Incredible view of soaring ocean waves right on the water in comfortable room. Very personable, kind and accommodating host Paul, who recommended an excellent local spot for dinner called Barnacles (also right on the ocean with a lovely view) Close to the airport, only about 20-25 min away which was perfect for our early morning flight the next day. Would highly recommend and hope to stay there again (especially given you cannot beat the price)!

    I loved the quaintness of the place. It reminded my son of Bag End in Lord of the Rings. It was very conveniently located within walking distance of the sea in a quiet neighbourhood. . Each unit had lovely outdoor areas where one could tuck in with a good book on rainy or windy day. Roy was the perfect host.

    A very cleverly designed guest house where each room has a private garden. All the rooms were modern. Our room also had a kitchenette. Geoff was an amazing host and all the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided was delicious. The property was situated in a quiet cul de sac in Walmer, which was very central.

    This secure and cosy property is in a great location on Summerstrand just outside PE City. The staff are so friendly and helpful and oh my goodness the breakfasts are to die for. Sam is a great host, so chatty and friendly and gave us lots of advice and suggestions for our safety and for things to do in and around PE. Great value for money and would thoroughly recommend. Try the Coachman in one of the nearby malls for the best steaks ever!

    We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Karin made us feel so welcome. My 3 year old had the most amazing time at the guesthouse. The house and all facilities were amazing. We had a light working when there was loadshedding, so we were completely in the dark. Karin and Morne are great hosts. We will definitely be back again in summer to swim in the pool.

    We visited on a very cold weekend and the guesthouse was filled with so much warmth (fireplace, heater, electric blanket). Our host even availed light breakfast fully complimentary. The guesthouse was centrally located and therefore easily accessible to the areas we were visiting. Jane was truly a great host.

    Super accommodating and helpful host. She was always ready with some good tips and advice which we really appreciated. Room was clean and cosy, with daily housekeeping and even change of towels by our 3rd night which was unexpected for a guesthouse. Great location within walking distance to the beach and loads of restaurants.
