Tourist Guide

An exceptional business that cares about the great whites.
One of the most amazing sunrises that I've ever seen. On our way to cage dive with the great whites!

This was a lovely property with a huge bed and beautiful views over the Atlantic. We stayed a single night in order to do a shark dive, it was ideally placed 1 km away from Great White Shark Tours and the host was very helpful

My family and I celebrated the week of our mom and grandmothers 88th here. The stairs were easy for her and the view magnificent. Excellent braai and wonderful collection of fine wine glasses. We LOVED It.
