    gorgeous sea view
    fantastic food
    dinner style preference

    This is a gem of a place! I loved waking up to the view of the sea from my bungalow and enjoying the amazing food prepared by a talented chef. The only thing I noticed was that the dinner was à la carte, and I personally prefer buffet style, but it didn’t take away from my overall experience. 😊

    beach bar
    flavorful food

    amazing, amazing, amazing

    I had an absolute blast staying at this venue! The beautiful sandy beach is just a stone's throw away, and the beach bar serves the most delicious cocktails. The food absolutely blew me away – every bite was bursting with flavor, especially the gluten-free options!

    Beach vibes and Italian flavors 🇿🇦🌊

    The beach bar had the most lekker cocktails and pizzas, while the Italian chef cooked up brekkies that were to die for! The chill atmosphere and friendly staff made everything feel like a family affair.

    cozy atmosphere
    modest charm
    misleading description
    pool chemical
    dangerous water

    The bungalows have a unique charm with a modest, cozy atmosphere, making them a decent escape. The layout features lush greenery and is entirely intimate with only 14 units on the property.

    Misleading descriptions abound. the internet's advertised 'Sea View' is merely a peek through bushes and certainly not beachfront. Water from taps and showers is dangerously hot, posing a risk especially for children without warning signs. the pool had noticeable chemical issues, with mysteriously clear water but unsettling green sides in the filter.

    delicious seafood
    misleading sea view

    The seafood dish prepared by the chef was exceptionally flavorful, making my dining experience memorable.

    The bungalows offered only glimpses of the sea through bushes, which was misleading as they were advertised as 'sea view'.

    Perfect Family Getaway with Delicious Food

    We had a fantastic 3-night stay at this charming place, ideal for our family with two young boys. The pool area was well-kept, and the kids loved the toys available in the garden. The highlight for us was definitely the food – it felt like home cooking with exceptional Italian flavors that made every meal memorable. One downside was the lack of working wifi in the rooms, which could be improved for better connectivity.

    It was just a prime choice for a stopover in Kiwengwa with great value for money. The Italian chef cooked amazing breakfasts that made our mornings special. Make sure to try the cocktails at the beach bar.

    management behavior

    The food was a highlight, especially the American pancakes and flavorful seafood prepared by the chef. the stay was marred by a misleading description of the property, as no bungalows actually offer ocean views, and the management's temperamental behavior was concerning. the rooms feel sparsely furnished and lacked a cozy atmosphere.
