Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We loved the garden setting and the privacy of the cottage..The beds are comfortable - my priority ! Our hosts, Margie and Christopher, were phenomenal: they are friendly and always at hand to advise on activities to help you maximise your experience and they are uber attentive to your needs. The beach is a stone’s throw away, there’s a local park where crafters set up and families picnic. A beach bar is Spoils like receiving a Welcome Lindt choc, a well-stocked coffee bar, having your braai area prepared, bringing in another fan just because we commented on the humidity, checking in to assess whether our happiness meter was still at full blast etc - made our stay a good experience. We adored them- they know how to be professional yet warm. We enjoyed our 4 days there.

Negative: Nothing to Moan about.

Summary: Marlin Cottage is a worthwhile getaway cottage.
