The guesthouse felt safe as a solo female traveller. Ballito sea front is a 10 minute walk ( safe walking alone in daylight), with a boardwalk, cafes, a supermarket and pharmacy. This is a great place to base yourself. Nothing to report, I will definitely stay here again and recommend to others

- Thomas (10/5): Romantic, comforting and homey, and actually made us sad and depressed to leave. - It was a last minute booking for the day, literally 30 minutes before we areived we asked for the bed to be made into a king bed and when we arrived we were greeted by a stunning property and a friendly host which showed us around and let us get comfortable. Overall it was romantic, calming and fun as it was very homey. Absolutely loved every minute and we even contemplated on staying another night however we were a little low on funds so we couldnt😅 Relatively small parking but we had the property to ourselves so we parked in the garage which was nice. Otherwise nothing to dislike
