This is a small (just two rooms) personal, friendly and involving B&B � and I mean B&B in the proper sense where you share the house with your hosts. (Both rooms have their own separate entrances, mind you, if you want to slip about more furtively.) The patio (for breakfasts, garden bird-watching or reading) has long views out to sea and it�s only a short walk to the beach and the lagoon, presumably where you will want to spend at least some of your time. To this end Al and Clo have all beach necessities at the ready � umbrellas, towels and the like.

The larger of the two rooms was my favourite (and also the more expensive � my wife will tell you this is typical) with sea views through a huge window and anti-glare solar blinds. There is seagrass on floors, plenty of immaculate seaside white in walls and towels and colour is added in the form of fresh flowers. The Scheffers take the greatest care of their guests. Fridge facilities provided. Great restaurants within walking distance. Whales and dolphins in season. Closed Mid-Dec - mid-Jan and either June or July. Enquire first!
