Guest reviews

Wow! We loved this place. Really unique. To have the back steps onto the sand and to be able to wake up and see those stunning views and watch the sunset. These were really special moments of our holiday. Spacious rooms with the biggest beds ever. We had a two bed villa. Beautiful furnishings and styling. Lovely touch that you receive a fruit platter and carafe of juice every day. Also loved that they filled up our glass bottles of water daily so we didn’t need to buy plastic bottles. We walked the length of the beach and honestly think this was the best place to be. Friendly and helpful owners, would recommend without hesitation.

Great location! Directly on the beach - wake up and jump straight into the sea :) Very nice owners - very helpful and you can have breakfast, which is freshly prepared daily in the apartment. We enjoyed our time as a family!

The apartment is perfectly located and the doors open out onto the beach, it was just as described. There was everything there you could need and the staff were brilliant Catherine was very helpful giving restaurant recommendations and advice on places to go. Every morning there was a plate of fresh fruit and jug of lime juice. It was well and truly idyllic

This place is amazing. Period. The four suites open right onto the beach with the sand and surf on your toes when you walk out the front door. Our suite was clean and well stocked, the proprietor was kind and helpful at every turn. The location is right next to a diving center 'Equinoxe Diving School' that is top notch and has great service - we did a basic dive and the owner and her staff are awesome, plus a car rental across the street ('Africar') where the owner there was very reasonable about renting cars. Food at the pizza store was mediocre, but if you walk about 100 feet to the Boat House- they have a great vibe restaurant facing the water as well. Overall awesome place to park for a vacation.

What a great location, absolutely right on the white fine sandy beach. Open the terrace gate, and you are really on the sand! There can hardly be a better location. Of course, you always have curious looks from passing tourists, and there are people lying in the sand right in front because the Tamakabaum provides shade on the left, but if you don't mind, you can't get closer to the beach! Next to it is a diving school on the left, the Baobab Pizzeria on the right. The sea is clear or cloudy depending on the tide, unfortunately, you can occasionally see garbage in the water, probably from the stream that runs 100m to the right into the sea. Snorkeling can be safely forgotten, but you can see some small sharks and rays early in the morning all the way to the right at the rocks, opposite Mike's Shop. The apartment extends over 2 floors, so maisonette. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, both with AC, and ceiling fan, one with a small TV. Safe and a toilet as well as a small balcony with a sea view are available. There is a clothes horse on the balcony. You lie in bed and hear the sea rustling in the room facing the sea. Downstairs there is a bathroom with a rain shower and toilet, the well-equipped kitchen, everything is there except an oven, and the living room with a spacious terrace. 2 sun loungers are provided. There is no AC on the ground floor, which did not bother us, a standing fan blows well. The sinks in the bathroom and kitchen only have cold water.

Nice welcome by the hostess, fresh fruits and free drinking water daily, direct access to the sea, fancy furnishings, air conditioning. All in all, a great accommodation.
