Beautiful homestay facing the sea
Fantastic homestay on the route between PE and the garden route. Hosts are kind, friendly and helpful, gave us great reccomendations for the area and were kind enough to give us a lift too. They have designed the property beautifully and extremely stylishly. Breakfast is fantastic. Only negatives is that the curtains are thin and internet connection is weak.

A truly wonderful place to stay
This is one of those locations that would be called a "Hidden Gem". There was nothing about our stay that I could call less than excellent. The room was great, the hosts are fantastic and the breakfast was one of the best I've ever had at any location. The area is quiet and beautiful with a few good dining options.

Fantastic little treasure with super sea views. The little extra touches and attention to detail make this a must return place. The hosts are the reason Port Elizabeth is called the "friendly" city. We left feeling like we had new family friends.

Aufmerksamkeit hoch 10 !
Unser Zimmer hatte eine Glasfront, so konnten wir vom Bett aus auf's Meer schauen! Sensationell! Zusätzlich eine Gastgeberin die was die Wünsche der Gäste betrifft, extrem aufmerksam ist! Man denkt eben noch "...wäre doch ganz schön wenn..." schon ist Sie da und weiß was fehlt, ohne dass man es ausgesprochen hat! Thanks a lot Margie!

Beste Tage in Südafrika
Da unser Reiseführer die Gegend nicht so ausführlich erwähnt hat, hatte wir hier keine so hohen Erwartungen an die Lage. Die direkte Strandlage des Hotels (Felsenstrand) und die beiden nicht zu weit entfernten einsem Sandstrände haben uns eines Besseren belehrt. Der Service und die persönliche Betreuung waren außerordentlich. Unserer Gastgeber hat uns sogar seine Boogiebords und seine eigenen Fahrräder geliehen während des Aufenthalts.

Top-Unterkunft am Meer
Ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt bei ganz freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgebern. Die beiden Zimmer, für uns und unseren Sohn, waren sehr groß und sehr gepflegt. Alles top in Schuss und direkt am Meer gelegen.Und das Frühstück wurde mit viel Liebe zubereitet, bestens!

What a beautiful Place!
We have stayed for two nights and were more then happy, that we did so. Margie and Collin are the best hosts we have ever met. The breakfast is delicious and Collin gives really helpful tips & tricks! The place itself is right next to the ocean with a little beach access. It has no fences which was great, because you don't feel locked up like in other aces. Nevertheless we have never felt unsecure. Thanks Margie & Collin!

Fantastisk boende och frukost
Väldigt trevligt boende, nytt, rent och stilrent. Frukosten var fantastisk mycket och välsmakande!! Fin utsikt och delfinerna simmade i havet. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka och värdparet tog väl hand om oss med bra tips för vår fortsatta vistelse i landet.
