É um Guest House e não hotel. Muito bom, bonito e com pessoas muito agradáveis. O que faltou: Black out nas janelas, para quem gosta de dormir no escuro e no banheiro, shampoo e sabonete.

underbart läge att The Heads

Huset låg precis vid vattnet inte långt ifrån Knysna Heads. Gästfrihet från Marisa som inte kan beskrivas. Uppgraderade när vi checkade in, hade hela övervåningen för oss själva första natten. Fina rum och underbara terrasser, fritt att använda allt.

Sehr gepflegte, kleine Pension

Traumhafte Lage, Studio im Erdgeschoss ohne Meerblick, aber gut ausgestattet. Frühstück mit leichten Abstrichen kann auf Sonnenterrasse eingenommen werden. Inhaberin sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Pension ist ideal gelegen als Standort für Ausflüge.
