Beautiful place while staying over for business. After a long days work to come relax and enjoy the view the room and more. We were very well rested for the following long day ahead. The security is very tight and this was lovely to fall asleep knowing we were in safe hands. Thank you. We will definitely visit on our next business trip.

Eswatini
We traveled from Eswatini as a family of 9, hoping to spend the school break in a nice place and what we got was more than what we anticipated. The guest house is located in a clean, quiet, and safe place, close to malls and close to the beach. The staff was beyond amazing, and they were very helpful and accommodating as we were traveling with young children. As for the place, it's spacious and clean, and the interior decor is top-notch. I loved the architecture even on the outside, and the welcome cake and daily scrumptious breakfast (with so many options) was a cherry on top.. we truly had an amazing time, and we look forward to another family trip and hopefully stay longer.
