Guest Reviews

• kapp (7/5): -
• Botha (8/5): - Location, neat and tidy Bed was a bit hard😒
• Magesh (8/5): -
• April (10/5): - Firstly the location was great,it was nice,calm and quiet,the room was exceptional spacious as we was enjoying the entertainment facilities also. I can't even think of something i didn't like
• Arno (8/5): Fijne kamer, alles in order, fijne hosts, verder niks speciaal. - Erg fijne gastheer en -vrouw. Wij boekten een kamer voor 3 personen, het eenpersoonsbed leek er wel wat bijgeperst te zijn waardoor wat benauwd, maar een kamer op deze plek is enkel om te slapen. Een leuk terassje met zicht op het zwembad, op 10 minuten wandelen sta je op het strand. Op 2 kilometer sta je bij de pinguins. De kamers waren erg netjes en proper, de inrichting iets ouderwetser. De host was eerlijk over het ontbijt en verwees ons naar een koffiezaak verderop, wat was het daar lekker!! Het verblijf was gewoon goed! De eetmogelijkheden in de buurt zijn beperkter.
• Sass (10/5): - Thank you to Fijnbos Manor,it was 1 of the best stays I had in a while.Mr William thank you for exceptional service and to the hosts of the property,thanks so much for the good company and making us feel so welcome,we will definitely be back 😀 😊
• Eric (7/5): -
• Lolita (8/5): -
• CarolAnn (4/5): clean and tidy, but the mismatched, dated décor and awkward room layout lacked any cohesive theme or comfort. - The location was perfect, loved the fire place in the lounge/dining area, towels and towel heater. The room was clean and tidy, which we appreciated. However, the overall décor felt mismatched and lacked a clear theme or continuity throughout the guest house. The furniture was misplaced and bedding looked older and didn’t complement each other — it gave the impression that items had been collected over time rather than thoughtfully curated. The layout and spacing of the room also felt a bit awkward and not very comfortable. It doesn’t need to be modern, but a more consistent style would really improve the experience.
• Matt (10/5): -
• Victor (10/5): Very nice nd smart - The place was great smart nd safe
• Louw (8/5): -
• Heather (10/5): - Everything needed was provided and more. Loved the extra touches like fresh milk and biscuits.
• Rudi (9/5): -

• Sulet (7/5): -
• Graeme (8/5): Perfect spot for a quiet stay close to the beach - Perfect location for access to the main beach at Betty`s Bay.
• Marie (9/5): Lovely, welcoming place, nothing too much trouble. - Friendly, welcoming comfortable. Nothing, for the price it was amazing.
• Elmi (9/5): Warm - Friendly host, great pool, close to beach.
• Corene (7/5): A comfortable stay with a spacious room and nice pool area. - Friendly staff, convenient location close to restaurants, safe parking Bathroom needing refurbishment
• Seth (9/5): -
• Marnix (9/5): -
• Monica (1/5): - It was terrible I unfortunately don't have any good things to say about this property. Dirty and tired, it hasn't been refurbished since the 70s. Linen was old, mattress was extremely uncomfortable, it was extremely dirty and full of old dirty mats, no hot water in the shower, dirty old nett curtains, terrible furniture. Everything was disgusting to say the least.
• Petrie (10/5): -
• conwill (10/5): -
• Candice (9/5): See You guys soon - besides great location to unwind and enjoy 'down time'. prefect for friend and families. have a swim while you braai, and chill at the bar. Thank you guys. I will be back. I can't compalin.
• Clive (10/5): - Room was spacious and very friendly service Nothing
• Anelda (10/5): -
• Camelin (7/5): - Friendly welcome by the manager, William The rooms were spacious and tidy. We received a free upgrade on one of the rooms as the one we had booked had issues with the geyser. We had a hearty breakfast prepared by William The property is very peaceful and quiet And a friendly check-out by who we assume was one of the owners The outdoor room AKA the upgrade had an overwhelming musty/damp smell like it hadn't been used/aired out in a while. Perhaps because of possible baboons coming in, but even the cupboards in the kitchenette smelled that way
• Rich (10/5): A fabulous B & B - Such a lovely B&B, felt at home, lovely big room, William (manager) went the extra mile and nothing too much trouble. We had breakfast as an extra and was perfect . Really enjoyed our stay there. Nothing.
• Rafael (10/5): - It's a stunning venue, with views of the sea, a lovely garden, and a pool which we enjoyed. The room was spotless, and the bed included a mosquito net which was perfect for my partner More milk. And some ice trays in the freezer
• maya (9/5): -
• Istvan (8/5): Comfortable place with access to beaches/penguins/hiking. - Jules/John/William were all super nice, friendly, and helpful. Good location with respect to going to the market and restaurants (and the main beach). I had the room with a kitchenette, which I used for making a couple simple meals. And Patches (the hosts' dog) was very cute. Everything was fine!!
• Harold (7/5): Despite the bathroom problem, Fijnbos Manor provides very good value for money. - The manager - William - was very helpful , and the room was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. Nerflix was a nice bonus. The breakfast was limited in choice, but what was provided was adequate. The bathroom / toilet is cramped , and needs an upgrade . The hand shower tube was leaking and the main shower was difficult to operate. Drain outlet in the basin needs replacing, and the toiletries shelf above the basin is badly positioned, making it awkward to use the basin.
• Morris (8/5): Friendly Fijnbos - The bed was super comfy. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. The room was spacious and homely. The location was very convenient. Initially we encountered a few snags. The pool wasn't in use. We had no Internet or WiFi. The shower wasn't working. BUT..afrer contacting the owner Jules she sent. William the lovely manager to fix everything for us. We then had an extremely pleasant stay and even spent a lovely evening chatting with the owners on the 1st night🧡
• natalie (6/5): Was a peaceful stay, owners are friendly, helpful…. Would stay here again - The location was great. I felt like the cleaning didnt happen without having to ask…. Even when leaving the door open etc
• Sterley (6/5): -
• Nothnagel (9/5): -
• Rudi (8/5): - Great overnight stay for travelers. The decor and "feeling" fit the sea experience. The pool and braai area was great My expectations were to be nearer to the seaview according to the site description. The restaurant could have contributed to a better stay
• Lehandri (9/5): We had a wonderful stay. The staff were warm, welcoming and accommodating. Absolute pleasure. - We had a wonderful stay at the guesthouse, where the warm hospitality and comfortable surroundings made us feel right at home. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making our visit both relaxing and memorable. Not applicable to Fijnbos Manor
• Zayed (7/5): -
• Danielle (10/5): Brilliant - Comfortable and satisfactory in all aspects. NA
• Greene (8/5): Pleasant and convenient; we'd go there again. - The room was large and comfortable, with a pleasant small verandah where we could sit. The shower water was hot and strong. Shops within easy walking distance. There was a muddle and we were told the R130pp breakfast wasn't available.
• Julie (9/5): nice people nice place fair location - it was close to an inland natural lake i could swim in- i discovered it by chance. it had aircon which was appreciated. It was spacious. It was centrally located for business or for overnighting. I like the idea of a common pool area and lounge so guests can meet and greet. but spacious rooms for those who want privacy. It was acceptable generally it was all good. it did not have a view but you cant have everything. Instead it had proximity to Restaurants and main road etc
• Henriette (7/5): -
• Andrew (7/5): -
• Beate (10/5): -
• Jaana (6/5): Ei ole hintansa arvoinen. - Sijainti. Epäsiisteys, tunkkaisuus, kylpyhuone erityisesti kaipaa päivitystä. Kylpyammeen ympärillä olevat laudat olivat esim homeessa. Kokolattiamatto kaipaisi jo irrotusta.
• Adriaan (7/5): - The location The common area is fully suitable voor a large groep which want to have a braai.
• Khayalethu (7/5): Good - Good Nothing
• Barbara (10/5): -
• Adelheid (4/5): -
• Lawrence (9/5): - Very conveniently located, good facilities and friendly staff. Nothing
• Margaret (1/5): -
• Agnes (4/5): Netter Gastgeber, schlechtes Zimmer - Die Lage war okay. Williams sehr nett. Das Frühstück war fein! Das Zimmer war überfüllt mit alten Möbel, war sehr eng, keine Aussicht. Der Boden mit altem schmutzigem Teppich, darüber lagen noch mehr alte Teppiche.
• Ricarda (8/5): Alles gut gewesen, sehr freundliche Leute. - Die Dame des Hauses hatte unsere sehr kurzfristige Buchung noch nicht erhalten, da dort das Internet ausgefallen war. Trotzdem hat sie uns freundlich empfangen und uns spontan das Zimmer gerichtet. Nichts
• Kevin (10/5): Wonderful hosts. Beautiful property. - Everything Nothing

• Sergio Francisco (5/5): - Camas cómodas No era lo que contratamos y el personal no fue amable estando la mayoría del tiempo ausente
• Ben (10/5): Fantastic, would recommend to all social travellers. - Jules was incredibly hospitable. Room was excellent and communal area was fantastic.
• angus john Opperman (10/5): Quick breakaway - Everything was good. I didn't use the pool because the weather was a bit gloomy, but otherwise no complaints. There's nothing.
• Luane (9/5): Lovely stay which we highly recommend. -
• Natalie (9/5): Sufficient for my needs - Easy to find and close to other popular destinations. Penguins nearby. Very windy, currently live in Hartenbos. Tap was loose on zinc
• Ehlers (9/5): -
• Geldenhuys (8/5): This will be the place i will be staying in the future. Extremely good value for money! -
• Selwyn (8/5): - Quietness Nothing not to like
• Cuttings (10/5): I will definitely be there again - I loved every bit of it. I didn't like the fact that the picture of the full house displayed is not the actual house. The swimming pool is very small. Some people would've loved to lay in bed and watch TV at night but unfortunately the TV wasn't mounted across the bed.
• MacDevette (8/5): -
• Tshaka (7/5): -
• Kantilal (8/5): -
• Isabelle (8/5): Basic accommodation in a safe location with very friendly and accommodating staff. - Convenient location. Healthy Pool available, breakfast option if required. Bathroom needs updating. Drains/pipe noises etc.

• Elias Elias (6/5): -
• Majangaza (8/5): Very good -
• Duplessis (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly and helpful host, William. Everything one needed will stay there again. Thank you!
• Mbasa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mary (8/5): Our overnight stay was good, the place as I expected and value for money. - The location is good, but as we only overnighted to celebrate a friend's birthday at their home, we did not explore as we have been in the Bay before. The Manor is very comfortable, clean and homely and our host, William was friendly and helpful. We had an excellent breakfast which was well cooked. Minor detail, for breakfast I would have liked the toast to be made when we sat down so it could be hot. However, I have to say that the bathroom we had could do with a serious upgrade! It was adequate and clean but outdated and awkward.
• Bernadette (10/5): Breathtaking - Perfect Location! This place is in one of the best spots – close to shops and restaurants, which makes everything so convenient. It’s neat, beautifully maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was good
• Edmund (8/5): Very good - Everything was good except some problems with the flus of water in the washing basin Friendly staff,good place to stay Will definitely recommend it for someone else
• Lucy (8/5): Very good - It was quiet and I felt.safe. Nothing negative for me.
• Louwrens (6/5): Pleasant -
• Brooks (10/5): Great will book again - Just the noise of the toilet flush at night.
• Kitshoff (8/5): Very good -
• Van (1/5): Bad - Bedding was not clean
• Aasief (8/5): Very good - The quaint, quiet, self catering area, with the sea one one end and mountain on the other. True nestle in nature. Short walking distance to the beach. That the spa was no longer an on-site service. But understood the reason why.
• Gibbons (10/5): Awesome service and stay - Pleasant people
• Louis (10/5): Leka comfy stay - The location of the room Na
• Kobus (8/5): Very good - William's hospitality was above average!!👏👏 Wife got shocked by open power wires of bed lamp.
• Gavin (1/5): Avoid at all costs ! Very dodgy - Absolutely nothing. Pictures on site don’t match living experience. Noisy neighbours not managed adequately by manager and the staff did not bother to clean the room on day 2. Was so bad that we checked out a day early - would not recommend this place at all , complete shocker !
• Sive (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mariwo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shannon (9/5): Superb - Lovely host, thanks William! Convenient spot with walking distance to beach and restaurants.
