What a wonderful experience. Accommodation was exceptional. Restaurant was better than some Michelin Starred places we have visited. Food was out of this world. Service from Chantelle ( may be slightly different name, but young lady with red hair) was top class. Even the owner, lent us beach equipment. Rudolf was a brilliant host as was his lovely wife. What a gem of a place. Thanks also to Ben.

We stayed for 2 nights and were just starting to unwind. To experience the full benefits of the hosts, property and surrounding area plan a longer stay! The 5 course dinner with wine pairing is worth every rand and a must do🙂.

Muffiges altbackenes Hotel mit gutem Restaurant. Abgewöhnte Teppichböden und sichtbarer Renovierungsstau. Besonders störend war das sehr kleine Bad und der permanente Lärm von der gegenüberliegenden Nationalstraße.

Klein aber fein

Kleines Guest House an der Garden Route mit nur einer handvoll Zimmer, die gemütlich eingerichtet sind und nicht weit entfernt vom tollen Strand am Rand der Lagune liegen. Das beste ist das Abendessen im Restaurant, das zu den besten entlang der Garden Route gehört und in einmaliger Atmosphäre großartige Menüs und vielfältige Weine bietet. Zu Beginn erklärt bei einem Aperitif auf der Terrasse die vielfach ausgezeichnete Küchenchefin das Menü des Abends mit den verschiedenen Optionen. Allein das Abendessen ist eine Reise dorthin wert und würde in dieser Qualität in Deutschland ein vielfaches kosten.
