Room was clean with enough space and everything we needed, including laundry lines, for a good stay, but it was a little musty when we arrived and needed to be aired out. The host helped us find some great hikes in the area.

Reception was very friendly! It was easy to find, nice coffee shop a few minutes walk away… I forgot something in my room and they kept it for me and made it easy to pick it up later

The gentleman who greeted us was very helpful in explaining the check in and check out process. This is a very basic stay as a sleep over for your next journey. It was cold, as we stayed in June. However, the electric blanket made it all better.
This was a quick stop to our Great White Diving excursion! The place was perfect, big kitchen, big fridge, big everything. The apartment has a place to good braai and heated beds when it is cold. There is a tube and shower. Hot water is great. The area is safe and nice. Few good restaurants around the area, but we preferred to eat in since it was so nice. Check in was great, there is a gated entrance where you can leave the car.
Highly recommended!
The place was good. The lady there was quick to respond when called in for assistance. The only issue we had a problem with was WiFi that kept disappearing.
Esta foi a nossa segunda noite no estabelecimento e apesar de tudo ter sido praticamente perfeito, tivemos muitos problemas com o wi-fi que falhava muitas vezes. O staff sempre amigável e prestável e excelente localização.
O quarto era bastante espaçoso e confortável. O staff muito amigável e prestável, ajudando-nos a organizar um mergulho com tubarões. A localização era boa, calma e perto de supermercado e restaurantes. Muito boa opção para quem viaja de carro.
Appartamenti con angolo cucina, accessoriati, letti comodi, bel giardino, vicino a supermercati e a poca distanza dal porto e ristoranti. Gestori molto gentili che ci hanno dato informazioni su prenotazioni escursioni alle balene e squali.
Manager was very accommodating in changing our room from on the street location to a nearby quieter sister property with ocean views. Chantal even moved our luggage for us when we were out on a whale watching cruise. The interior courtyard rooms at the Town Lodge would be preferable but one was not available on our arrival. In any case the properties were clean and well equipped with good restaurants within walking distance. Recommend the Blue Goose, advance booking required.
Fantastic stay, wonderful host, defnitaly would recommend it to anyone.

Établissement spacieux mais
Chambre très spacieuse toute équipé. Cependant l'établissement est un peu à deux vitesses. Quatre chambres sont très bien placé et donne sur le parking sécurisé avec petit coin pour se poser à l'extérieur. Deux chambres donne directement sur la rue. Elles sont fermés par des portes fenêtres à vitrage simple et cette porte donne directement sur la rue. Ces chambres ne sont donc pas du tout sécurisé ce qui est 'limite" en afrique du sud.
Quarto super espaçoso, com cozinha completa, cama super confortável. Do outro lado da rua, na esquina, há uma pizzaria muito boa também. Única reclamação que eu teria é que o quarto é bem frio no inverno, praticamente sem sistema de aquecimento (há uma placa de metal na parede para aquecer o quarto, mas não dá conta nem de começar), mas pelo menos é incluído um cobertor elétrico na cama, então pra dormir você não passa frio.
