South AfricaWe stayed at First Avenue guesthouse for only two nights and found it to be in a great location just metres away from the seafront and a 15 minute walk to the nearest shopping mall. The property felt very secure and there was also secure parking. The room was very clean and spacious and the bathroom was lovely. The pool area is surrounded by well tended gardens. The staff, especially Weston, were all very friendly and helpful. Altogether a great place to stay.

United KingdomVery professional check in, a choice of rooms offered and accurate answers to what was available in the neighbourhood. Barney's was a very good recommendation. Very good breakfast and very nice pool. Most impressive in these days of increasing non flexibility we were unlucky enough to have a planned boat trip on Raggedy Charters was cancelled. The hosts were happy to let us stay on property, use pool etc until 12 so a very big thank you
