Awesome hostess
What an amazing hostess. Katje made me feel very welcome when I arrived and almost like family for the rest of the time I was there. Definitely a home away from home. The suite is spacious, comfortable and has all the facilities as advertised. The breakfasts were amazing too!! I think I've discovered a little jewel. Thank you Katje and Mark for making my business trip memorable.

Einfach klasse!
Leider waren wir nur eine Nacht im 5-Options, supergerne wären wir länger geblieben. Kleines, hervorragend geführtes Haus mit persönlicher Note, Katja ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, man fühlt sich augenblicklich wohl, ihr Angestellter Mark hat uns sehr herzlich und nett empfangen bei unserer Ankunft. Super Frühstück, schönes und sauberes Zimmer. Man ist schnell am Strand und kann dort wunderbar - mit gigantischem Blick auf den Tafelberg - die Kitesurfer bestaunen. Der Tipp für das Abendessen war prima, wir kommen sehr gerne wieder, denn dieses Gästehaus war eines der Highlights auf unserer Rundreise.
