“The Thatch Hide's location, near Nahoon Beach and local golf courses, strikes me as its strongest suit. For families or golf enthusiasts seeking a casual base in East London, it presents an option with outdoor BBQ facilities and views of the Quinera river. However, some reports suggest inconsistencies in cleanliness should be considered.”
