  • "Friendly and warm people"

    "Loved almost everything. If the garden can be improved with landscaping e.g. grass and stone it will not only stabilise the soil and keeping sand away but it will give a good face to the place for advertising."

    "Great views and close to restaurants and bars, taxi service is available and affordable. The rooms are clean and comfortable but the bathroom isn't the one on the website, the shower is almost useless but for the one night it was fine.<div><br /></div><div>Establishments Response:</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.9px; background-color: #fefef0;">Thank you for your response, the bathroom picture on Safarinow does state that its a private room bathroom and not a dorm bathroom, I will take a look at the shower and did not realise it had a problem, we hope to see you again in the near future.</span></div>"

    21 February 2014

    "Enjoyed every moment of our stay there. The accommodation was excellent and so was the location. Very close to Cape Town and all the usual places such as Chapmans Peak Drive, Cape of Good Hope, Simonstown, Boulders Beach etc. Sarah who ran the place was excellent and helped us with a number of requests. Would definitely visit and stay here."
