The room was neat and tidy, very quiet surroundings even though the other rooms are right next to you. We got to the guesthouse, called the number and someone swiftly opened for us, and showed us to the room. There is a small kitenchenette with the basics that make sit nice for a meal on the go. The aircon was such a nice feature as it was scourching hot in town that day. The swimming pool was also nice and clean, with seating area and patch of grass.

The property has REAL issues with parking. Firstly, I forgot to reserve a parking after we made the booking, so we did not have a parking space on the premises for the night for our vehicle, which is quite a concern in SA these days. I don't understand why they just make it, first come, first served. Or sell a parking along with a room. Anyway, we arrived with a Ford Ranger bakkie which would not have fitted inside the parking even if we had reserved one. The space is much too small for a bakkie or SUV. This is the only worrying point when booking with this gesuthouse so make sure to reserve the parking if there are still left.

Easy self check in, comfortable bed and sheets. Everything you need for a short trip, small cooking area, kettle, glasses, cutlery, helpful area guide with good recommendations.

The shower did have some issues suddenly getting hotter/colder mid shower

We needed a place close to the Two Oceans Marathon and this was perfect. Good location for the eastern and southern areas to visit. Great park around and quiet area. Was really lovely. Can recommend 😉

A minor suggestion made for the shower in the unit we stayed but otherwise very very nice to stay 😃

Everything was amazing, the room was really clean and cozy. The location is very convenient and the staff and host are more than accommodating. I loved the fact that they respect your space and that the small essential items such as soap, coffee, sugars and salt are provided. I loved experiencing such a quiet, relaxing few days and will definitely be returning 😊😊😊

There was nothing to dislike, I was just disappointed by the weather as I was really looking forward to using the swimming pool 🥲

everything else was good.

I did not like that some of my white towels were dirty when I first got there. Please properly check your towels before putting them in the rooms.

Super cute tiny property, well maintained. The biggest positive point was definitely the host Guislaine who even introduced us to her friends!! Thank you <3

We really wanted to rate our stay a 10/10 but the cleaning lady never came to our room for the entire stay (so never changed towels or linen and our trash started to be too important) and the pool guy didn’t come for 3 days so there was a lot of sand in the pool :/

I love everything about selton Guest House there really isn't much to complain about going to book another stay with them

The cleaning lady didn't always do her job properly and the water pressure from hot to cold need work there's no happy medium at least in unit no 1.

I liked how clean and private the property is. They have a beautiful back garden. Its peaceful and quiet.

The pool wasn't clean and it was the main reason I was there. The host was not very welcoming she just showed us to our room and that was it. We had a few questions which we asked the caretaker. When we left we were uncertain of where to leave the key as there were no instructions or staff that thanked us for our stay. In the discription it states toiletries would be provided but there was a small piece of soap and a small toothpaste for 1 person and we were 2. Luckily I brought my own just incase. There are hangers in the cuboard but no hanging compartment. A small hairdryer would be great to have in one of the draws since people are swimming or showering and would like to dry my hair before I go to bed.
