Verified reviewvery good

Stayed in Rose Cottage, very clean and comfortable, but the bathroom is very very small. The parking space for Rose Cottage is also very akward to access especially if there are other vehicles in the yard. Owners of bigger SUV's or vehicles such as double cab bakkies will have a hard time parking. Overall I would definitely recommend, staff are friendly and as mentioned room was clean and well stocked with crockery etc. Everything needed for self catering is there. Situated +- 500 meters from the Gonubie boardwalk and beach. Shops, fuel stations, take aways etc. all in close proximity.
