to get started.

The room we stayed in was great, clean and cozy, breakfast is to die for. Definitely coming back. It's value for money, and the staff's awesome special thanks to Weston and the other reception lady(I forgot her name though sadly). Can't wait to see you guys again soon.

Bongani, South Africa

Location was excellent; we appreciated the honesty bar with snacks

Andrew, United States of America

The location is great, close to the airport and easy to find. We arrived late at night and left in the morning, so didn't get a chance to explore the property or the city. For a one-night stopover it was great. We also didn't interact much with the staff, so can't comment on that. The facilities are good. No luxury, but clean and safe. Breakfast was good, cooked, and with a small buffet. Wifi is fast and reliable. Good value for the money.

Christian, Germany

Nice rooms, big and clean. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Andrew, United Kingdom

Had a lovely stay at First Avenue Guesthouse. Weston and his team were fantastic and offered excellent service. Central location in Summerstrand, close to beach with nice pool area on the property. All amenities available for traveling with children too. Can recommend staying if you’re visiting PE!

Nanna, Denmark

Annelies, Netherlands

Location, breakfast, clean pool, it's a value for money, privacy and its good for couples. It is also a convenient place to entertainment facilities like beach, boardwalk, museum, aquarium and restaurants.

Shumani, United Kingdom

Perfect location, central but not too central at Summerstrand. Very helpful and friendly staff, comfy rooms, excellent service. Very nice "honest bar" arrangement.
