“The perfect getaway for a business owner who just needed a little break!”
The location was perfect! I loved the balcony with the beautiful view where I could just sit and relax with my cappucino and my fleece blanket when it got a little cold.

“Good stopover for a night”
Good beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and a hot shower. Our corner unit had a private patio with a braai (we didn’t use it because we arrived late). It’s also nice to have a private parking spot right underneath the property (beware that this place is not suitable for people with mobility issues because of the steep stairs. Close to fantastic viewpoints!
