My partner did not feel safe
The pictures are deceiving, the kitchen displayed was not for public use.

- Edmund (10/5): Thank you - Everything. The room was clean and comfortable. The courtyard was cozy. The kitchen was like "kitchen at home" with everything you need. The braai area was very clean and handy with all the braai tools to use and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend. The absence of umbrellas at the tables in the courtyard.
- Rene (9/5): Very happy with our stay - The unit had everything we needed. It was neat & tidy. We loved the massive shower. The staff were friendly & helpful. They did the washing of our laundry for a very good price. The beds are a bit to hard for our liking. The kitchen needs replacement of a few cutlery & crockery, especially steak knives.
- Mariette Roche (10/5): Can recommend to anybody, had a lovely stay. - Excellent location, neat, clean, very safe and staff helpful and friendly. They can expand the parking area, but wasn’t a major issue.

- Mellovestravelling (7/5): Stilbaai stay - Clean and spacious room with a lovely shower offering plenty of hot water. Not applicable
- Neil (8/5): - The silence of venue, neatness, reception by host exquisite. Limited utensils, no microwave in room, kettle on floor, sugar, coffee, containers rather sticky. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a while. Matrass on main bed rather thin.
- Daniel (2/5): - Not clean... Dirty bedding and kitchen bin was filled up.
Dirty chair in the shower

- Bowles (8/5): Value for money. - We did not have breakfast, the place is nice and clean, off street parking was good. No bedside floor mats as the floor tiles are very cold especially if you forgot your slippers at home.
Bath towels are not good quality or rather tiered, very thin.
It would be nice to have a fresh smell from the linen.
Overall a nice place to stay with a well equipped kitchen for the self cater traveler.
- Pieter (8/5): It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. - Our stay at this guesthouse was enjoyable! Right from the start, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth.

We had easy access to everything we needed, and the overall ambiance was both soothing and welcoming.

- Raynardt (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amanda (6/5): Nice and clean place to stay. - The place was very neat, safe and clean. It was a very cold nigh but luckily we had our own warm water bottles. It helped. I was traveling with my elderly parents, and it wat a bit more suited for a "backpacker" experience. BUT MOM AND DAD DIDNT COMPLAIN AND WE HAD A GOOD STAY.

- Gagu (8/5): Very good - The room was good, clean, and comfortable.
It met my expectation.
The price was also reasonable. I did not particularly like the gas stove. But there is nothing wrong with it. It's just my taste. Maybe if I had stayed long and had time to settle in I would have adjusted my self and my taste.

- Harrison (8/5): Very good -
- Barend (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pretorius (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (8/5): Peaceful & Clean - Great, quiet location, yet close enough to everything. The showerhead needs some attention & the waterpressure is quite low at times making taking a shower rather frustrating.
- Van (5/5): Not one which I would recommend for friends. - The location was good with regards to our reason for visiting Stilbaai There was no running water. We were not able to have a good shower after a long day on the road. This could be communicated to the public in advance in order to have a choice to stay there or not.
- Lindy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marco (8/5): Very good -
- Fourie (5/5): We appreciate the staff and cleanliness but slept badly and the smoking area was a deal breaker. - The staff were lovely and the kitchen was very well stocked The smoking area is right outside the rooms and kitchen so they smelled of smoke and the mattresses and pillows were very uncomfortable. When we tried to use a spare mattress we found broken glass under the bed.
- Charmaine (8/5): Very good -
- Eusebius (8/5): Very good -
- Karin (1/5): Bad - The room was lovely & the bed was comfortable. This is not a guest house as was advertised, but a hostel for contract workers. Rooms are not soundproof, no hot water & I'm afraid there was no way that I was going to use the communal kitchen. Also, it was not near the beach as advertised!! I found the notices on all the walls everywhere very patronizing & not very welcoming! My first thought was: what kind of guests stay here?I was met with aggression & threatened with layers & police when I complained.
- Van (8/5): Very good - The cleanliness and comfort Way to many rules for a place where someone is paying for a night only
- Lani (5/5): Give it a pass - Peter Myrtle, the multiple signs making you feel like they dont really want guests around and cold breakfast where you are considered ridiculous for wanting a choice in how your egg is cooked and then being charge 30% more than price advertised on booking.com.
- Gillian (8/5): Stillbaai Stayover - It had everything we needed. Safe parking , kettle, tea, coffee etc. Lovely welcome from Peter who is also a fountain of information.
- Leon (10/5): Peter is a great Man and very welcoming - All was well If kitchen was within the Room
- Estiaan (5/5): Quick one night stay not to Bad - Location Shower Pressure was bad and the bedding linen was dirty
- Joseph (5/5): Passable -
- Sandra (3/5): Cold soulless place with unwelcoming and forbidding notices everywhere. - Awful ungenerous breakfast.: cold eggs, cold toast, artificial orange juice, weak tea, margarine not butter. I felt sorry for the lady who served us, it was such a soulless place. Forbidding notices everywhere. everything could have been been better. No view, cold floors, inhospitable room, old towels but the double bed mattress was decent. The worst things were these ugly notices, at least three in each room, don't do this, don't do that, it was like a reformatory
- Francois (6/5): Pleasant - Very need and good appliances Old cutlery and insufficient glasses in common area/ kitchen.
- Stefan (9/5): Superb -
- Michelle (8/5): Very good -
- Christale (4/5): Disappointing - It's accessible, could arrive late. Owners communicated prior to arrival Bunk beds, owners didn't check in with us during stay to find out if we were OK. Didn't know about guest kitchen...
