Die Lage in den Bergen war sehr ruhig, wir hatten einen schönen Blick aufs Meer. Alles sehr gepflegt, sehr nette Gastgeber, die einen mit Tipps für den Ort und Ausflüge versorgen.

Direkt neben der Unterkunft ist eine große Baustelle, was leider bei der Buchung nicht erwähnt wurde. Wir waren ziemlich entsetzt, als wir ankamen. Letztendlich war davon aber glücklicherweise im Zimmer nichts zu hören. Sollte aber erwähnt werden.

Lovely hosts but a shame about the building site right next door

8.0

The Boat House is a lovely small hotel with wonderful hosts - Walter and Amanda who were very helpful and had lots of knowledge about the area and South Africa in general. We couldn’t fault their hospitality and that of the staff.

The downside to this hotel is that the owners have decided to build another property slap bang next door so it was a building site from 8am to 6pm and therefore impossible to have any peace and quiet on our balcony. At no point did we have any prior knowledge of this building work taking place - such a shame as it’s likely to continue for quite some time.
