A wonderfull gem overlooking Jeffreys Bay
On our way thru the garden route we stayed one night at this wonderful little B&B. The location would also be very nice for a longer stay. The service was great. The room had a really nice view overlooking the bay. The WIFI-connection was fast and stable. We would definitely stay again on the next trip.

Relaxing, comfortable, friendly place
We had a wonderful 2 night stay, and everyone in our family wanted to stay longer. This property is actually three buildings. The main house functions as a typical bnb, with a few larger rooms, shared spaces and an awesome breakfast. The house next door is also part of the business, with a couple more rooms. Finally, there is a house across the street that's rented out as a single unit. We booked one of the family suites in the main house, but were bumped across the street to the entire house. What a blessing! For the price of a room, we had a three bedroom house with a huge deck overlooking the ocean. It was well equipped and beautifully furnished. Sharon and her husband were also great. This is a relaxing place in a residential area, not a place for those who want to party or be in the heart of the action. Finally, for the price, it is incredible value.

A little gem
We were welcomed warmly by the owner and shown to the fisherman's studio which was extremely comfortable with all the utensils needed for a s/c few day stay. The bed was the firmest I have ever stayed on and my back greatly appreciated it. We had a slight issue with the hot water in the shower going from cold to boiling and it was tricky to find a happy medium. The home made cookies were a delight. I would happily stay here again.

Great view, great value
I booked the ground-floor room and we were instead put in the top floor, with a great view. We also only paid for the room not breakfast, but had breakfast delivered anyway – a generous selection of muffins, croissants, fruit salad, yogurt. Included (not a bonus) was a generous bag of home-style cookies as well as the basics for making tea and instant coffee. Without the free upgrades, it would have been good value for the price. With the extras, great value. The only minus: no off-street parking, but the area is really quiet so it is not a real problem.

Great hotel. Would definitely corm here again
We did spend 1 night at this bed and breakfast on our way to Addo. We had such a lovely time. The rooms are big, the neighborhood is quiet overlooking the bay but most of all our host was really nice. We had one of the best breakfast of South Africa. Try her homemade croissants, they are to die for! We would definitely stay here again.

Vi fick ett helt hus för oss själva då det blivit någon form av dubbelbokning! Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam ägarinna som ordnade detta! Hon gav oss bra tips om restauranger och sevärdheter. Klassisk frukost som var kanon.
