Lovely pool and close to beach, but needs some maintenance and avoid if stairs are a problem

easy friendly checkin, well-equipped kitchen, large lounge area, lovely swimming pool, short walk to beach

lots of stairs to reach accommodation from car park, and to get to pool and other facilities. Braai area also downstairs but nowhere to sit and eat close to braai. Chalet needs some maintenance as several of the electrical sockets did not work and lamps were broken. Beds quite hard and not very comfortable.

Absolutely fabulous!

We had a self-catering unit with everything we needed to have a whole bunch of fun, from watching rugby at Guido's to walking back to the chalet, enjoying the rest of the evening with friends and listening to the ocean. Awesome place to stay, highly recommended, and will return. Ps. We love the Dassie Families that live in the resort - precious.

We should have booked in longer; we needed more time to explore. Other than extending our stay next time, we wouldn't change anything.

Wifi was weak and eventually went off on the 2nd day. The Jaccuzi had cold water and the bathrooms were not en-suit as per advert. We had to pay extra to access the games and jaccuzi which is not specified prior the bookings.
