Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Even on arrival, the entrance hints towards the grandeur of what lies beyond. Previously just the lodge, this property now also includes a Villa since December 2017, making this the ultimate coastal sanctuary with an intimate feel and focus on the finer details.

Situated in Westcliff, the Bakker Family prides themselves on excellent service and a more than comfortable stay in contemporary styled rooms. This owner run property, with distant sea-views, could easily be featured in any home or interior magazine for its simple elegance and chic style.

17 Luxurious rooms and suites. From Deluxe to Family, there’s a room for all types of travellers. Each individually and stylishly decorated with the added comforts of a ‘home away from home’. You’ll wish you could stay longer.
