Guests rave about spot-on cleanliness, king-size beds dressed in crisp cotton, and a breakfast feast that could headline any foodie blog. Add hosts who’ll wash your car unprompted or jump-start a dead rental battery, and you have one of the most talked-about B&Bs along the Western Cape Whale Route.
