Cape St Francis Coastal Resort Reviewed by John Oliver on 15 January 2011
The position is excellent and on such a beautiful beach and the accommodation is very good! Being very busy around new year, the resort is very crowded when filled with campers which detracts from it.

Cape St Francis Coastal Resort Reviewed by Richard Arnell on 8 May 2008
The accommodation was nice - we were disappointed at how dirty the unit was - on arrival the floors were gritty and very dusty - the carpets in the main bedroom were marked and unsightly - the kitchen crockery and cutlery had been used and not washed properly. The toilets, baths, beds and windows were nice and clean.
