Second time visiting and loved it. What a great little cottage to just relax and de-stress in. Everything I needed was provided for even during load shedding, wifi was still available. So peaceful and quiet and close to everything. Michelle the host was amazing My home away from home, lots of memories made here❤️🥰 Will definitely come again and again

Everything about the house, location and amenities. The house is as in the pictures. Spacious, warm, there is just a lot to say about the house. Martin, the host, is very welcoming and always ready to help with anything. A bubbly character also. Strode house is the best, must say.

I travelled with family. We booked Penthouse 6. It’s neat, spacious, lovely and luxurious. Clean linen. The staff is amazing. Amarille is an excellent host. She welcomed us and took us through the finer details upon checking in. She even recommended good restaurants nearby. A crib was arranged for my baby. She went out of her way to courier an item we forgot at the establishment. Beacon House has a generator, so no need to worry about loadshedding. It’s a place to be! Did I mention it’s luxurious!

Wow Maria and Martin were incredible hosts. The pictures don’t do the space justice. I stayed there alone as a single woman and felt very safe. Everything is modern and charming. The decor is personalized and art deco/mid century modern which was so special to experience and appreciate. The Japanese’s garden in the front with beautiful natural light, the office area, the fireplace, the bedrooms and back yard all amazing! Bed was comfy and warm with electric blankets. It’s two blocks from the water and I walked the island every day exploring new paths and intuitively finding my way back to the house. There are 3 restaurants/coffee shops 5min walk. Loved being on Leisure island and staying on this beautiful home.

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    Lovely cottage for a couple. Unbelievably well equipped with loads of storage space. Modern bathroom and cozy lounge area with TV. The small outside garden is lovely, lots of trees and birdsong. Quality cast aluminium table and chairs and two big gas plates embedded in a stainless steel table for cooking. There also is a portable braai.Lovely hosts
