The decoration of the hotel was lovely, with a cozy and warm atmosphere. The common areas were well-maintained and spacious, making it easy for senior people to move around comfortably.
I would have liked to have more activities specifically catered to senior people.

Great location, friendly staff. Lovely cafe opposite the hotel. Clean pools and enjoyable bar. Good value for money and no security issues. Efficient maintenance service. Quaint, well-equipped, spacious unit with a challenging staircase. Short walk to the beach. Great pool.

Mingle with "quintessential African wildlife" without any effort, have a good rigging area with "showers" to rinse off, and enjoy the "unique" seating at the Coffee Shack corner.
Delightful surprise to find out I was staying in a backpacker's room when I was expecting the comfort and luxury of my own home.

Joe Fish is a few steps away from the hotel. Some of great tourist attractions like chokka trail were really close to the property. We loved seals backpackers: )

The unit we stayed in was mind-blowingly quaint and super well-equipped. It was incredibly clean and spacious, with a jaw-droppingly short walk to the beach. The pool was absolutely fantastic, and the food at the outdoor dining area was delicious. The bed was so comfortable, it felt like sleeping on clouds. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. We had an absolutely amazing stay and can't wait to book here again!

The location was ideal, with an estuary, port, and numerous beaches with great surf breaks nearby. We also enjoyed dining at the excellent restaurant across the road. The staff was helpful and the rooms were clean. The facilities provided everything we needed for our stay. Additionally, the lovely setting added to the overall experience.
The acoustics in the upper landing rooms were poor, causing noise from adjacent rooms to be disruptive at times.

The value for money at this backpackers was great, and the room was cute and well-maintained. The location was perfect, with easy access to the beach even in the rain. The staff members were cute, friendly, and provided excellent service.
The only breakfast option could be improved with more variety.

We had a great stay at a lovely backpackers in a beautiful location. The house we stayed in was spacious and well-equipped, and we even had the luxury of using the resort pool. The beach was just a short walk away, and the local coastline was fine. I highly recommend this place for a nice vacation.

The location is great, just a short walk to the beach and there's a lovely restaurant nearby where you can grab a bite to eat and relax. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, making our stay more enjoyable. the experience was pleasant and comfortable.
We had trouble finding the hotel as the directions provided were incorrect. It made it difficult to locate and there was no sign outside to guide us.
