Thorn Bay by

Neat, practical and very good value for money.


Very good by

We had a good stay and for our work the hosts were very helpful in telling us about a site where we could do our work. The trip was very successful. As a first time visitor we were made to feel at home.


Great Stay by

Great stay for us and our doggy. Relaxing and always a beautiful view.

The stay was good, but that "dining table" is too unstable. We lost a couple of drinks, just cutting food! Also NO oven! All the food I bought for self catering needed to be baked, oven heated. I had to go and buy fish next door.


Die ligging en uitsig is pragtig by

Die eenheid bied die basiese benodigdhede. Teen die tarief wat gehef word voel ons dat die plekkie op 'n daaglikse basis skoongemaak kan word ( nie teen ekstra koste nie ). Om dieselfde rede glo ek kan toiletpapier meer gereeld as een rolletjie in ses daë voorsien word!! Die dakwaaier is nie in instaat om vinniger as die stadige spoed te waai nie, wat in die dag en 'n half van bergwind toestande van geen nut was nie. Die mikrogolfoondjie is nie werkend nie. Maar oor die algemeen het ek en Lin 'n aangename tydjie gehad en saamgestem dat ons weer sal gaan.


Little bit of Heaven by

It is truely a beautiful town, with very friendly people. The chalets are nicely situated & in the evening when you sit on your private stoep... you will see a stunning sunset :)


Good for the Soul by

The accommodation was ideal for what we were looking for..... quiet, chill time. The ever changing views of the sea and the sunsets were soul food. Being able to braai on our balcony was also a bonus. The room was spacious, excellent bed and everything spotlessly clean.
