Lovely stay at Onrus

The calmness and peace. BEAUTIFUL room in a stunning calm garden setup..with a private entrance...walking through a lush well attended garden. VERY friendly reception by James and meeting the hosts was equally special. A beach restaurant just round the corner was very unique and one can just imagine the vibrant atmosphere during peak season. THIS stay was very special.

Stunning accommodations, needs a little attention to detail

Excellent location. Lots of space. Loved the amenities, especially the pool table, the kitchen, the views and the garden. We loved the access to the river. It really feels like a mini-palace and a sanctuary. James was super nice and extremely helpful.

Amazingly beautiful place. 5 stars for us

We stayed here for 5 days and loved every second. We were in the beach suite which was stunning and I can’t say enough about the beautiful decking which overlooks the ocean and has a hot tub. Ymile the owner was so helpful. She booked all of our day trips for us and even went out of her way to get us some seasickness tablets for our shark diving trip. She also made some great recommendations, all of which we really enjoyed. James, who looks after you for the duration of your stay was also wonderful. He arranged our drive back to the airport and did an amazing job taking care of our room (we aren’t the tidiest of people!). I would 100% recommend staying here.

Just wonderful, perfect in every way!

What a fabulous find this was! We initially stayed in the Lagoon Villa at the start of our holiday and it was wonderful, an old colonial building surrounded by greenery with our own BBQ and beautiful outside area with sun loungers and chairs available on the very edge of the Lagoon, truly beautiful!! At the end of our holiday we decided to stay in the Beach Villa above which has breath taking views of the beach, complete with a jacuzzi where you could while away the hours staring at the view, the Villa itself was just perfect, as was the Lagoon Villa and James was always on hand to assist in anyway possible and made a point of cleaning the Villa every morning! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this fantastic place and I've no doubt that once we return to South Africa we will be staying there once more!! Thanks to our hosts for a perfect stay!

Unmatched location with a lot of privacy

Beautiful location, the view was spectacular, unbeatable in the area with a lot of privacy. Very spacious accomodation. Staff, in particular James, was very friendly and tended to our every need post-haste. Check-in and out was very smooth. Be sure to look at some of the extra's that the accomodation has to offer (such as massages in the room), for a very good price. We'll be back if we're ever in the region again.

Serene.We didn't feel the rush to get done and get out. James told use could stay until 12:00

James was a rock star. And Mrs Kennedy made a point to com and introduce herself which added rear special touch.

Peaceful, amazing views and exceptional hosts.

Amazing views with the most wonderful balcony overlooking the water. The short walk to a beautiful beach and cafe made the location ideal.James was a great asset and everyone was so friendly and helpful. We had a truly great few days stay.

Extremely relaxing stay out of the hustle and bustle of the Whale Festival, but close enough.

Host was extremely responsive on messages. There was someone on site to assist. We could have our doggies with us and that was a huge win.
