Kleinzee Oceanfront Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

Port Del Mar Luxury Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Good property decent rooms. Was perfect for our 1 night stop."

AfriCamps at Stanford Hills Estate- Glamping

8/10 Good

"The tent is amazing, very clean with everything you need. The Wi-Fi is really poor. Bit disappointed that there is no welcome food hamper, particularly as the shop closes at 5pm and the on site restaurant didn’t open. The hot tub was full of murky water and there wasn’t enough wood for the fire and the hot tub. Felt it was a little expensive. "
