Oh dear, our agent booked 4 nights for us but failed to tell us that a car was a necessity. Without one we were unable to get to any restaurants or the beach. But Stephen and Inge came to our rescue and, for a moderate charge, very kindly provided a taxi service for us. They took us to restaurants and... More

Thank you to Stephen and Inge for their hospitality. On the Spot B & B was by far the best place we stayed along the Garden Route and will definitely recommend to all friends and family. From the minute we arrived we felt welcome, Stephen and Inge always had the time to chat to us and give us some great... More

We only stayed here one night, the day after christmas day, following a safari and en route to Cape Town via the garden route. The owners could not have been more helpful. They told us about a really nice place to eat, even drawing on the map to show us how to get there. The room was very well presented,... More

We had a wonderful few days here. The hosts were simply amazing. They make you feel very much at home and go out of their way to help in any way they can. They suggested/booked restaurants for us and suggested things to do in the area. Would have loved to go fishing with Stephen, he knows his stuff! They are... More

We booked this B and B in advance for four nights, leaving just before Christmas 2011. Our room was spotless and the bathroom very clean and certainly large enough (separate bath and large shower). Both of the hosts/owners were extremely helpful with what to do in the local area and day trips/travel routes. The pool was spotless and it was... More

Our only regret was that we did not spend another night here. The hosts were friendly, helpful and obliging. They recommended a great walk and lookout point, an even better restaurant (ChokkaBlock) and the route to the Tzitzikama Forest as well as a stunning scenic detour to Plettenberg Bay. Breakfast was wonderful and they were wonderful in providing gluten free... More
