Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The freshly cooked breakfast was wonderful and cooked to how the guest wanted. The cold breakfast options were served in individual containers, not in a big bowl for all guests to help themselves. View of the ocean enabled me to see the whales from the comfort of our patio. Very quite not only in our room but in the lodge as a whole. Evening meal choices suited us. Good selection of SOuth African wines.
Negative: Just a niggle really - but I did not like being approached to take additional, and at a cost, activities whilst having our meals. We were told about them all at check in - that should be enough.
Summary: Tranquility with all the facilities you need
