    Location: the hotel was not far from good restaurants and the beach-swimming safe near the pier, the beach and all other ammenities on offer and safari near Amakala & Addo in countryside. Ate at Yi Pin, it's not too far away from the venue.

    The value for money at this guesthouse was excellent and the room was really comfortable with everything we needed. The location was great, close to the airport, and the staff were friendly and competent.

    The food for breakfast could have been better, specifically the bacon was not freshly cooked.

    Was a great base for trip. My stay was wonderful for next local visit. The staff were flexible and highly efficient, as I could only expect. Liked the location close to restaurants. A calm park was also around 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.

    Great location just off the beachfront and very quiet. Spacious and comfortable rooms with modern kitchens. Delicious breakfast served with a smile. Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient for the airport, beach, and restaurants. Safe parking included.

    Some rooms had imperfections and felt hastily renovated. The soaps provided in canisters were difficult to use without spilling.

    Our experience at this property was absolutely mind-blowing, for the second time! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay with our three-year-old comfortable and enjoyable. The room was spacious and comfortable and our son loved the borrowed toys and special kids' breakfast utensils. The location was super convenient, just a short walk to the beach and the new mall. The breakfasts were jaw-droppingly delicious and the pool area was fantastic. We were also grateful for the flexibility when our boat trip was cancelled, allowing us to stay and enjoy the amenities until noon. The service provided by the team here was truly top-notch. If you're in the area, we highly recommend this property for an amazing stay.

    The location was great, close to the airport and easy to find. Facilities were good, clean and safe. Breakfast was cooked and had a small buffet. The staff was friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to assist with lost baggage and providing plant-based breakfast options.

    Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

    The location was perfect for us party-loving teenagers. Nelson Mandela Bay had so many cool places to hang out and have fun, from Bayworld with all its entertainment to the aquarium with those crazy dolphins. We had a blast exploring the city and there was something for everyone, no matter what kind of fun you were into.

    If there's one thing we wished was better, it would be the nightlife scene. As young, party-going people, we were hoping for some epic parties and clubs to dance the night away.

    I stayed at this guesthouse for a relaxing two-night getaway. The spacious accommodation and excellent facilities exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options. The staff, especially Weston, provided exceptional customer service and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety. The location was quiet and secure, providing a peaceful oasis in a busy area.

    I do recommend this hotel.
