding took place it stopped working as there is no inverter or solar for backup,when the power goes down.

Very safe. Enclosed yard parking. Genuine ocean view from Maine Rd to the bay. Easy walk to town. No catering at Guest House, but inclusive vouchers for full breakfast at restaurant in town.
Excellent idea, walk for breakfast before other activities. Owner very \"hands on\" and a real source of good advice.
