Sunning rooms, Amazing bathrooms, friendly staff, awesome breakfast.
Pros:

First of all, the rooms were huge. The bed and lounge suite were so comfortable But the bathroom was amazing. The shower was 2.5m x 2.5m - amazing shower pressure. The hath was nice and big. Really one of the best rooms I have stayed in.
The breakfast was amazing - one of the best omelettes I have ever had.
The staff were great - friend and accommodating!

Pros:

Staff is very friendly and helpful.. Had my daughter farewell pics taken there.
Beautiful place.
There was just a very unfriendly guest that also had their son matric farewell there. And didn't wanted us to take pics at certain places as they booked.. I did find that very strange and upsetting as why be rude if you not even using the space or not really taking pics.. That was the only thing but further then that everything was 10/10
The 2 x managers was really very helpful and excellent service

Good for 1 night since it's cheap related to other accomodation.
Pros:

The location isn't bad, even if they sell "ocean view" rooms which are in fact on a second line to the ocean.

Cons:

The room is very big and almost empty, very cold, and with strange noises ion the walls at night.
