Very warm welcome, comfortable facilities, safe place, not far from Cape and not far from Bettys Beach through an amazing road. Good supermarkets nearby.

“A windy valentines weekend in Gordon's Bay”
I really liked the host's interaction, which was easily available without being intrusive. I loved the facility, the location, and the outfitting of the living, kitchen, and bathroom areas. The views are great and the property we'll kempt. For what we paid to stay here this venue far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Kim.

“Amazing experience! Would recommend again and again!”
Everything! Kim was the perfect host, everything we could need was available and she was easy to speak with if we needed any help with anything. The property was easy to find and set in a lovely location. Wonderful option for a braaing and swimming, outdoor seating in a relaxed environment. An amazing stay and gutted we were only here for 2 nights.

“It was a tranquil venue that makes you pause and reset… and if you get bored there’s plenty to do in the area”
The pool is a decent size and well maintained. You also have it all to yourself which is awesome! Interiors are well maintained and it has the basics for the kitchen… microwave, kettle, bar fridge, toaster and 2 plate gas hob. The bathroom was nice and clean and it has a loo with a view. Kim was very friendly but also respected our privacy and would alert me if anyone would be coming onto the property. She responded swiftly to queries and was always available and a quick WhatsApp msg away. MRD, Checkers and Woolworths delivers to the property so no need to pack lots of groceries… I would advise against taking lots of perishables as there’s only a bar fridge. They catered to everything we could need even supplying doom for the mosquitoes and flies!! (Its under the kitchen sink) I only discovered it on the second day. Thank you Kim for opening up your home.
