Great apartment in a perfect location. I was on my own, but this would have also been ideal for a family. There is a sauna and hot tub below. Well equipped kitchen. The lady at the reception was friendly and wonderfully helpful. She helped me to get my motorcycle into the garage. I hadn't heard of Henties Bay in the past, it turned out to be a brilliant seaside town for relaxing and walking.

Ms van den Berg received us the most warming and friendly way. And she comes to follow up every day if she can do anything more. She made our stay fantastic, and we will always be thankful to her care and friendliness. Location the best in town. Very clean, friendly workers, and let you feel welcome.

Beach view and we were able to speak to the owner who was very helpful and treated us like family. I would recommend to everyone who cares to listen. Very helpful and sincere.
