The hotel is a small ‘boutique style’ overlooking the marina. The view from the upstairs room was perfect for colourful sunrise and especially sunsets. The staff are so friendly and informative. Breakfast is not included but the restaurant has a lovely outside terrace. Food is excellent. We had Xmas Day lunch. Very nice. And plenty of it. The youngsters who work in the restaurant are very pleasant and work hard!

Nothing really to dislike.

Breakfast was lovely. We were alone at night but felt safe. We walked along the Marina and discovered it actually wasn’t far to a decent restaurant. But you must try and book a table. There’s also a little supply shop for milk etc which was open till late at night. Little heater in the room was a plus and aircon if needed.

Dinner at hotel would’ve been nice but it’s a small hotel so understandable.

I didn't eat at the facility but my friends were happy with their breakfast........it was not serving breakfast on Monday, unfortunately for me as I was prepared to have my breakfast on Monday just before leaving Veldrif.......

Room number has a gap at the top of the balcony door and it let cold wind in and I don't like cold as I'm a summer baby.

Love, love the location and the staff. The room was amazing but the bed was very hard. Also it was suprising that the restaurant was not open for dinner and that pool bar was closed, considering we were there in peak season. The food at the restaurant could also be better.

Love the balcony, views, the friendly staff

Location, facilities kept clean and very comfortable. Enough linen for winter and loadshedding proof as they have a backup generator. Child friendly.

I think the bath gowns need to be attended to, felt some itchy bites on my skin after putting them on, had to quickly take them off. Could be dust mites maybe. Otherwise excellent facilities.

My Kids stayed for one night as my son was cycling in a Road Race in Veldrif. The kids especially mentioned the friendly receptionist. 10/10 for her kindness and service. My son who is very fussy said he would definitely be back to stay.

I liked the setup, swimming pool and braai area. The 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms were perfect for our family of four

We reported on the first day that the door of one bathroom gets stuck when you are inside and after 4 days not fixed yet... was time and again stuck inside. NOT a nice experience.
