Ideally situated close to the beach & the many activities that the Hibiscus coast offers. As a family we loved the friendly atmosphere, superb breakfasts, secure environment and the stunning views - not only from the room, but also the dining area and the pool. Delightful and helpful hosts.

Thank you for your positive review, I happy that you enjoyed the quiet beach in front the guesthouse. Guests often have difficulty in finding the guesthouse if they use the street address. Unfortunatley in this area our street numbers are Lot numbers and are often not easy to follow. It is much easier to find if you follow the map... More

Service, room & breakfast were excellent, but a drawback was hearing the TV from an adjacent room. Brilliant location: a breathtaking view of the sea from the pool & easy access to the beach. Highly recommended.

It was a wonderful stay, great weather, walking distance to the beach , room was cleaned everyday, more communication with the clients, as I had to go in search of someone to do the laundry but all in all wonderful.
