Breakfast is superb and the staff absolutely lovely, the boss will suggest you all the best places around. Five minutes from the beach and some more from the village. Every room has a balcony where breakfast is served,... More

Such a lovely place, a beautiful garden, the house has been well renovated with some lovely touches and everything that has already been said is true, just felt a little 'over priced' for what was in effect a fairly simple room with no airconditioning and a really, really hard bed. Also afternoon tea was not included ( unusual in my... More

In the ten years of running Villa Jacaranda, I have learnt it is not possible to please everyone. Having said that, it is always our endeavour to make all our guests' stay as pleasant as possible. I am truly sorry we did not live up to your expectations. Since your stay, the beds have new, slightly softer (I remain partial... More

We are a family of six and stayed for only one night. Ajay and his staff made us very welcome. Ajay having lived in London was a great communicator, and his local knowledge was really helpful. The accomadation was simple but beautifully and immaculately presented. We had a lovely large room with balcony. Our breakfast was perfect and served with... More

What a place..... Four exquisite rooms situated in a beautiful villa in the garden of Eden all with individual balconies/verandas in which you are served breakfast every morning. Delicious breakfast, served to perfection while we enjoyed the view of the luscious garden. Such a dream that we decided to spend out last day solely in the villa and was served... More

I spent four wonderful days at Villa Jacaranda. The rooms were beautifully decorated, the garden was stunning, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfasts on my private balcony were absolutely delicious. The location was close to the beach but far enough away from the busy North Cliffs area which seemed quite noisy. More

We have spent the last ten days at Jacaranda and enjoyed every minute of it. We were loathed to go home! Ajay and his team are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. Jacaranda is a stunning house, very clean, quiet (out of festival time!!!) and to sit on the veranda enjoying breakfast is the stuff dreams are made of. Jacaranda... More

Just returned from an extremely relaxing 2 week stay over New Year at Villa Jacaranda. A tranquil oasis away from it all. We were very well looked after by Ajay and his team, with thoughtful added bonuses of fresh crisp linen, a small fridge with icy water to combat the heat, fresh flowers in the rooms and a constant soundtrack...
