There is an in-house spa with a range of beauty treatments.

The rooms

There are five individually decorated rooms with soothing names like Vanilla, Rose and Cinnamon. The three luxurious ground floor sea-facing rooms allow you to walk straight onto the beach from your private patio. You can't get much closer.

Complimentary Rooibos amenities, bathrobes, a hairdryer, and a nightly turndown service are also included to make your stay more comfortable.

Activities

Relax on the patio, or in the guest lounge and watch the whales in season. Take a dip in the heated swimming pool or be pampered with a massage at the spa. Enjoy long leisurely strolls along the endless beach, or go fishing, kite surfing, sea kayaking, fishing, or horse riding. Dine on fresh Cape West Coast lobster at a local restaurant or just curl up in your room to snooze, read a book, or watch a movie.

What you'll love

What you'll love

Waking up in the morning and stepping out your veranda doors and onto the beach. The hotel is on the ‘quiet’ side of the village and you probably won’t see another soul.
Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

If you’re looking for a light bite at lunchtime or fancy staying in for an evening and watching the waves crash against the shore, ask the hotel to prepare a cheese platter to nibble on. Perfect!
