About this place
Spend lazy, sun-filled afternoons on the spacious terrace with panoramic views of the ocean and the mountains. Relax with a glass of estate wine on the deck next to the beach, and enjoy magnificent views of breaking waves and spectacular African sunsets over the ocean, or watch the whales from the comfort of your bed.
No attention to detail has been spared in the superbly stylish decor. The five luxurious designer suites are individually fitted with all modern comforts, meeting international standards: king or queen-sized beds decked in 400-thread count Percale linen, under-floor heating, his and hers basins, heated towel rails, satellite TV, and free wireless internet access. We are a non-smoking facility.
Watch the whales frolicking in the waves in front of the guesthouse while lying in bed, taking a bath or having breakfast. Pick up shells next to the guesthouse, build sand castles or simply stroll along the popular coastal path among the rock pools. Secure parking is available on site. The extensive breakfast menu changes daily.
