Lovely, comfortable, peaceful.
Uncle Louis and Aunt Joy are the dearest and most wonderful people, we immediately felt at home. Uncle Louis makes the most delicious breakfast! We felt so pampered with cookies and rusks and chocolates in our room. They came to call us to watch the whales from the deck! We received much better service from the uncle and aunt than we have received from 5-star guest houses or a lodge, the apartment and room are much more equipped and comfortable than the 5-star guest house where we stayed in Wilderness. We will definitely go again.

Nice sea view over the bay.
Nice sea view to experience changed weather to Mossel Bay. Guest was very friendly especially when doing laundry when it rained like that. This self catering is just too small to fit everything in and braai facilities are chaotic, really need to be upgraded.

Nice to work by the sea.
Although unusual, I like to book self-catering accommodation if I need to travel for work. The "Lavender" unit is ideal. Well equipped for a quick meal with crockery, cutlery, microwave, two-plate stove and small oven, kettle, etc.) A table for work (and eating) and a sea view with beautiful garden where birds nest. Exactly the change in environment needed to stimulate creative and productive work.

Highly recommended.
Louis and Joy is a super friendly couple with their adorable dachshund and cat. Everything was so neat and the view from the room, living room and balcony is breathtaking. We slept with the sliding door open at night, but closed it later due to the "noise" of the waves! LOL! Beautiful birdlife around the house. Breakfast the next morning was 5 star+! We will definitely go stay there again and definitely for more than one night next time.

Comfortable stay with everything needed.
The accommodation is comfortable, quiet with everything you need. The place is perfect to switch off from the day's work. It's wonderfully quiet, but completely close enough to George and Mossel Bay to be able to work there, but spend the night away from the noise. With the option to cook for yourself or eat at a restaurant, I find the place to stay ideal. This time I went to eat in Hartenbos one night (lovely restaurants close by) and had a takeaway in the room the other night. Breakfast was delicious! The "road food breakfast" when I had to leave early was top notch! Thank you very, very much.
