Set on the beachfront, this property features a shared lounge. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, luggage storage space and organising tours for guests.

We had the pleasure of spending one night at Residence William French in March. From the moment we arrived Primrose made us feel at home and did everything in her power to make our stay special. Dinner was a very romantic affair and the food was excellent. The Blue Room was stunning, every piece of furniture bespoke, large spacious bed with luxurious linen and the most magnificent views!

    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.
