  An unforgettable stay with stunning views and exceptional hospitality!

  An absolutely incredible place with exceptional hospitality! The villa is stunning, with a unique layout, beautiful interiors, and breathtaking ocean views. The lower level has two bedrooms and a living area, while the upper level features a gorgeous ocean-facing lounge, dining area, and kitchen. What truly made our stay special was the people. We had two dedicated staff members and a private chef, all of whom were incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. The chef was one of the loveliest people we met during our trip! From the moment we checked in, we felt special. They welcomed us with drinks and rose petals, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The host and staff went above and beyond, recommending places to visit, helping us plan our activities, and arranging a fantastic safari experience through their company. The lighthouse itself was another highlight. We even had a guided tour and got to climb to the top! The entire team was genuinely wonderful, and their warmth and hospitality made this one of our most memorable stays in South Africa.

  Absolutely nothing! Everything was wonderful, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

  Sadly I will not be returning to this stunning villa due to security risk

  Such a stunning villa, and Ashwin was a great host.

  Major security risk!!!!! On our second night at the property there was unfortunately an incident where a guy tried to enter the lighthouse late at night. Very traumatising as it was only my two kids and I staying at the villa. Ashwin was exceptional at trying to fend the man off, but I realised there was NO security at all on the premises. No fencing around the villa and lighthouse, no night guard on patrol, no panic button… One security camera had also been removed (apparently 3 weeks prior, for maintenance?). I phoned the police and the SANCCOB emergency number. SANCCOB put me in touch with Dark Water Ops. It however took a long time for the unit to arrive. Had the intruder been armed, this story could have ended very differently. When I started reading more I also realised this coastline is known for the presence of abalone poachers and opportunistic thieves. Even though one has to enter via a security gate when traveling by road, there are no barriers if someone wants to enter via the coastline or along the beach. Because the setting is so stunning I was looking forward to visit again, but after this incident I definitely will not take the risk again unless proper security measures are put in place to prevent direct access to the villa and guests.

  Beautiful, on the beach way from all the busyness.

  Ashwin and Arlene welcomed us so warmly and ensured we had everything we needed for a cosy stay, the fire was amazing. The views and location on the beach was breathtaking.. the lighthouse is something we got to check out for the very first time, mind blowing. Everything was beautiful.

  Beautiful location, with great service and welcoming environment.

  Ashwin and Annelize were fantastic throughout the time, I loved the views and the beach trails

  The Wifi had its spotty spaces and could have been better
