After8 B&B

8/10 Good
"A great location in Klein Bay, close to the harbor where the shark cage diving and whale watching boats depart. Short walk to a nice restaurant and small supermarket. Town is strategically located on the Danger Point Peninsula in the greater Overberg area of the Western Cape, with amazing sightseeing, food, wine, and many other experiences. Breakfast normally is available, but we decided instead to have it at the restaurant. Our host, Chris, was nice and gratious and provided us with the necessary plates and silverware to BBQ on the grill in the backyard. The apartment was basic but sufficient for our needs, with a fridge, toilet, shower, fan, closet, and three single beds. "
