The location and the limited number of students.
I suggest spending more time on important topics like grammar. Changing every day doesn't help, at least in my case.

The way to and from school on the beach was great. It's really beautiful.
If someone doesn't feel comfortable at the school, just let them out of the contract. In other schools, this is possible and it helps everyone. Money is important but not always. The school looks like it's in the 90s and is no longer up to date.

Friendliness, well organized and first-class teachers
It is a very small and very familiar school with high quality standards. The average age is slightly higher and therefore perfect for Business Courses. You felt welcome from the first day, well cared for and excellent care in all matters. The lessons are excellent. (Thanks to Steven and Janeen) The student accommodation is also excellent. Close to school, 2x / week cleaning like a hotel service.

All the staff was very friendly and eager to help.
The level among my classmates was too divergent. The teacher focused too much on the weakest in the class. I raised that issue and it got better then.

My teacher, one of the best English teachers I have ever had.
I would like to point out, as a negative note, the high percentage of German students, more than 50%. Sometimes it seemed we were in Germany rather than in South Africa.
