Melkbosstrand Hospitality

It was disappointing to arrive and find that the Sea View room we had been promised had been given to someone else. The room we were moved to was clean and comfortable. The bedside lamp didn't work.& I forgot to ask the person cleaning the room to report it. The owner was very friendly and accommodating offering us access to the small apartment area so we had more space. We were within walking distance to good restaurants, the beach & had ample parking area. We would certainly recommend this property to friends.
