Lovely Accommodations

I stayed in the Sunrise room, which was splendid. The large windows allowed for amazing views of the ocean and provided a perfect backdrop to my relaxing retreat. The decor was tasteful and the space was designed for comfort. I felt at home immediately and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Refreshing Pool Area

I spent some wonderful afternoons by the infinity pool, which provided a relaxing atmosphere to unwind. Even when it was a bit chilly, it was lovely to sit by the poolside and enjoy the views. The outdoor lounge area was perfect for a peaceful read or casual chats with fellow guests.

Secure Parking Experience

I was thrilled with the secure guest parking at Aqua Terra. Being within a gated compound made me feel safe leaving my car while I explored the local area. It was also conveniently located to easily access my room, which was a huge plus during my stay.

I had an incredible experience at Aqua Terra Boutique Guesthouse! The location offers breathtaking views that simply can't be captured in photos, and Garth and Natalie are the most welcoming hosts. The service was exceptional, particularly when they went above and beyond to clean our muddy car. The only downside was the steep hill leading up to the guesthouse, but it was worth it for the tranquility and stunning surroundings.

My stay at Aqua Terra Boutique Guesthouse was truly memorable. The hosts, Garth and Natalie, made us feel like we were among friends, providing amazing service and recommendations. The location offered breathtaking views, and I loved being able to interact with the penguins before the crowds arrived. However, the steep drive up to the guesthouse was a bit challenging, and I could hear footsteps from the room early in the morning. Overall, it was an incredible experience that set a high standard for future stays.

Aqua Terra Boutique Guesthouse offers spectacular views and outstanding hospitality from Garth and Natalie, making it feel like home away from home. The steep hill may pose a driving challenge, but the breathtaking vistas are truly worth it. I had the pleasure of enjoying delicious, cooked-to-order breakfasts and experienced exceptional service when staff went above and beyond to clean our car. It was an unforgettable stay, but the location might not suit everyone due to its incline.
