We really enjoyed our nice room with en-suite bathroom and a little kitchen. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The garden with the goats, ducks and the horses was really beautiful.

The Lookout Guest House, hotel in Bathurst

Overlooking the town of Port Alfred, boasting beautiful views of the Indian Ocean, this guest house impresses with elegant furnishings and an elegant atmosphere. The Lookout offers free WiFi.

Beautiful views of the ocean and lagoon. Property is well designed and maintained. Rooms were clean and spacious. Angela went the extra mile for us being that we were leaving early in the morning before breakfast for a game reserve and she made an amazing lunch to take with us. She met us at 6am just before we left with lunch and some of the best cheese sandwiches I’ve had in a very long time. I feel it was due to her kind and loving nature.

    Really interesting community.

    Really interesting community. Best place is on the stoep at the Pig and Whistle. Their food was great, there is a pool table for entertainment for the kids. Prices are very good and the staff very friendly and helpful.

    Packed full of arts and crafts markets, tourist sites and little places to explore. Old settler charm. Perfect for a few days in the area. The Pig and Whistle is a great place to eat with its live music and bustling street-side location.

    The Pig and Whistle like always was amazing the little village is extremely relaxing and the get-a-way very enjoyable. The weekend was spoilt some what by a meal at the Pizza restaurant in Bathurst which was in a word appalling. The service was virtually non existent, the food uneatable and the owner plain rude. A PLACE DEFINITELY TO BE AVOIDED.

    This stay was fantastic. Warm and friendly hosts. Drinks served in the garden next to the pool (a bar available if you prefer). Amazing food from Carla - daily menu from local produce was exceptional (booking essential). We loved it all so much we extended our stay by a night (which says it all). We ate at the property both nights. Local area was great fun to explore - Bathurst is small, quaint and quirky - we thoroughly enjoyed looking around, especially over a weekend. Would definitely recommend.

    The ambience with Carla and Fred as hosts was spectacular. The location was great close to the town of Bathurst and Summerhill pineapple farm- the largest in SA. The cherry on the top was the breakfast - homemade by Chef Carla. The pool was clean and sparkling and provided much entertainment for us. The farm being small and quaint also gave us the privacy we required. One major positive was that the farm is powered by a solar system so no load shedding for us. Hippip hooray.
