"With just 30 hippy-chic cottages in secluded Treasure Beach, Jake's is a member of Bespoke Hotels, a trendy, luxury hotel group." Full review
Lonely Planet "A fantastical mix of rooms, suites, cottages and huts decked out like a fairy-tale illustration book with references to Greece and North Africa...the place has grown in dribs and drabs."
Travel + Leisure "An utterly funky hotel overlooking Treasure Beach on the secluded south coast, Jake’s lives and breathes eccentric, from the free-form swimming pool to the multiculti, hippie-chic décor." Full review
