Detailed Reviews
Pleasant guesthouse close to “the safe” attractions of Port Elizabeth's. After a “mishap” in the towncenter, our host insisted on repaying us for the breakfast we hadn't had, despite the fact that we'd just chosen another address for a continental breakfast. Highly recommended.

We spent one night here, arriving at about 20:00 after a long flight.
Our room was quite nice, but a bit old, it had a small verandah and a kitchenette. Breakfast was good.
The location is very good, between the airport and the sea. There is private parking.
The owner is very kind and she went the extra mile calling her friend and even a friend of her friend to let us know how to find the bench with Mandela statue at University.
They have some lights and wi-fi working during loadshedding, that it’s very important.

Thanks to Kathy and Gordon for a truly enjoyable and comfortable stay. The accommodation and food (especially the omelets) were excellent and the added surprise when we arrived was really appreciated. Will stay again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

We stayed in April as a tennis group at the guesthouse. The owners went out of their way to accommodate our needs. Excellent service, friendly personnel, clean units, full breakfast - simply the best!

The B&B was very good value for money and our hosts were so friendly
it was nice to be made very comfortable and welcome when you are so far from home. We would recommend you stay hear on your travels and a great view out onto the bay.

We were very warmly welcomed by great hosts Kathy and Gordon upon our arrival. It was rather early for check-in (10.00am) but Kathy arranged to get us a vacant room to store our bags so we could go to Greenacres Shopping Mall.
Very comfortable beds and pillows... warm water... great breakfast including treats like pancakes on Valentines day!!!
what a pleasant experience... will go back ANYTIME !!!

We were only there for a short time. We got there late and left early the next morning. The service was very good including the woman owner carrying my luggage up the stairs for me. The room was clean and comfortable.

Only good things to say ! We loved the upstairs room with nice bedding, clean bathroom and even a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. The breakfast was more than sufficient, with a varied content and a nice touch of a homemade recipe. The street seems safe, and there is a private parking. It is close from the beach but still very quiet. We enjoyed ourselves very much thank you !!!
