It had everything we needed and the local manager who checked us in was fantastic and provided lots of recommendations for places to go, sites to see, and where to eat. We enjoyed walking down to the beach to see penguins and other wildlife. We were even once greeted by a baboon calling out from the top of a house nearby. The view is breathtaking! You can see the sunrise over the bay in the morning as you drink your coffee on the portico or from the seating area inside. The owner has numerous potted plants as well as grape vines adorning the entrance way and outdoor seating areas. There is a beautiful mosaic mermaid mural which represents the naming of the cottage. Communication before and during the stay was with both the owner and the manager was excellent. We would love to stay here again in the future. A few days here left us wanting more. ##### KarenBeth B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rochelle R.

The property is very nice, great location close to penguins and easy drive to other attractions, and has great views. The listing could be clearer that there is a cash deposit and early arrival/departure fee. Not a problem, but that only became clear later when we signed the contract. ##### Avinash K.

Excellent service including, updates on load shedding schedules and alternative lighting and cooking options, sharing of local knowledge and responsive contact throughout our stay. Will most certainly place this property at the top of our return holiday accommodation options in the Western Cape. Thank you for delivering as advertised and adding to making this a memorable break. ##### Ilonka D. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J K.

The sunset and sunrise views over the bay was absolutely amazing from almost every window and porch of the home. My family loved the home so much that we want to buy it if it one day comes up for sale. Please let me know! The house was very well equipped with everything a guest could need. The property manager went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. Thank you so much! ##### J K.
