Guest Reviews

• Mohale (7/5): - Friendly staff who go all out to assist The food
• Thijs (9/5): - Het vriendelijke personeel en de locatie, paar minuten rijden naar de airport. We moesten 13:00u op de airport zijn. We hadden wel uitgecheckt om 10:00u, maar mochten tot vertrek gebruik maken van de faciliteiten van het hotel. Heel comfortabel! Niets!
• Jack (10/5): - n/a n/a
• Clayton130 (8/5): -
• Thanduxolo (5/5): -
• Lindi (8/5): - All good
• Narguroo (10/5): -
• Nonkqubela (9/5): - Everything from check-in to check-out,friendly staff,safety,location (the guest house is in a very quiet area),cleanliness &&&. They are not marketing or promoting the beauty salon that is in the premises.I will go back just to be pampered.
• Nqabakazi (10/5): Quick. - Clean. Tidy. Quiet. Nothing.
• Melikhaya (8/5): Nice, quiet and cosy - The room was spacious and comfortable exactly what we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer and maybe tried the pool. Overall a good quiet space I would recommend to friends and family I understand that the kitchen is shared, perhaps a microwave in the room would have been nice. The kettle and coffee in the room was a nice touch
• Linda (8/5): Perfekt für einen Städtetrip nach Port Elizabeth - - Super Lage in der Nähe zum Flughafen und dennoch zentrumsnah - Möglichkeiten Kaffee/Tee zuzubereiten - Frühstücksauswahl /
• Leo (5/5): -
• FREDERIC (10/5): -
• Jasmina (9/5): Great option in Port Elizabeth - Lovely accommodation with very comfortable beds and linen. Great breakfast options and a coveniently located on site restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is very close to the beach but unfortunately it is not safe to walk there
• Rachel (9/5): Great stay - would return! - Really lovely guesthouse with very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious room with sea view. Good facilities and great breakfast cooked to order. Was able to order in wine from Uber delivery as there is no licence at the accommodation. You could arrange trips via the hotel as well as transport to the airport. Not a great location for a solo female traveller as nothing directly next to the hotel but Uber was easy to use.

• Thabang (1/5): Bad - The location The room that I got is not what was advertised and what I paid for. The bathroom light only works when you switch the aircon on. The size of the shower door was meant for kids, I feel sorry for the plus size people. I’m very slim but I couldn’t fit the door. The staff isn’t friendly. Personally I’d never book this place again.
• Sizwe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Margaret (10/5): Exceptional -
• Moleboheng (7/5): Good -
• Katoo (7/5): Good stay. - We had a comfy stay. The owner was very friendly and helped us with all our questions. The breakfast was good. Location near the beach! Basic but good accomodation.
• Chris (9/5): Superb -
• Lior (4/5): Outdated and has to be renovated asap. Poor value for money. Never come back. - Staff are friendly and rooms are clean. Design of the rooms, showers and outdoor spaces is extremely outdated and not Suitable to be a hotel, but likes more like a prison cell. A metal stick coming from a wall is a "shower". The place for washing hands has cold and hot water in separate tubs. Tiniest ever TV stuck in the corner with SA news only. Really a prison cell from the 80s and not a hotel.
• Qwayede (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thembi (9/5): Superb - Clean bedding Comfy bed Bathroom not so clean there was hair in the basin and the floor not so clean
• Lwandile (8/5): Very good - We had a comfortable and peaceful stay. We just slept for one night and left early the next morning, however I would come back in future. Nothing really
• Hermien (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Cherise (1/5): unpleasant - Guesthouse is ok but i had a very bad experience the owner of the guesthouse. I had a bad experience at the guesthouse and uoon requesting ro speaking to the owner about I was met with a very bad attitude from the owner herself. Attitude of owner and i had a item which got lost on this property. after talking to the owner about this combined with the fact that I was not happy with the hotel insisting on scanning a soft copy of guests ID document since i think its a very personal document i was met with a very rude attitude from the owner who told me thst i am accusing her staff of stealing... which was not the case but if something valuable goes missing on ur property i think the guest has the right to bring ot to the owners attention.
• Nombedesho (9/5): A place to recommend - Spacious and appealing space Nothing really
• Luyanda (5/5): Passable -
• Vernon (9/5): to short - everything was nice the airoplanes over head thats it
• Booysen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Awethu (4/5): The room did not provide value for money - They provided liquid soap in the bathroom The property was not beachfront, the room was small, and the was no Netflix and the dstv channels were few. The was no aircon in the room, and the was no ventilation in the bathroom.
• Lerato (9/5): Superb -
• Andre (9/5): Superb -
• Delmaine (4/5): Disappointing -
• Leleka (10/5): La Mer Geust house - The welcoming was outstanding and the lady explained everything to me as to what to do when I needed anything and how to order. The next day my phone that I used to gain access to the property was off but I used my partner's phone to call the after hours number and a guy opened the gate for me and showed me the parking spot, that was marvelous 🙏 At Room two, there's a door to another room and in the early hours of the morning the light in there keeps going on and off and that's very disturbing. Please keep the light off. I don't know if it's a storage room or what but it's not nice seeing the light going on and off that frequent.
