Budget Getaways Review
Let’s kick the ball into play with a guest comment that pretty much sums up Foot of Africa: “You couldn’t get any closer to the sea.” We'd agree - any closer and you're looking at seriously wet feet.
And that's what you're paying for here - slap-bang position on the tip of Africa and the bonus of an amazing tidal pool leading straight off your front lawn.
Looking at your bed for the weekend, this is a fairly simple B&B studio apartment suited to couples. The theme is distinctly 'seaside', with whitewashed timber floors, light tones and muted fabrics.
The double bedroom is open plan to a living area and is decked out with quality linen, and an ensuite bathroom with shower. Towels are provided. There's an additional outside shower for a post-sea swim rinse. From the bedoom and living area you've got great ocean views as well as some comfy couches, a screen and DVD player with a good choice of DVDs.
The kitchen is separate and has a dining table and chairs and is fully equipped for four, as well as having a washing machine and dishwasher.
There's a wooden decked courtyard with Weber braai and a gate that leads directly to the sea front and tidal pool. Off-street parking is available.
With rates nipping hard at the Budget Getaways ceiling, you can cut costs by skipping breakfast. However, we would be inclined to say, "What the heck", and indulge in a fine brekkie on the patio.
Our verdict: For a night or two at the very end of Africa, you don't come much closer to the water than this.
"Fabulous hospitality and friendliness! Stunning location."
