Note Zuid-Afrika specialist: Mooi gelegen 5 sterren guesthouse. Zeer geschikt voor golfers (Simola golfbaan ligt vlak bij) Mooi uitzicht op de lagoon. Eigenaar organiseert zelf allerlei excursies indien gewenst en kan ook voor teetimes zorgen.  De kamers met lagoon view zijn het mooiste maar de garden rooms zijn ook prachtig, deze hebben onderbroken lagoon view. De afstand naar het centrum is met de auto ca. 5 minuten. Het guesthouse wordt door vader, zoon en dochter gerund. Zwembad, buitenterras en mooie tuin.
