Marylou, Ireland

Breakfast very poor cheap sliced pan no other bread. Processed cheese wrapped we call them easy singles at home. Fruit an insult tinned peaches and tinned pineapple and portion so small in a glass. Dogs poo outside our bedroom in the morning there are two dogs there one of them jumped into bed beside our son in his room. Body lotion watered down. Our first night in SA and we found it v disappointing

Convenient for NMMU
We selected this hotel because it is very close to NMMU where we attended a function. The booking through Trivago was easy and worked well. We were welcomed when we arrived and shown to our room. The hotel is in a delightful setting with a well maintained garden. Parking was secure and we had our own remote control for the gate. There was a full and delicious breakfast served with a smile.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Robert. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Please do visit again :-)

5 Sterne für ein Hotel, an dem man warmherzig empfangen und einzigartig verwöhnt wird. Alida und Mathias haben ihre Leidenschaft zum Beruf gemacht. Wer familiäre Atmosphäre mag, ist hier goldrichtig. Liebevoll gestaltete, große Zimmer. Top Hygiene, fantastisches englisches Frühstück frisch nach Wunsch zubereitet. Am Pool wurden wir mit einem guten Gläschen Wein verwöhnt. Wer ein Souvenir für die lieben Daheimgebliebenen oder sich selbst sucht, wirft einen Blick auf Mathias selbst entworfene Schmuckkollektion. Außergewöhnlich, zu günstigen Preisen. Wir lieben dieses Guesthouse und freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen.

Aconchegante e simpático. Confortável.
Lugar bonito, decorado com bom gosto e capricho. Pátio com privacidade. Camas muito confortáveis, quarto amplo, pequena cozinha pratica e funcional. Café da manhã muito gostoso, o suficiente. Atendimento pelos próprios donos, aliás, é uma casa que foi transformada em "pousada". Tudo muito organizado e limpo. Destaque para a simpatia dos donos e atendimento. Adoramos. Pela localização precisa de carro pra se locomover pela cidade.

Vi kom med bil och blev mycket förtjusta i Bayside guest house. En helt fantastisk liten oas, med rena fräscha rum, alla egna ingångar i små egna hus. En fin liten pool, bra parkering, gångavstånd till strandpromenad, god frukost, vänlig personal. Personligt bemötande.

Wunderschönes Gästehaus in toller Lage
Das Gästehaus liegt in einer gut situierten Wohngegend und ist dennoch erschwinglich. Die Eigentümerin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und wird nach eigenen Wünschen zubereitet. Das Zimmer ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und verfügt über einen Kühlschrank, einen Wasserkocher und einen Fernseher. Das Bad ist neu und die Betten sind bequem. Von der Terrasse aus blickt man auf den Pool. Bis zur Promenade mit Restaurants und Bars sind es nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß oder mit dem Auto.

Nettes Gasthaus in ruhiger Lage
Die Anlage ist ruhig gelegen in einer Wohngegend im südlichen Summerstrand. Die Lage ist für Autofahrer ideal, nach PE sind es ca. 10 Minuten. Die Gegend ist gepflegt und sicher, der Strand ist in Gehreichweite. Das Auto wird sicher im abgesperrten Innenhof abgestellt. Die Anlage selbst wirkt gemütlich, gepflegt und hat einen familiären Charme. Die Unterkünfte sind im Bungalowstil und komfortabel groß. Die Einrichtung ist ebenfalls gepflegt und sauber. Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Als Ausflugsbasis für PE, Addo und die Strandlinie bis St. Francis optimal.
