Located 600 metres from Frank's Beach, Residence William French offers an infinity pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

We felt so welcomed and spoiled! It was an absolute treat to be so incredibly well looked after. I highly recommend having dinner at the residence, William is an incredibly talented cook, and he makes a fantastic G&T! Nothing was too much trouble for him or the staff and we felt completely at home. I will definitely return!

    This is one of the best places I've stayed at. Everything was incredible from the greeting by the lovely host to the surrounding areas (3-minute walk to the penguins). You could cook in the apartment and it was brilliantly equipped. The terrace was stunning with great views (photos attached). The bedrooms were extremely quiet with blackout curtains and massive comfy beds. The bath was great too. Highly recommend.
