    The place is located in a beautiful location, perfect for whalespotting 🐋, either from your room or seashore. The dining room serves a good spread for breakfast within very reasonable hours - not too early. The room we were was spacious with topnotch finishes. Loved our stay there.

    Some repairs and maintenance required. Generator/inverter definitely required. Even though the wi-fi router were backed-up, they still lost signal strength. Parking area/needs improvement. A bigger breakfast menu is required. Spotted a few whales here and there.

    Beautiful, boutique hotel. Large rooms with spectacular views, accommodating staff, quiet, directly across the street from the ocean. Well priced. Breakfast is included.

    It was good with a nice view, but nothing more. The hotel is highly praised, however, it is very very noisy in the hotel, because everything sounds. The floor is made of smooth stone; every door slamming, every conversation can be heard, we could not sleep peacefully. It looks a bit outdated, but the hotel has so much potential! The staff was friendly, the breakfast was ok. For two nights ok, but not more.

    This was our second time staying here and they do not disappoint. Dumisani is always friendly and helpful. Rest of the staff is also super friendly and they always have a smile on their face. The view is beautiful from all the rooms. Spacious rooms with quality king size beds and soft bedding which is really important for a goods night rest. We always take walks when here as the walkways along the cliffs In De Kelders is so breathtaking, you MUST walk it. We'll be back again!

    This is a really nice accommodation in a lovely coastal town. They really work hard and try to go the extra mile. The rooms are clean and designed nicely, most amenities work, though our site conditioner was not working unfortunately. However, they provided us with an alternative device to heat the room. Load shedding was an issue and they don't have back up power but did provide you with an emergency light to use during those times. Breakfast was nice and prepared well. The location is one of us biggest selling points: right by the coast. Beautiful ocean views. Definitely a place to go to get away and clear your head. The managerial staff were knowledgable about activities in the area and even phoned or booked things and reserved seats at restaurants for you if requested. We definitely had a great experience and would go back in future.

    I was lucky enough to be upgraded to the penthouse suite for my birthday. What a treat, spaciousness galore! the biggest spa bath ever! and the view was stunning. I watched Southern Right whales mothers and calfs from our bedroom a mear 10 meters from the shore line directly below us. A totally outstanding experience. Highly recommend. I didn't want to leave.

    Stunning views from room. Very clean and spacious rooms and bathrooms. Geysers controlled by management, hot water only available at certain times. Request coffee pods from manager if required.
