Beautiful quiet place. Garden is nice and one can rewind. Close to the N2 road, and close to shopping amenities.

The Hosts were welcoming and friendly. The Gueshouse is situated in a safe and beautiful garden with a luxury swimming and lounge areas. Our suites were huge with dining area, kitchen, lounge, patio and bedroom with shower. Modern and inviting. Everything you can think of was there znd if not the hosts were ready to help you. Loved the breakfast. We would definitely go back and can truly recommend this guesthouse. Thank for a lovely stay. Nadja

A beautiful place and nice people are the main ingredients for a perfect stay in CTown. Thanks to Claudia and Marc. Actually, this is what you need to know about Southern Cross Lodge, but.... I need 200 characters to post this comment, and I don't like redundancy. F

Nice room, large, clean, balcony. Lovely bathroom Limited view to the ocean. WiFi too slow for Netflix or teams/zoom meeting. As an IT-manager we measured the speed and it was not sufficient. Smoking is permitted on your terrace or balcony. So if you don’t smoke, you have a problem and have to sit inside. Any comments are not appreciated by the management and will be answered with ‘rewrite your review or we’ll make sure you’ll be blacklisted at Booking and any other hotel/b&b in the area’. Ridiculous! Comments are meant to help future guests and the management for improvement.
