Guest Reviews
- Grandjean (8/5): - 3 mn de l aéroport, idéal pour prendre un vol intérieur.
Quartier calme, la gentillesse de l accueil. Rien
- Aurélie (10/5): Superbe et de bons conseils ! - Très bien situé proche de l’aéroport pour notre vol tôt le matin. L’hôte était très accueillant et chaleureux, et nous a partagé de nombreux conseils, notamment sur les très bons restaurants du coin. Un grand merci ! /
- Irene (10/5): -
- Pulou (10/5): Court mais excellent séjour - Très bien placé
L’hôte est très accueillant et disponible
Un plaisir !
- Thomas (10/5): Waren sehr zufrieden mit allen. - Waren nur für eine Nacht. Sehr schöner Poolbereich .Top Lage zum. Flughafen in nur 3 Minuten. Sehr nette Gastgeber und saubere Zimmer. Frühstück hatten wir nicht, da wir schon um 6.00 Uhr raus sind.
- Warwick (1/5): - Advertised that you could check in after 7. As soon as we booked we were told we couldn’t and we didn’t get a refund. Booking.com didn’t help either. Very poor
- Pien (1/5): Horrible ex - Nothing Dear Carl,
You let us walk at night time from the airport to your lodge. You knew port elizabeth is a bad neighbourhood to walk at night. It was especially dangerous because we were tourists, with out suitcases!!!! When we called you to come pick us up from the airport, you simply told us to download the “uber app”
Thanks for the horrible experience, we had a shit time in port elizabeth all thanks to you!!
Hope to never see you again,
Jethro
- Michael (8/5): In Verbindung mit einem Flug empfehlenswert, insbesondere wg dem Gastgeber - Gastgeber überaus freundlich. Gute Tipps zum Essen. Hat uns Tisch reserviert und eine Flasche Wein kostenlos besorgt. Half uns bei der notwendigen Einrichtung von Uber App. Zimmer zweckmäßig für Flughafennähe. Trotzdem netter Pool. Nicht gut in der Gegend ab spätnachmittag zu Fuss unterwegs zu sein.

- Patrick (10/5): -

- Pascale (10/5): La plus belle et la plus accueillante - La plus belle et la plus accueillante des guesthouse dans un quartier tranquille
Les chambres sont délicieusement décorées, avec une très grande salle de bain, la véranda où l’on prendra son petit déjeuner (copieux) avec vue sur la piscine, est aménagée avec goût et sent la cire, Avec un petit coin lecture confortable.
Le jardin vous tend les bras pour moment de détente avant de se baigner dans une belle piscine très propre à l’eau cristalline. De belles places de parc.
Notre hôte est absolument charmant, discret et de bons conseils pour trouver de bons restaurants ou endroits à visiter.
Je recommande cet endroit chaleureusement
- Karoline (10/5): Exceptional -
- kklisene (10/5): Memorable stay in PE - I had an exceptional experience at Amani Guest House with the owner and staff very friendly and helpful. The owner of the Guest house was very helpful in recommending the best restaurant around and the best places to see during the stay. In my opinion that kind of service is exceeding my expectations.
- nonelwanondlazi (10/5): The guest house was absolutely amazing the staff up to management - Great guest house and amazingly friendly people.the break fast was great the rooms were cleaned everyday
- Adriaan (8/5): Very good -
- Stephen (7/5): Brief but great staff - Staff and game drives Food hygiene and variety.
Day trippers make the place seem odd
Stargazing should include telescope not marshmallows
- James (10/5): - Karl is an excellent host. The property is well maintained and very clean. He goes the extra mile for his guests. This has become the guest house for all my trips to PE
- Alexandra (7/5): Good - Clean and very convenient for the airport. Host happy to help with dinner reservations Noise travelled between rooms
- James Anthony (10/5): - Carl was an excellent host. Room was clean, clean, clean. Very well maintained
- Funiwe (9/5): Superb - The furnishes. Nothing
- Robert (8/5): - Etwas in die Jahre gekommen..
- Elizabeth (9/5): Perfection overnighter for early morning airport access. - Spotlessly clean in perfect location for airport access. A great overnight choice for early morning flight. Our host was able to help us with restaurant advice and airport transfer in early morning hours. Lovely garden area with poolside sitting.
- Godwin (8/5): Very good -
- Christian (10/5): In Port Elisabeth? Stay here! - Perfect hotel for a stopover at the airport for the onward journey to Johannesburg or the Garden Route.
The rooms are cute and the bathrooms large. Perfect water pressure and nice warm water. The garden is a real oasis with lots of details and love, which actually deserves a longer stopover.
But the real highlight is the owner Carl. A very likeable and educated man. Listen to him and be sure to ask for his travel recommendations. They are gold and will add at least 5 more points to your trip!
In Port Elisabeth? Stay here!
- Igor (8/5): Informative stay close to the airport - The location is very close to the airport but apparently not in a safe neighbourhood, so that one cannot just walk to the accommodation.
The host was very welcoming and helpful, with a lot of advice for my trip. Made good breakfast also.
The rooms were clean. I stayed on a cool spring night and found the stay rather cold. The heating is small and probably insufficient.
After checkout I wasn’t welcome to retrieve my luggage after the rental pick-up, since the host had to leave.
- 796garry (10/5): Amani Guesthouse - Easy Accommodation - Amani is a great place to stay for business or private travel. The rooms, gardens and general facility is super clean and welcoming. Carl is a great host and nothing is ever a problem for him to assist you with.
- Laurentius (8/5): Perfect place close to the airport - Close to the airport, this was for us the reason for booking. Carl is a nice host, he advised us a good restaurant. Nothing, all was good.
- warrenc121318 (10/5): Excellent - Amani Guest Lodge is an amazing place, especially Carl the host. Perfect stay and will definitely recommend Amani Guest Lodge to friends, family and work colleagues.
- Aurelie (9/5): Perfect one-night stay by the airport in PE and wonderful owner - The accommodation is perfect for one night if you need to stay close to the airport and you have a car. The room is a bit small but very cosy with a large bed, heating and a bathroom with all necessary amenities. There’s also a tea station in the room on the desk.
The highlight of this property is its owner, who is extremely welcoming, full of great restaurant recommendations and loves to engage in conversation with you on many topics. We learned a lot from him about life in PE and the animal parcs around SA. Thank you for such a pleasurable stay! In the evening some youth decided to start racing their cars on the street and it was pretty loud, but it didn’t last until too late in the night.
- Roy (10/5): - Kindness and effectiveness.
- Lindy (8/5): Very good -
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - Carl was a superb host. The room was clean and comfortable and conveniently closed to the airport for our early flight

- jandaniel99 (10/5): Serene stop over - Just a one night stop for an early morning flight from Port Elizabeth. What a fabulous welcome from Carl, the owner, who made us feel at home straight away. Very clean and comfortable with a lovely garden and pool area. Carl reccommended a fantastic steak house close by too. Top notch.
- estrom171498 (10/5): Clean and safe next to airport - Lovely B&B very close by the airport, no chance to be late to your flight! Secluded place with a lot of greenery and a pool, which means you don't really notice the airport and the busy streets around.
- Martyn (10/5): Really happy with my stay, owner was lovely too, - Stunning guest house. Amazing for the price ❤️ Was all great

Thank you for everything!

Love the bird life in the area.
- Andri (10/5): Comfortable stay close to airport. - Comfortable room.
Gracious host.
Safe parking.
Great location close to airport. N/A
- davidhZ7771UY (8/5): Great Location and Excellent Value for Money - We stayed here for one night prior to an early flight to Johannesburg. This boutique guest lodge is literally 5 minutes drive from the airport.
The proprietor Carl was charming and went out of his way to ensure we knew how to find the airport. He also gave us good recommendations for somewhere to get a beer and snack at lunchtime and a nice evening meal, all within 10 mins drive from the Guest Lodge.
The accommodation was comfortable and clean. I can’t comment on breakfast as we had to leave too early to sample it. However, Carl and his adorable dog “Buddy” were up early to see us off.
I have no hesitation in recommending a short stay here.
- Dominic (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elise (10/5): beautiful oasis nearby the airport, very clean! Very friendly owner, who took al the time to give us recommendations abo -

- karenlisa2023 (10/5): A lovely oasis in Port Elizabeth! - The host, Carl could not have been more welcoming and helpful!! Gorgeous garden setting, room very comfortable and spacious. Room very clean (could have used some wash clothes-or maybe I just missed them) and shower had great water pressure (fantastic after almost 24 hours of flying). Carl’s cooking skills are excellent (I almost burned the place down toasting my bread)! 😜. Price great and Carls knowledge of So. Africa an added bonus!!
- Frauke (10/5): Exceptional - Nice comfortable rooms and very friendly staff.
- Patryk (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patryk (10/5): Clean and beautiful - It was a very clean and special place. The lobby as well as room have a very home atmosphere and are beautifully decorated. The receptionist provided us with a lot of information about our future travels. There is not much to not like. Everything was there and the only problem we had was with load shedding.
- mmilbo577349 (8/5): Great airport location - We stayed here one night before our flight from port Elizabeth very convenient for the airport and Col the owner made us feel very welcome and advised us well on local restaurants. Didn’t have breakfast due to early flight
- alublast (10/5): Great Stay - Very neat and clean. Great location close to the airport, we as a family had a lovely stay. Very proffessional and friendly on arrival. Would most definitely stay at Amani Guest Lodge again in the future.
- Mtinara (7/5): Good -
- Kerrie (8/5): safe, lovely accomodation and an easy hop, skip and jump to the airport - beautiful gardens and terrific host. We didn’t have time for breakfast but the guest house was lovely.
- Mara (1/5): Bad - It was close to the airport We had such a bad experience with this Guest Lodge.
The owner was super rude! We called him after 19.00 from another place to tell him that we are arriving late (we are traveling by Bus and have no Sim Card). He was not amused about that, he also hang up on us twice while we were asking questions.
After we arrived he only let us check in after paying an additional 500 rand fee. We didn’t want to pay such a high fee
but since we already paid the accommodation in advance we still wanted to get the service (one night) we paid for.
After all, there was no other choice than to pay the fee. Otherwise he wouldn’t let us stay and we would’ve been two girls in the dark without an accommodation.
Furthermore, he made “the late check in fee” look like it was the payment for the stay on the receipt!
So we definitely wouldn’t recommend to stay there. There is also no AC - it was super hot in the room.
- Andri (9/5): Great location close to the airport - Great location close to the airport - a 5-minute drive
Comfortable bed
Great facilities
Beautiful setting N/A

- Q6737UNchadm (10/5): Good Service - What a great host! So easy to communicate with, and the place is always clean and tidy. Would recommend to any other guest to book at this property at any time. Carl is a very good talker always going beyond his way to accommodate you. Another plus he has a classic car collection and has it on the property.

Clean, comfortable and very professionally owned and managed by Carl. Superb host, happy to assist with any arrangements for restaurants and places of interest. The place to stay in PE
- Francois (9/5): well situated near airport - well looked after facility
centrally located openview pay per view
room was smelling a bit stuffy
- 610wolfgangb (10/5): Very nice location for Stop-Over - This is a very nice location for a short stay, especially if you do not want to travel further after arriving at PE airport. Very close to the airport it seems like an oasis. Carl has been super-friendly and helpful.

- Lee-ann (8/5): Very good -
- Gezani (10/5): Exceptional -
- ej16521 (10/5): A lovely place to stay - I chose Amani due to its proximity to Port Elizabeth Airport, price and good reviews. Carl was lovely and welcoming and made a delicious home made breakfast. I was very sad to hear about Buddy after him being mentioned in other reviews.
The property was gated so made me feel very safe (as a young solo female traveller) and the room was very comfortable and clean. Lovely to see so much bird life coming through the garden. The wifi was good and toiletries and towels provided. Good amenities close by.
Thanks for a lovely visit and will definitely recommend to others! :)

- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Carl was a friendly and welcoming host, comfortable and clean accommodation and lovely homemade breakfast.

- numsass (2/5): BAD - It was a very bad experience,i can never recommend to anyone in actual fact im intending to report it to tourism assosiation.Serving same breakfast for the whole weekend,have to use buckets to flush our waste and drilling early hours of the morning without our consent,invading our peaceful sleep.
