The guest house management and staff are fully dedicated to making your stay easy and comfortable, offering the natural and peaceful surroundings of Fook Island as an escape from the fast pace of everyday life. 

This legendary house was originally designed in 1939 by Norman Eaton for world-famous South African artist Walter Battiss. Rescued from demolishment, the house was renovated in the 1980s and underwent further renovations during 2020.
