We stayed there for 3 nights; I pre-arranged bookings with Sylvia and Thinus. The rooms are themed (we stayed in Lavender), and I found them clean, with good quality linen and in good repair.

We intended to take a family trip there to whale watch (some of us travelled from Dubai, another from the UK, so it was quite a big trip for us). It was, therefore, important to us that the accommodation we stayed in offered us sea views and we booked with On The Rocks specifically on this basis. They assured us, and confirmed via e-mail, that we would have two double, en suite, sea-facing rooms. The website seemed to suggest a decent standard of accommodation. However, when we arrived, we were very disappointed indeed. We were greeted by two yapping dogs (not everyone likes them!), a pleasant but not entirely communicative house-keeper and... more
