“Never book this crooked guesthouse.”
We arrived early for our 1 night pre booked pre paid stay to be told our room had been given to someone else and there was no other accommodation available in the area. We were informed we could make a 2 hour drive over the mountains in the dark ( where we knew there is a township ) and stay in a cabana. No thanks. The owner would not acknowledge that by giving our room to someone else, effectively leaving us homeless, was not just legally but morally wrong and begs the question how much money changed hands to give our room away.

“Living in the lap of the Gods, with the locals”
The location, the beach below and the infinity pool , the warm South African hospitality , the tasteful detail (eg bathroom products by a local artisan , good coffee , excellent breakfast by chef Peter ), and the all round experience .

“Awesome Ambience”
A serene, zen-like ambience has been created here by Garth and Natalie. If you are looking for quiet and comfortable surroundings that are still close to nature, including Penguins, the Cape and many beaches, I highly recommend Aqua Terra. Not to mention the wonderful breakfasts/brunches.

“Lovely place with some stunning views of false bay.”
The views. This place has some stunning views of false bay. Gaze outside the windows and you never now what you'll see in the ocean - we managed to catch a site of some whales. The breakfast was great and the stay was pleasant overall.

“Stunning location and away from the crowds.”
Lovely host, and Peter looked after us, great breakfast, amazing views. Went to Boulders Beach saw the penguins, Cape Point is very near and well worth a visit. Golfers must play at Clovelly, 15 minutes away. Garth gave us a late check out , so we spent less time at the airport.
