Beautiful house on the Breede River

GregoryRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Location is top class right on the river, Henk is easy to communicate with and allowed us to stay later on check-out. The main house is nicely done, with a big entertaining area, perfect for large family gatherings. The cottages at the back are needing some TLC - the upstairs bathroom in particular. The 6th bedroom is stuffy and small, so plan for the 5 bedrooms and you'll have a blast, esp if you rent a boat, loads of fun to be had.

JohanitaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Our second time in the best location ever. The new renovations are just what the gem needed to make it more open. Especially the new covered deck in front overlooking the ocean with new built in braai. The best location because away from the main beach and so nice just to walk out the door with your surfboard under your arm and 1 minute later you are in the ocean. We will definitely be back very soon. Thanks a lot for and amazing week.
