The Villa: Utmost private, romantic, old-style living, spacious, tucked away under the Milkwoods. A KolKol Hot Fire Tub overlooking the ocean, beach and lagoon is available. (extra fee per session). Own little beach at the Lagoon/Beach area! Bath in the forest! The Beach Villa not to be by elderly couples with walking disabilities or guest looking for a modern look.

Veiled by a grove of ancient Milkwoods, the Beach Villa's distinctive old-world elegance and opulent chivalry invokes a sense of royalty. Secreted away from the trappings of the modern age, this private sanctuary is the ultimate place to retreat and rejuvenate. Beach view only from the outside balcony and view to the lagoon, beach and mountain range at your private little beach- a few meters away from your villa. Enjoy a sensual signature Milk Bath beneath a canopy of branches, bird watch from your personal beach, unwind with a pampering massage or peaceful hammock nap within the fairytale forest glen. A KolKol Hot Fire tub - overlooking the spot where the ocean and the river meets is available.
Perfect for ocean lovers, the beautifully appointed Beach Suite affords panoramic views of the mountain, lagoon and sea from a majestic wooden deck, promising breathtaking champagne sunsets in the Jacuzzi.

Superbly situated, Kennedy's Beach Villa perfectly combines convenient proximity to a host of local attractions with utmost privacy, allowing guests access to the best both worlds have to offer.

26 guests' feedbackThis was truly amazing. The location is just magnificent and we were able to bring our dogs with us and there was ample room. It really felt like we wanted to stay longer. The owners are very nice and accommodating. And James is a true gem. He made us feel very welcome. Thank you for showing us what true hospitality is all about!
Very good service, very nice location. Sufficient and spacious facilities and a lovely deck to sit on.
The location of the guesthouse is perfect. The facilities are of high quality and the hostess very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the 12 nights there with our two little boys.
Equipped kitchen was helpful! Room very spacious!
We had a stunning room with amazing views and especially loved the Jacuzzi. Our host was wonderful and we would love to visit again.
I will use this facility again in the future.

It was absolutely magical! I will definitely go again! It was the perfect romantic setting that I wanted and James was absolutely terrific with his service! Quite and peaceful romantic private getaway! The best views from the jacuzzi! Was just stunning! Love it, thank you so much.
James and Ymile were very friendly and helpful. Wonderfully relaxing with a beautiful view.
The owner took very good care of us.
I wish I can tell you this stay was worth it, but unfortunately for what you pay it’s honestly not. Hidden costs to heat up the jacuzzi is ridiculous. The people that run the place are very nice and helpful. For the price you would think it would stand out, but in the end you’ll just regret the cost.
Kennedys is an incredibly beautiful place with a view like few where we could calmly watch the whales! James, our butler was always there to attend to our every need and hostess made us feel very much at home. It is a special place that creates special experiences.
Very friendly and warm welcome from James! He was very helpful with everything we needed! Clean and very nice room and bathroom. You can hear the sea from the room - very calming! Nice view from the deck overlooking the beach and the Jacuzzi was a bonus! It was a wonderful weekend - we will be back!
We stayed in the Beach Villa unit. The unit was luxurious and comfortable with extras that made it special. The person who received us was friendly and helpful.
Kennedy's is fantastic. People very helpful. The abnormal weather and high rainfall, was of course our biggest disappointment and we were forced to spend more time than normal inside the unit and we noticed a bunch of small things. The great amenities and facilities need serious maintenance. Yes, I expected more from unity, but was not disappointed. While the idea of old decor is great, a more modern touch might help. I did expect full breakfast to be included and not the R200 coupon per couple, which is only partial payment for a medium breakfast.

We had an amazing experience! The room was pristine, the location superb and the hosts were amazing! Thank you.
The trees provide coolness and tranquility with a variety of birds that provide companionship. The beach and restaurant are a short walk away and coastal walks offer access to neighboring beaches. James is extremely helpful and attentive to detail.
Beautiful view of sea and river from deck. Beautiful clean room with great bathroom. Great service. Breakfast right on the beach, what more could one want? Kennedys is that place to stay in Onrus. Truly a getaway we will never forget. Great! 5 star! Thank you Ymile for sharing such a gem with travelers!
It was very special. My husband and I celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary there. Romantic with the Jacuzzi on the deck with a beautiful sea view! It doesn't just look idyllic in the photos, it sure was! Very friendly and helpful hostess. Thank you Ymile for the wonderful 2 days!
Very neat and clean. Host is extremely friendly. Quiet and peaceful. Would've just liked to be closer to the beach like it shows on the photos.
Beautiful accommodation. Very spacious.
My wife and I had the time of our lives at Kennedys. Unbelievable atmosphere if you need to relax, will definitely be back.
The Jacuzzi is definitely the best and worth while.
The Villa is not at all what is depicted. There is no sea view, the garden is neglected and the braai area is dirty. The Villa itself is only average with a very small bathroom. Might be acceptable at 50% of the rate.
Fantastic. Definitely worth visiting Kennedy's.
