We enjoyed a lovely eight night stay at the Lazy Lion. Ella & Ricardo are the perfect hosts, very welcoming and friendly as were their staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was large, spotlessly clean and comfortable with a balcony and view over the lagoon. The pool area and gardens were fabulous. The breakfast was exceptional, offering freshly made buffet choices every morning, followed by a cooked option and was by far the best of our travels in SA. We will definitely return again next year and have already recommended it to friends.

We arrived at dusk in a tired and wet state after a sorry experience at a wildlife park on a very rainy day.Dear Leafy gave us such a welcome it helped revive our spirits, just what we needed. Lana showed us around the stunning hotel and our amazing room with spectacular view. We were really looked after. We were able to order a pizza and purchase a bottle of wine. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The staff were friendly and the service exceptional.

De View was the perfect place for us to stay for 3 nights. The location was ideal as it was close to town and many of the attractions we wanted to see. The property itself is clean, neat and very comfortable. The hosts thought of everything one might need. The hosts themselves are amazing! They were ready to help and make our stay comfortable. The breakfast and the view is something to rave about. We could have easily stayed longer.
