It really is a sanctuary of refined comfort that happens to be completely off the grid. Private picnics and secluded lunches on the beach, in the dunes or amongst the fynbos are easy to arrange. Activities for all ages can always be substituted for lazy pool days and sundowners on the rooftop terrace or the sheltered courtyard. Since it lies halfway between Cape Town and Knysna along the Garden Route, it is also a top destination for whale watching during season. All meals, snacks, soft drinks and two guided activities daily are complimentary. The same goes for the use of outdoor equipment such as snorkels, masks, water shoes, wetsuits, mountain bikes, sandboards, ponchos, gumboots, beach umbrellas and towels.
