The Ocean View is a design showhouse, converted into a luxury guest house, and its location right on the beach is to die for. The villa stands out in the Wilderness dunes, with one of the most beautiful beaches of the Garden Route right on its doorstep. The interior is chic and cool, all materials and fittings used are European... More

We stayed three nights. two lots of steps led down to the lounge area and our room. The property is right on the sea front and as such there is a lot of wave crashing noise, double glazing would help. The temperature was quite warm but we were unable to have the patio doors open because of the sea noise.There... More

Overall a rather expensive. We also found... More

Lovely place, clearly lots of attention to detail on the fittings. Very friendly and helpful service, and great breakfast! Interesting place as you get the experience of living in a glass box which obviously has its downsides hence my 4 rating- felt a bit stark in some ways....

On the plus side the property looks the part. Very modern and uncluttered. The negatives: Our room was downstairs, we had to drag our big suitcases down two steep flights of stairs (no offer of help) The room was very dark but we found this compensated by the magnificent sound of the Ocean. The service was where the property let... More

we had a very pleasnt stay here, but the minimalist furnishings made it very noisey. The room heating controls also had a mind of their own! Room facilities excellant, Shower was great. View of the ocean Perfect, Gardens very nice, Breakfast good. Wifi didn't work.

We had such an amazing break there for a couple of days in early September. We were blessed with beautiful weather and long walks on the beach which we nearly had all to ourselves in the low season. There are lots to do in the area and the manager was very helpful in recommending things to do and places to... More

We had a gorgeous, modern room right on the ocean with incredible views. The views are amazing from every room, including the breakfast room. Breakfast was excellent, with cold and hot dishes made fresh for you. Our room's heater didn't work (radiant floor heat), so we were given a space heater, which worked fine. Our hot water didn't work very... More

This is a stunning property which might just take your breath away inside and out. We loved it. You can reach the beach from your room via a stair case straight onto the beautiful and wide sandy bay. The main highlight of this guest house is without a doubt the views and the huge glass walls in all areas of... More
