“Excellent location, great beach, try the food, excellent menu, Thai Seafood & Gin. Cheers.”
Great location on 2nd. Beach Road with great views of the beach just a short walk from the lodge. A private en suite room just above the car park so easy to access the room & a short walk to the Bar/Restaurant area. Very comfy double bed & spacious Bathroom/Shower are en suite. Ticked all the boxes. Communal kitchen area kept very clean. Perfect for us to make our breakfast in the morning. The food at night was exceptional. I had the Thai Panang Seafood Curry with a large bowl of Basmati Rice. so good I had it again the next night. At R125 = E5.75 it was the best value meal of our 3 weeks in SA. The double Gordons & Tonic @ R30 = E1.50 were a lovely treat each evening. Go there before everyone hears about this place.
