- "It was private and intimate. I'm American and came to South Africa to get married to my South African fiance. We got married yesterday and I wanted the perfect honeymoon suite. Two weeks ago I started looking for the perfect honeymoon suite to surprise my new wife but I dont know anything about locations in South Africa. lol. I wanted beachfront view, dog friendly, and a hot tub. So I just googled those filter options. I looked all day but couldnt find anything. The next day I found Kennedy Beach Villa, the only place that had those 3 features. So I booked the Villa. It was the most beautiful place I've ever been too. It was as if we had an entire resort to ourselves. James the overseer was there to cater to our every need. We plan to take many more trips to Kennedy's. "
