I little piece of heaven. Amazing location and so well maintained and it makes you feel at home. Arita was so welcoming and always willing to help. I will recommend this for anyone looking for a calming break-away in a breath taking part of the world.

The apartment was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The patio opens right onto the beach so the location is hard to beat. The biggest surprise and an absolute delight was the solar backup available during load shedding.
