The Guest House was very comfortable and did not lack in amenities. Very close to all of the restaurants and appeared to be safe for visitors ( walk at night - no gates necessary on the driveway etc.) The Manager (Bruce was extremely helpful). But ... the hot water was a bit erratic and some of the facilities needed replacing. A very pleasant stay- would go back again.

I will recommend the SA Places website to anyone as there accommodation is of 5 star standard. Being a travel agent I was pleasantly surprized as it is real value for money.
