Absolutely stunning!! This is a complete hidden gem in East London. My partner and I arrived after a long journey and were welcomed by Morgan, who had stayed up late for our arrival like an absolute champ. We arrived super late in the evening but luckily could grab dinner at a nearby restaurant. I also loved that the room was equipped with load shedding bulbs so we could still make our way in the dark - also, the views from the balcony were gorgeous in full daylight the next day. It also had a double shower and really good water pressure, a sweet little bonus feature that I wasn't expecting. Overall, decently priced and a treat to visit.

The parking was kind of horrible. We may have booked at a bad time, it definitely is holiday season! but there wasn't enough bays for all the guests and as a result, we had to park someones car in. This suuuuucked because the next morning we were woken up at 6:00am to move the car - not great after driving all the way from Cape Town.

Great location, amazing views of the ocean and the staff also did an exceptional job. Would highly recommend for an overnight stay or for a few days. Great value for money too!

The Wi-Fi connection was horrible during the time I was there. The door to my room couldn't lock from outside, so I had to leave the place unlocked, if I stepped out. Apart from that, no complaints.

The peace and tranquility of the place.

The mattress is not as firm as I like it. There is no lace curtain for the sliding door / windows so when one needs privacy inside the room one has to close the full curtains and it becomes dark and the view is blocked. It's difficult to leave the curtains open because people pass on from of the rooms. There's no space between the sink and the shower in Room 3 where I stayed.

The staff are very friendly, excellent customer service. But I noticed that the were two employees doing everything for such a big place. I don't think labour would approve of this. I would advice the owner gets and additional employee for smooth running. I do not think those employees get enough rest.

Employees are hard workers. It would be bad to lose them through over burden or burnout.

I liked that there was wifi the bed was comfortable the room was very nice. I did have a good time but I was just abit disappointed.

We had neighbors that went against the rules and had loud music playing whole night whole morning. You guys mention that there is a restaurant there but there wasn't.. The wifi was super slow, loadshedding came out of nowhere we weren't warned about that. I asked for breakfast but never got it, seems like it wasn't brought up cause the receptionist guy thought we there for a night but we booked two nights.

I liked everything about the place we even suggested coming back for her birthday as she enjoyed the place , area and the warmth of the stuff.

The shower area that gets wet as you are busy is sort of a hazard as chances of tripping and hurting one self are very high. the down side of leaving a towel of the floor is the stuffiness that prevails after you have used it to dry the floor . we struggled to locate the smell until my girlfriend took it outside and we were able to sleep without the stuffy smell.. We also had a challenge with a noise as the guy above us was not respecting others , he kept making noise with his company and there was no one to talk to him.

Not only was the room and property nicely decorated, it was also safe, secure and VERY clean. Clean linen - even at some of the big hotels (which I won’t name; I travel a lot for work) - seems to be rare nowadays in the hospitality sector. Thank you so much: we both struggle with allergies and your linen was very clean.

Thankfully, nothing: the staff and patrons were all lovely and I hope it stays that way because we plan on returning here to this quiet corner of East London.

Views, well received reception, hot shower, comfy bed, tv programs(Netflix, YouTube etc) the location (gives nature vibes), close to the beach too, away from the city but there's complexes around. Just perfect for a relaxing getaway

Nothing everything was perfect.

Very close to Bonza Bay, it took us 7mins to reach the beach and a whole lot of convinient food places also very quiet, homely and a very safe neighbor hood.

Load shedding was such a bore, green energy would make this place a super perfect holiday spot.
