It was great but I used most for sleeping because spent the day out. The shower water flow needs an improvment and the room needs some extra blockout curtains because as the sun rises the light in the room makes impossible to sleep. The owner was so friendly and welcoming and all was clean and confortable. I really enjoyed my stay. ##### Sonia Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Albie Dec 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Such an amazing place.

Die Gastgeber Duncan und Marina haben mit Ihrem Guesthouse ganze Arbeit geleistet. Die Zimmer mit eigenem kleinen Bad sind mit einfachen Mitteln sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und extrem bequem. Man kann sich vor jedem Zimmer - sozusagen direkt am Strand - an einen kleinen Tisch setzen und den Meeresblick genießen. Das reichhaltige Frühstück kann man im Obergeschoss des Hauses mit Blick aufs Meer einnehmen, was auch eine Terrasse einschließt. Leider haben wir hier nur eine Nacht verbracht......das wird sich beim nächsten mal ändern ! Thank you Duncan & Marina ! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1738-p97302f90-4229-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Silke ### 10/10 Excellent #### Johan Feb 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome stay! We had an amazing stay, from the welcoming check-in, the room and the view to the breakfast and the nice and friendly talks with the owner. The beach is almost empty and you are able to see it from your bed. To fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves was also a special treat. We can highly recommend this place!

The service was superb and so were the breakfasts. The view from our table at breakfast was beautiful. Not to forget the superb companionship of the legend himself - Mr. Watson. ##### Glen ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Feb 19, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent B & B on the beach. We booked the bed and breakfast as a relaxing first couple of days on arrival in South Africa and were very happy with our choice. The accommodation is right on the beach in a quiet residential neighbourhood but provided a good base for a day long secluded beach walk to Paternoster and back. The hosts were fantastic, allowed us to check-in early and even offered to drive to pick us up in the event that we tired during our walk. Our room was great, with lots of attention to detail and included coffee and tea making facilities, fridge etc. and the wifi was adequate. The breakfast was substantial with a range of drink, cereals, fruit and yoghurt and full english cooked to order. All in all a great experience. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1096-p0383cad0-f6ae-11e6-95d6-d6dabd773de3-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrew ### 8/10 Good #### Mike Feb 6, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice Nice stay, however the walls are to thin and insufficient parking.
