SUNBATHING: Be safe from the African Sun!

We recommend that you use proper sunbathing lotion during the summer time ,30+ to 50 + especially when your on the beach. The Sun is very harsh in South Africa. They don’t call it the African Sun for nothing! You can get sun burned very easily, very badly, especially if your skin is not use to our climate and you don’t take the right precaution. Be careful and use proper grade sunblock to protect yourself. Feel free to tan on our sun loungers outside in the garden area when you want, as you want, how you want, "be comfy its like home" if you want beach or pool towels ask at reception. Remember if you have tanning lotion on after tanning or been on the beach please wash off before getting into bed, it stains the linen.
