Exceptional host, great food, beautiful views, and outstanding care for our group. Our stay at African Dawn was wonderful. Lionel was an exceptional host who went out of his way to accommodate my additional guests and ensure we were comfortable and happy. His breakfasts were delicious, and he engaged exceptionally well with my group of teenagers. He is truly a man of his word. The views from his place are stunning. We look forward to staying there again.

Spectacular. Firstly, I want to thank Lionel, the host/owner, for the warm welcome. I had a peaceful and relaxing weekend. The view from my patio was amazing; I could see the blue ocean and the mountain. I would recommend anyone to go!

I left well rested and felt very safe during my stay. The children and I had a beautiful stay. The view was breathtaking and the stay was one of the best in a long time. Very friendly and welcoming owner. I will definitely go back and recommend the establishment to colleagues and family members. Looking forward to our next stay there.

Wonderful. I would definitely recommend African Dawn. The views are so beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful. The host, as I called him, is sweet, friendly, kind, and there's simply nothing he couldn't do, including cooking a delicious breakfast. We were well rested and would definitely go to African Dawn again.

Peaceful, quiet and incredibly welcoming. Thank you so much Lionel, we will be back! We had a lovely stay with Lionel at his guesthouse. He was a true gentleman and extremely helpful, even willing to assist with a piece of clothing I had forgotten! The property itself is beautiful, and the views were amazing. As it sometimes happens in our country, some locals have annexed empty properties in the area that you have to drive through to get to the African Dawn, but it's a very short drive and the views definitely made up for it by a long mile.

Lionel, the host, is an awesome person! I had a great stay, thank you very much! I had a great stay. It was only for one night and I had to leave very early the next morning, but my room was really nice. The self-catering unit has everything you need and it was all very neat and clean. Lionel, the host, is so incredibly friendly and helpful. He also had to get up early to let me out in the morning, but he did it with the biggest smile and kindness. I really appreciated it! I will definitely stay at African Dawn again.

Lionel, die gasheer, is 'n awesome mens! Ek het lekker gebly, baie dankie! Ek het baie lekker gebly. Dit was net vir een aand en ek moes baie vroeg uit die volgende oggend, maar my kamer was regtig baie lekker. Die selfsorg eenheid bevat alles wat jy nodig het en dit was alles mooi netjies en skoon. Lionel, die gasheer, is so ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hy moes ook vroeg opstaan om my uit te laat die oggend, maar hy het dit gedoen met die grootste glimlag en vriendelikheid. Ek het dit baie waardeer! Ek sal definitief weer by African Dawn oorbly.
