Location location the wind blew into your room, it was fantastic I loved it. Over the years I read about the place and it was rather negative, and I was very skepitical of staying there, but seemed the reviews where incorrect, One of the top places that I stayed at. Other unit was in camps [ay but it closed 30 years ago.
security was fingerprint, which was a bit difficult at times. but very safe unlike other budget accomodations where you had to wait for the desk person to open, and don't, and would get attacked, so end of the day the finger print works the best!!!

Great location right on the coastline and perfectly located to so many cafes and little shops to browse, all within walking distance!
There was construction in the area when we stayed so is was not as great a view as expected, but that is bot African Soul Surfers’ problem! Just deducted from the experience slightly
