“Can't wait to go back!”

Reviewed 14 Oct 2018

I recently spent a short stay at the newly named August Beach House which is situated on the beach of Weligama Bay. Such a lovely house in a great location. Michelle was great with the last minute booking and I think the combination of lovely staff, stylish decor and one of the South's best surfing and swimming beaches makes this house unmissable. Can highly recommend.
