“Great weekend. Exceptionally good value for money.”
Very quaint. Self catering - nothing lacking. Very large fridge, gas plate, microwave, air fryer - choice of cutlery and crockery, pots and pans. Perfect accommodation for a longer stay. The birds in the braai area keep us very entertained. Lovely hosts.

The room at the Gift is well designed and has everything you need. Short driving distance from the main shops and restaurants of L'Aghulas and situated on the second street back from the beach. But the real gem of this place is the absolutely lovely couple who run it - they couldn't have been more considerate or kinder than they were.

“Joyful”
Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Everything was very clean. There were very subtle details thought in the room such as ice in the fridge, spare blankets etc. The vibe of the room itself was fantastic. Moreover, hosts (Mike&Liz) were very kind and friendly.

“Little gem tucked away.”
Details was nowhere overlooked. A tucked away gem. Amazing breakfast and loved the arty creativeness. The fatplants looking like the painting outside. The breakfast on an old painting. Quaint and lovely. Walking distance from sea. Lovely matress.

Everything was perfect, the place was clean, and the staff was excellent. The only challenge was that, there was no wardrobe for clothes. If the owner can remove the chest of drawers and the couch, then build a wardrobe on that space.
