We loved our stay at the home. It’s beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. The views are lovely and it was so nice to be so closer to the cliff paths and beach. Adding on the extra cleaning staff (who was lovely) made it a real stress free stay. Thank you R

Thank you for a great stay! What a lovely house in a lovely town!❤️ What an incredible stay at Firefly Villas. The house was beautiful, had everything you can imagine and more. Every bedroom had an ensuite, which was amazing, very chic interior and was spotless. The seperate smaller villa on property is great for teenage kids to have some privacy away from adults. <br/>The views are stunning of both mountains and sea. Within walking distance to centre of town, beaches. Coastal walks and golf course. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone who is looking for luxury accommodation but still a homely feel. 12/10 for sure! D

What a privilege to stay in such an incredible luxurious home. Magnificent sea and mountain views and access to the cliff paths just a step away. Well thought through accommodation with stylish and plush decor. Beautiful braai area upstairs with stunning views of the ocean and mountain.
Communication from the start was clear and everyone we dealt with was quick to respond and so friendly. Can highly recommend Firefly 👌
We will definitely be back.
