“Cosy room, will rent it again if in the area”
Minor issue- better lighting around coffee station suggested, but not a real issue.

“Lovely little spot! Highly recommend”
This was such a stunning little spot and stay! The location was fabulous - very close to the center of town, but far away enough that it was quiet and peaceful. I stayed at the Little Gem as a stopover on my drive back to Cape Town from Namibia so had had a long day of driving. The Little Gem was exactly the cosy, comfortable place I needed after a long day. All of the fixtures were lovely, the bed was super comfortable, and the attention to detail was fabulous. The host, Ash, was divine - super flexible with checking in, warm, friendly, and gave me all of the advice I needed and answered my many questions. Really recommend staying here!
