Tshidi M.
The peace here is hard to put into words. From the bedrooms, the ocean view is something else, and the atmosphere, views, and everything about the place felt out of this world. The online photos are accurate, and it felt like a real home away from home, with a great host and everything working. My friends and I had a blast, and we had so much fun.

The ocean views are beautiful and the house itself is lovely, but the upkeep and maintenance let it down. We couldn't even unpack because there was cockroach poo in the cupboards. For what they're charging, they could afford some updates, fumigation, and better cleaning. If they got that right, it would be perfect.

We stayed for eight days and not once was the house cleaned. The worst part was finding maggots behind the microwave, where food had been left to rot, and the smell was awful. The view and the house itself are lovely, but it was poorly maintained and dirty. I won't be returning.

We had a peaceful, quiet stay, and everything we needed was within walking distance. The host was welcoming and attentive, making sure our basic needs were covered. I'd come back and recommend it to anyone looking for some peace of mind.

Lindy was a lovely host, and the house is beautiful. We had a great time staying there, though there was an unpleasant smell when we arrived.
