Fodor's Expert Review Parrot Cove Lodge

This small beachfront resort with rooms in earth tones arranged around a courtyard with a pool, is an attractive option if you don't need all the amenities of the larger resorts but want an excellent restaurant. The hotel and restaurant, expanded in 2016, are managed by Rob and Corrie Pronk. The restaurant, Chef Rob's Gourmet Cafe, is one of the best on the Southern Coast. Parrot Cove also has two two-bedroom units in a beach house next door.
