This guest house is an absolute gem. Wether you're on holiday or business it is ideally located, about 10 mins to either beach or city centre. Colleen and Suzanne were wonderful hosts and very helpful. We arrived late afternoon after travelling all day and Colleen looked at me and said "would you like a beer", What a gal! The rooms... More

Stayed here during the World Cup in 2010, was an excellent choice. Our room (studio) was huge and more than ideal. Was great to unwind in during the evening before heading back out to a restaurant or bar.

Service was impeccable, and nothing was too much to ask. The room was clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable. Excellent cooked-to-order breakfast. More

My fiance and I stayed at the Palm's Guest House for 1 night in April and really enjoyed the short time we spent there.

The breakfast was also very well... More
