Spacious, comfortable bedroom, 5 star. Loved the location near the beach and Dutchies.

Fantastic location in a lovely Guest House. Thoroughly recommend

Pros: We were made to feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and we loved the large balcony. The beach was stunning and the addition of a good restaurant at the entrance to the beach was a big bonus.

Cons: The positioning of the air conditioning unit meant we had cold air blowing onto our heads and we couldn't alter the temperature.

Great stay by the beach

Pros: Our family of four had a lovely stay at Lavender Manor Guest Lodge over several nights. The family suite was perfectly sized for us and had everything we needed. The location couldn't be better—we were within walking distance of beautiful beaches and several great restaurants, which made exploring the area so easy. What really stood out was how sweet and welcoming the staff were with our children. Their kindness added such a special touch to our stay. We'd happily return to Lavender Manor on our next trip!
