Willingness to accommodate the need for bathtub while I had initially been allocated en-suite-shower which was not my preference. Relocating at no extra charge was appreciated

Buyani South Africa

They are very accommodating esp when we had a problem and had to move our dates. Thank you

Penny South Africa

The location and set-up is great, it feels very secure and safe. The off-street parking gives peace of mind and the staff were friendly and accommodating to the max.

Hannah South Africa

I enjoyed my stay very much and I will be coming back

Lifa South Africa

Everything, the staff, the cleanliness, where the place is situated. The staff make sure every need is met. The location is great close to Florida road which has good places, close to beaches. Everything is closeby petrol station, pharmacy, very quiet place.

Ms South Africa

Absolutely stunning. Beautiful surroundings. Staff were all very friendly. Excellent value for money. Definitely would recommend to others and will always keep Coweys Corner in mind when travelling again!

Tonja South Africa

Location, staff, our room and the communal kitchen (if I can call it that) was very good to have access to.

Beeqwabe South Africa

warm welcome by the staff, quiet and neat place, conveniently located quite central in a nice suburb. We travelled with family including small kids + baby. Full english breakfast was tops. We can fully recommend this place.
