Hearing the waves constantly. No traffic noise. Very quiet area. Room very clean. Bedding super clean. Host very friendly and kind. Host was very kind to heat up my lunch and dinner in their microwave. Would be a good idea to put a small microwave oven at the coffee station.

“Terrific. Great value. Perfect location”
Ideally located at the back of a vegetation covered sand dune. A stroll through the dune to the spectacular beach. Endless walks. The Seal Point lighthouse is a short walk away with cafe and restaurants.... and the ocean views are also spectacular. staff there are friendly too. I visited 3 restaurants - Nevermind, Full Stop Cafe and Joe's Fish. all were good to v good.

We had a friendly welcome. Our room was large with a well equipped kitchen with hob and oven and use of brai. We were able to walk straight onto the beach from the garden. We had a good sized terrace with views across the sea. The bed was comfortable and the area was safe and quiet. Restaurants nearby within walking distance. Lovely beach with white sand and swimming.

“A short break that turned out to be a wonderful surprise. We will be back.”
Hilary went out of her way to accommodate us when we asked to stay another night. The unit was lovely with a beautiful view of the ocean and only a short walk to the beach. Cape St Francis is really a hidden gem, just a short distance away from St Francis Bay.
