From the setting, the hospitality, quality of accommodation and excellent breakfasts there can be few establishments which can compare. Sue and Luc are great hosts, knowledgable about the area, good restaurants and go out of their way to help with bookings and recommendations

Sue and Luc's beautiful lodge has everything. The bedrooms are very comfortable indeed, and the lounge/dining room is spacious and comfortable, with a fabulous view of the coastline. The hosts make you feel as though you are personal friends, and not clients. Their secret is that they carry out most of the lodge functions themselves, and their attention to detail... More

Breakfast was very good, attention paid to the cooked breakfast plates. Loved the busy birds on the rocks and beach. Two nights is a too short stay..... ('on the side'... More

Excellent location and wonderful vista, lovely owners, beautifully maintained property, great breakfasts, nothing was too much trouble, our only regret was not staying longer. This is a great spot whether you are touring or looking for a short break from Cape Town.

The lodge is indeed located on the best spot and right at the tip of Shelly Point. From the plunge pool area you can see Britannia Bay and on the other side the point of Stompneus Bay. Close to the waterline we had a goodl view from our patio on the splashing waves and the immense number of seabirds together... More
