Beautiful sea views

8.0

My room had a beautiful view of the sea and I could hear the waves clearly even with the door closed. I also liked that channel 144 was available on the Dstv and not the usual very limited hospitality package that so many guest houses and hotels have. The wifi was also strong with no issues and there were enough points to charge everything. Parking was also not an issue.

The beach feels very close but to get there requires a 1km walk to the beachfront on a rather steep road. I also didn't feel very safe at the beachfront. It is rather run down around the promenade. I also found a live cockroach in the bathroom in the morning.
