Beautiful. Easy. Restful. No length of sentence could convey just how magical it was. I'll return here every time I'm in Port Alfred.

Better than expected. Excellent, well-appointed accommodation with a friendly host. We loved our stay, which was too short.

Will use this again for golf trip. Simple, neat and comfortable with basic equipment to take care of needs. Can easily walk through to the beach, cottages are private and the place is quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful location and wonderful views - we will be back! Beautiful location and stunning sea views and beach access within a short walk down the pathway on the property. Accommodation is more than sufficient and is provided as advertised. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning!
