This was by far the best property of our trip. An absolutely beautiful place to stay with excellent hosts. By far the best choices for breakfast. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay at Tidal Retreat. The welcome from Jan and Anneke was very warm and they were incredibly helpful with local knowledge. Our room was most comfortable, great bed and wonderful shower! The property is close to a lovely lagoon with nice views. Our hosts even called us a taxi to go for dinner. The property is located in a lovely quiet area near a golf course, but very close to the amenities and places to explore. Highly recommended.
