Chicke Unterkunft mit schönem Blick auf die Bucht

Unterkunft befindet sich in einer eher wohlhabenden Lage mit schönem Blick auf die Bucht. Die Stadt erreicht man nur mit dem Auto. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich, die Zimmer mit hohem Standard, ebenso die Poollandschaft und der Garten. Frisches Frühstück mit grosser Auswahl an Eierspeisen.

Gute Unterkunft

Wir hatten durch die Bilder hier auf Expedia eine sehr große Erwartung, zumal es der Abschluss unserer Südafrika-Reise sein sollte. Als wir dann ankamen, wurden unsere Erwartungen nicht ganz erfüllt. Die Unterkunft ist gut, aber nicht überragend. Wir hatten mit unserem Zimmer wahrscheinlich noch Glück (Nummer 1), weil wir einen Teil des Blickes, der beworben wird, auch tatsächlich hatten. Den schönsten Blick, der den Fotos entspricht, hat man sicherlich oben aus den Zimmern mit Balkon, die sind aber leider privat.... und wenn man Pech hat, liegt das Zimmer weiter hinten raus und man hat gar keinen Blick bzw. eher einen Blick aufs Hinterland und nicht Richtung Meer. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig ausgestattet. Wie gesagt, alles gut, aber nicht außergewöhnlich. Der Pool ist mini und eher Deko ;-), eine etwas größere Badewanne. Aber das war uns nicht wichtig, wir waren sowieso mehr in der Gegend unterwegs und das Wetter war nicht so heiß.

Great hotel. Superior staff and owner.

Good, safe location away from city center. Karen was outstanding and very helpful to make sure our family with 3 children were comfortable and well taken care of on our short trip from the US. She's very helpful, organized, and caring! Highly recommend if looking to stay away from the city.

Wonderful stay at Blue Horizon guest house!

We highly recommend this guest house. The owner (Karen) went out of her way to be accommodating, nothing was too much bother, we stayed there for 11 nights. The breakfast was great and set you up for the day, Karen was there to greet you every morning for breakfast, she was always smiling and happy and eager to ensure you were happy with your stay! Thoroughly recommend this place :)
