Beautiful place and very well equipped. Excellent service from a very enthusiastic owner.
The only drawback is the fact that there is no view of the sea. But the sea is within walking distance and the beautiful location and good service make up for it.

Beautiful room.
The place to stay was neat but the owner made us feel uncomfortable because we were traveling with a small child and when the reservation was made and confirmed we were not told that no children were allowed. Also, we bought wine from several wine farms and when we wanted to use some of it at the pool, we had to pay a "corkage fee", but upstairs in our room we could have used it for free? The breakfast was excellent and must mention that the owners went out of their way to serve us earlier as we wanted to go to the caves before low tide. It is a very nice, neat little place. Noise from bar late at night can be disturbing for travelers.

Very neat unit in lovely Arniston.
There was nothing wrong with the unit itself. Unfortunately, after my swim at the beach, ready for a quiet afternoon of reading and relaxing, I find the music over the speakers around the pool area annoyingly loud. I was the only guest. Even a closed door did not quell the noise. Between 4 and 6 I repeatedly requested the owner to turn down or turn down the music, explaining to listen to the birds or sea. However, his attitude was that 'tastes differ', and after a heated argument he temporarily turned off the music in a fit of rage. I was sorry I had booked to eat there that night, because the experience was spoiled for me; moreover, the 'music' was turned on again. So, nice place, and if you like the type of music that usually plays in the background at Pick & Pay or Checkers - then this is your place. If you like silence, then don't. I will not go again.

Dear Elizabeth
You were not the only guest staying with us, you even chatted to the other guests in the restaurant the evening. As per the music, we did switch it off in the inner courtyard, we also closed doors and windows leading from the guest house into the courtyard. You later demanded that we switch it off totally. Which we did. We receive so many compliments about our selection of music. It is true in life that it is impossible to please everyone all the time. Be that as it may, our staff who witnessed you complaining about our music, informed us that the awful music you were referring to was coming from a house behind us.
Warm regards

Lovely atmosphere and owners were very hospitable and friendly.
The only comment I can give is that the ladies who clean the room should only wait until one has already left the premises before they come in and remove the bedclothes and don't do this when you go for breakfast. It feels like an invasion of one's privacy and that you need to get out as soon as possible.

The weather was terrible but the accommodation was great.
A very nice and friendly guest house. Despite the bad weather, we still didn't feel cooped up. The unit was clean and tidy. The absence of a TV in the room was actually very good - because then you can rest, chat and socialize better. I might want to experience a more intimate pub feel next time (they have, among other things, an incredible selection of whiskies, so will have to return!
