DH (10/5): -
Herve (10/5): Expérience exceptionnelle - Magnifique endroit Maison agencée avec beaucoup de goût Vue magique sur les canaux Petit déjeuner fabuleux Excellent accueil Tout était parfait
Nandi (4/5): - The location of it Its not a self catering which we were not informed. We could not even microwave our food. The TV was fixed very late. We also checked out early due to an emergency but the place is very beautiful just few things were upsetting but overall was not thst bad
Roland (9/5): Hier kann man sich sehr wohlfühlen- alles bestens - Superschönes Zimmer, Bilder sind genau wie beschrieben - sehr unkomplizierter u aufmerksamer Vermieter ! Mit tollen Tipps zum Essen gehen und tolles Frühstück! Gerne wären wir länger geblieben wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Nichts

John-Paul (9/5): Amazing, would recommend - Property was amazing. Large, clean, great facilities. Private mini pier onto the canals with complimentary use of a kayak was very good fun. Breakfast was great. Hosts were super friendly, professional and engaging. They were also very responsive, even when messaged late in the evening. Due to the room design (thatched roof) sound easily transfers between rooms. We had a noisy neighbour and this did impact our stay although the hosts helped deal with this very professionally and promptly.
Alina (9/5): sehr schöner und ruhiger Aufenthalt - sehr geräumige zimmer, toller liegeplatz am pool, direkt am kanal gelegen, gastgeber het für uns das frühstück persönlich gemach unser zimmer hette keine sicht auf den kanal, schade aber da wir nur eine nacht waren nicht so schlimm, bis zum Zemtrum sind es ca. 25min zu fuss

Carina (10/5): Fijn en goed verblijf gehad! - De ontvangst was gezellig en de kamer helemaal top! Ook het ontbijt was geweldig lekker en werd geserveerd door Pam en Rob! Ze hebben hun uiterste best gedaan om het ons naar de zin te maken!
indrani (9/5): - Breakfast was great - has variety Add a few more sachets of coffee for the room and more milk if possible
Hans (8/5): - Very nice Location directly at a canal and also the room is spacious and modern, Aircon to warm up the Room works very good. The shower is a kind of Outside, in Wintertime its cold to take a shower in the Morning. The Breakfast was served outside on the Terrace, it was about 12 degree, so not very comfy.
Anna-Maria (10/5): Kayaking on the canals was amazing and such a fun activity offered by the host :) - Amazing views
Danny (10/5): -
Lumka (8/5): Perfect - Everything was perfect Nothing
Imke (10/5): - Dir Lage war außergewöhnlich und hat unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen!
Ziphozihle (8/5): Amazing hospitality and beautiful place to chill. - I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for my recent stay at the guesthouse. Upon arrival, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Andrew, a truly lovely and kind gentleman whose warm demeanor instantly made me feel at home. The following day, I met Mrs. Andrew, our gracious hostess, who shared fascinating insights about her experiences in Stutterheim and KHS in King William’s Town. Our delightful conversation about life in King William’s Town made my stay even more memorable. Thank you both for your hospitality and for making my visit so special! Nothing. We wish could have stayed longer..
Jabulani (10/5): I enjoyed, felt like i was home😋 - Neat Nothing wrong, excellent
Mohammed (7/5): -
Shirley (10/5): -
Sebastian (10/5): Traumhaftes Haus direkt am Kanal - Sehr schönes Zimmer mit direktem Blick auf den Kanal. Nette und zuvorkommende Inhaber die einen herzlich willkommen heißen.
Tembelani (10/5): It was great to stay in Canal guest house. - Breakfast was very good and the place is well looked after and nicely situated next to restaurants. They have honored our request as customers and we appreciate that. Maybe add some variety on the breakfast menu. The no steam in the disadvantaged us which we can have a communal iron area. Type of towels used was not great as we like linen.
Magongo (7/5): Beautiful. We will defnately be back - Satisfactory. A little bit too early cause I'm a late sleeper The noise from a group in the other room We also struggled to fully close the curtains.
Jennifer (8/5): Wonderful stay. - Comfy bed, spacious, air con, fridge, good breakfast, lovely location, friendly owners and staff Shower curtain as water gets on bathroom floor. Floor also a little slippery when liquid soap used, so maybe a wall bar to hold onto, and/or non slip floor cover. Would have appreciated jug of cold water in fridge, tissues, body lotion, more tea options perhaps.
Carsten (7/5): -
Alvina (10/5): -
Nonjabulo (10/5): Perfect for relaxing and winding.Will definitely go back again - Everything Nothing
Marc (10/5): Alles super! Wir kommen wieder 😊 - Große Zimmer und tolle Lage. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. Wir bekamen mehrere Tipps für Restaurants und Unternehmungen in der Umgebung. Beim nächsten Mal bleiben wir gerne etwas länger.
Berndgpunkt (10/5): Top, super! - Alles!
Roland (10/5): -
Abigail (8/5): -
Magdalena (10/5): -
Ina-Maria (8/5): - Sehr verbindliche Gastgeber, tolle Hilfestellung, als ein Portemonnaie verloren ging, gute Empfehlungen für Restairants und Unternehmungen. Frühstück super lecker! Zimmer und Aufenthaltsräume extrem groß. Die Unterkünfte sind durch gemeinsames Reetdach verbunden, dadurch hört man viel von den Nachbarn. Die gesamte Gegend ist auf dem Reißbrett angelegt und wirkte auf uns künstlich (Retorte). Es fehlte afrikanisches Flair, stattdessen protziger Reichtum. Die Kanalfahrt hat diesen Eindruck bestätigt.
Anna (10/5): Absolutely gorgeous place! St Francis Bay…. Wow! So beautiful! - Stunning boutique accommodation right on the water! If this is available for your selected dates: book it now! It’s amazing! Loved every moment of our stay! I didn’t want to leave!
Andrea (10/5): Tradition trifft auf Moderne - Wir haben uns bewusst für ein traditionelles Haus mit Schilfdach entschieden. Innen ist alles sehr offen und modern. Man kann mit dem hauseigenen Kajak fahren. Tolle Restaurants in der Nähe. Nichts
Ariadna (10/5): Amazing!! - If I could give more than five stars, I would. The place is amazing, the views are incredible, and the owner makes your stay perfect. I highly recommend staying here!!
Bhuvaneshwaran (10/5): - Excellent Hosts, Hidden Paradise, Craves everyone to come Back Thank you Andrew & Pam

Bonnie (10/5): Great weekend getaway, in the heart of the st Francis canals. - Setting was just beautiful and serene. Room 3 was the one to request for sure. I liked it all.
David (9/5): - Tolle Lage direkt am Wasser. Der Eigentümer war super freundlich und hat uns jede Menge Tipps für den Aufenthalt gegeben. Die Unterkunft (nicht Booking) bucht direkt bei Buchung ab.
Anathi Yekela (9/5): Great stay! - The place is located in the perfect area!Rob was such an amazing host.Rooms and bathroom are very spacious and look lovely.There’s also a restaurant nearby,across the street that makes delicious food. I think they could look into changing the pillows,they were to flat for my liking.
Leonie Romina (10/5): Schöner Zwischenstopp St. Francis Bay - - gutes, leckeres Frühstück - gepflegte Anlage - modernes und sauberes Zimmer - Teppichboden im Zimmer (für Allergiker weniger geeignet)
