"Very noisy place. Guests up all hours of the night, doors slamming, loud talking. When do these people sleep? If you dont mind a wakefull night and joining the gospel singalong at 5 am, yes really, than this is the place for you.
Rooms were kept clean, and its cheap.
I can't recommend it"

We stayed on Ratau in Dec for 8 nights and loved it, our house Pig was the furthest away but we thought the most beautiful.
You wake up to a stunning secluded beach of your own, the house was well decorated, spacious, with lots of various seats to rest on and only 10 min walk to the Yacht Club.
Staff are so attentive and make your feel very welcome, reception are great at arranging all your onsite and offsite trips.
Enjoyed the entertainment put on ensuring guests learn about the...

We booked this location for 2 x nights in Oct as a group of 7. 2 x grand parents, 2 x adults, and 3 kids (Ages 8, 7 and 5).
We opted for 3 seperate rooms next to each other and it could not have been a better scenario although I am aware that there is a family type room.
The rooms are very adequate and although no aircons were in place, the temperature with the sea breeze was great (our kids used the blankets even).
The lodge is low key and immediately relaxing. It is a small-ish resort, at...
