9.8
Outstanding beachfront location with beautiful views and easy access to the sea; repeatedly highlighted as a major plus.

Amenities
8.5
Communal areas, pool, bar and parking are praised, but in-room entertainment is limited (no DStv, few TV options — Netflix only) and some amenities show wear.
Value for Money
9
Perceived as good value overall — many guests felt the friendly service, location and experience justified the price, though one guest noted it felt more like a 3-star B&B than a boutique hotel.

Breakfast is frequently highlighted as very good with cooked options and a pleasant offering; limited local dining options off-property noted by some guests.
Overall Experience
9.4
Highly positive overall — numerous 'fantastic' and 'world class' comments; welcoming hosts and memorable service meant minor issues did not overshadow guests' stays.

Pros:

The location facing the water was convenient and as pictured. It was also close to the local market as well as the southernmost point.

Cons:

Because of the proximity to the ocean, the bedding was damp and everything generally felt uncomfortably chilly. We couldn’t get the heat turned up high enough to ever feel warm. The rolling barn doors to the bathroom also never fully closed and it meant there was no privacy in the bathroom, with the bed only a few feet from the toilet. Finally, the gate to the property was not operational so it was left open overnight and as two women traveling alone and the only guests at the property overnight, we were left feeling uncomfortable. We checked out at first light and moved onto the next destination.

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. Our room was very comfortable and I loved spending my birthday there.
Monique, the receptionist, wss a lovely, friendly lady.
She made us feel so welcome.
Breakfast was great! Hope made the best scrambled egg ever! Besides a cooked breakfast there were also fruits, yoghurt, cereals, etc.
What made our stay extra special was Poppie, the owl. We briefly saw the male, but sadly not the little one.
We would easily stay there again.

Cons:

Leaving. No complaints at all.

OTTIMO PUNTO DI PARTENZA PER VISITARE CAPO AGULHAS
Pros:

Ottima posizione per visitare Capo Agulhas.
Camera pulita, ma freddissima.

Cons:

La temperatura esterna era molto fredda e non esiste riscaldamento in camera. Sarebbe bene prevedere un condizionatore caldo/freddo.
la colazione non all'altezza di un 4 stelle. A parte le uova cucinate fresche sul momento, le marmellate era quelle confezionate anni 90.

If we hadnt paid for 3 nights we would have left earlier. It was definitely not worth R8500
Pros:

Hope Elizabeth were amazing and so was Monique the manager

Cons:

Definitely not a 5-star HOTEL as advertised. It is more like a bed and breakfast. If it was a hotel, one should be able to have room service, a meal at lunch and definitely a dinner. The doors of the room allow the wind to stream through and disturbing the blinds making it difficult to sleep. The iron balustrades are rusted and have been painted over in black. The hotel would not only have Netflix but one should get local channels as well. The towels were thin and threadbare, and the small facecloths were stained. The soap dispensers were fixed to the wall and there weren't enough in the showers

Chouette étape durant notre Road trip entre Cape Town et Port Elizabeth
Pros:

L’emplacement, l’accueil et les conseils de Monique +++

Cons:

Le simple vitrage (comme souvent en AS) ce qui rend la chambre très humide vu la proximité avec l’océan et la période hivernale durant laquelle nous avons séjourné
