“What strikes me about this guesthouse is the dedication to creating themed suites, many featuring private decks and sea views. The pet-friendly policy, which welcomes small dogs, is another advantage for some travelers. Its location near Ballito's beaches and amenities makes it a solid choice, particularly given the landscaped gardens for quiet relaxation.”
