Sadly, only a one night stop over whilst travelling the Garden Route, but we will go back for longer. Superb hotel with great service and very friendly staff. Room was large and spotless, and the food was delicious both evening meal and breakfast.

Must try
Great ambience, great service, you feel staff around you. Perfect location with sea view wherever you look. Tasty breakfast and with bit of luck spiced with whales playing on front of you. Room designed and decorated spot on. The only negative I will mention are old “tired” windows. We had strong wind during stay and it made a lot of noice and feeling like windows was not closed. Noise was fixed for noice, but still windy in the room.

A lovely hotel with an old fashioned sense of service. We parked directly outside the hotel and had a lovely welcome from one of the managers who showed us our rooms ( in the annex) - our bags were brought up straight away. It was my birthday so they had upgraded us to a suite with a partial sea view. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with hairdryers and Milton brown toiletries. We didn’t use either of the pools as it was cold but they looked clean and inviting. We had pre dinner drinks in the bar and ate dinner in the restaurant - all very well presented and delicious. Would happily stay again. Delightful shopping area at the top of the street too.
