The rooms are spacious and have their own terrace which looks towards the pool area. Bathrooms are big and shower is great. The staff were very friendly. And breakfast was varied and all good.

Our recent stay at Brighton Lodge was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks largely to the incredible hospitality of our host, Claudette. From the moment we arrived, Claudette’s warm and welcoming nature set the tone for a truly memorable visit. Her natural gift for hosting shines through in every interaction—it’s evident she was born for this role. The lodge itself is an absolute gem. Tastefully decorated with elegant fixtures and thoughtfully chosen furnishings, every corner exudes charm and sophistication. The ambiance perfectly captures a sense of tranquility and calm, ideal for relaxing and unwinding. Brighton Lodge’s location is simply unbeatable. Nestled in a peaceful setting, it’s surprisingly just a short stroll away from the bustling beachfront, vibrant restaurants, the lively Boardwalk Mall, and various charming shops. You truly get the best of both worlds—serenity and convenience combined. Breakfast each morning was delightful—beautifully presented, full of variety, and the perfect start to our day. Claudette enhanced the experience through her genuine interest in ensuring guests enjoyed their meals and their stay, offering valuable insights and excellent recommendations on local attractions, must-visit sites, and hidden gems around the area. If you’re looking for exceptional accommodation paired with heartfelt hospitality and a prime location, Brighton Lodge, with Claudette as your host, is undoubtedly the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

Le Blue is a neat, safe and cosy guesthouse. My room was immaculate with everything I needed for a 2 night stay. I needed an iron and after a quick WhatsApp it was delivered to my room in minutes. JP and his father are friendly and gracious hosts and I'll wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Dear [Booking.com Customer Service], I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional accommodation I recently booked through your platform in Port Elizabeth. The experience far surpassed my expectations and provided me with a much-needed opportunity to recuperate and recharge. The facilities were immaculate, and I was particularly impressed by the impeccable cleanliness. The warmth and friendliness exhibited by your staff, especially Alicia Darling Viljoen and Scarnele, contributed significantly to the enjoyable stay. Their welcoming demeanor, coupled with the added touch of New Year decorations, made the experience truly delightful. Despite the unresolved situation that took me to the Eastern Cape, staying at your establishment has allowed me to feel rejuvenated and prepared to re-engage with real life. I must say, the level of service and care provided by your team was outstanding and truly appreciated. I wish to extend my heartfelt appreciation and commendation to your establishment. Without a doubt, I intend to be a loyal patron, availing of your services each time I travel in that direction. Thank you once again for the exceptional hospitality and service provided by your team. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at your establishment. Warm regards, Richard Coceko Tuswa

• Lighthouse tour was fantastic • Chef-prepared dinners—especially the salmon—were next-level • Absolutely stunning views all around • Candles – loved having them on, such a warm touch • Bedding – super cozy and inviting, we really loved it (and the heating pads—thank you, thank you, that was wonderful!) • The upstairs outdoor area – we even liked that it was open-air, totally incredible experience I also want to mention how lovely Ashwin and Annelize were. Their smiles were radiant—they looked like glowing angels. Ashwin was especially sweet and helpful, and his English was excellent. I’m not sure if Annelize spoke English (it didn’t seem like she understood much), but she was so kind and warm. They were both genuinely wonderful and added a lot to the experience. And Simon’s meals were next level, and his friendliness added so much love to our experience. Lin, you’ve created something rare and beautiful—your place gave us one of those memories we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives

    I loved the fact that the accommodation was right on the beach. We had freedom of moving around as we wanted as the keys were left in a key box. It was a spectacular stay.
