All our suites, self catering or overnight, family size or smaller, are all ensuite, with comfortable beds, fresh linen and towels, own entrances, with tea and coffee facilities. The rooms are personally designed, each with their own character, and a simple nautical feel. Welcome, and relax ……..

Accommodation: Stay Awhile

Newly renovated with a tiled roof we have gone back to the “beginning” of St Francis Bay with the rustic feel of fisherman cottages.

Copper pipes are exposed against bagged white walls, with sea shells in the plaster, beautifully tiled floors the colour of  beach sand and the relaxed feel of St Francis Bay.
