Beautiful and relaxing.

The view is stunning! The apartment is beautifully decorated, beds are comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The neighborhood was quiet and we could rest, we never felt unsafe or bothered by any monkeys. Kathy was in contact with us about everything we needed to know.

Be aware that there are about 30 stairs to climb to reach the apartment. Access to the private beach is not easy, you have to climb down steep rocks.

**Rating: 10/10** What an exceptional stay! This beautiful, rustic beachfront apartment was everything we had hoped for and more. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and waking up to the sound of the waves with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean was incredibly relaxing. It truly felt like having our own private beach cottage. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we needed for a week of rest and recovery after the Comrades Marathon. It was comfortable, peaceful, and the perfect place to unwind. Cathy was a fantastic host with a wonderful sense of humour. She made us feel genuinely welcome and well looked after, while still giving us complete privacy to enjoy the apartment at our own pace. A special mention must go to **Patience**, the housekeeper, who was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Great Location, unbelievable value for money, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful beachfront escape. We'll definitely be back!

We didn't manage to see the dolphins or whales.
