Great West Coast getaway
Cedric Abrahams, South Africa
06 September 2011
Very pleasant environment and very helpful owners. If you have a family of four, and can afford it, the private apartment looks very nice. A well run establishment and an enjoyable stay.
Lovely stay
Sharon Malan, South Africa
05 September 2011
With 25 girls descending onto Thornbay with roaring bikes and four cars, we were all comfortably housed. Dinner and breakfast arrangements were made by Michelle and all had a fantastic stay! We will definitely be back!
