Wow, this boutique hotel is beautiful! All the staff were so lovely and friendly and Jarrod and Johan made us feel so welcome. The breakfast was excellent, the selection of fresh fruit was amazing and the cooked breakfast was delicious. The room was great as was the location. We were so sad to leave after a wonderful 6 night stay but we will be back next year!
