A gem, this small 4 star hotel has A1 position on the long sandy beach at St Francis and a short walk to the town centre. Boutique style décor, and personalised service make this one of the nicest places to stay on the Garden Route. The property has sea views all around and every room faces the beach with a door opening onto the garden and the steps down to the bay.

The lounge, deck and restaurant all overlook the sea, perfect for enjoying the superb cuisine on offer, be sure to have dinner here, it's a treat! Guest can help themselves to the honour bar or choose something from the wine list. Make sure you keep one eye on the sea to spot the dolphins- a couple of sundowners always make them easier to see! Outside is a small lap pool overlooking the beach, or if that's too energetic, head down to the cellar and enjoy some wine tasting.

Rooms
5 twin/double rooms in total, each with stunning views and a nice beachy, airy feel.

Activities
St Francis Bay area is a mecca for surfers and beach-goers, the long white powder sand stretches as far as the eye can see.

A new Jack Nicklaus golf course is in the process of being built in St Francis Bay, but the recently upgraded 18 hole links-style course is of a very high quality with stunning sea views.

Don't miss a boat trip along the canals that wind through this picturesque thatched roof town, a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
