Really sweet apartment. It was clean, well equipped. Two good sized bedrooms and nice decor. We really enjoyed our stay. It was a little bit out of Hermanus and the satnav did not direct us accurately...Really sweet apartment. It was clean, well equipped. Two good sized bedrooms and nice decor. We really enjoyed our stay. It was a little bit out of Hermanus and the satnav did not direct us accurately so we struggled to find the entrance to the estate but got there eventually. The WiFi did not work which was a problem and the door got jammed closed but the staff were helpful. Not really a sea view as it was set back from the sea but lovely to hear the sound of the oceanShow More
