Definitely our best hotel in all of South Africa! We spent three days there and would have liked to stay longer. The equipment is modern, everything is clean, the breakfast is delicious and the staff and owners are very friendly, courteous and helpful. We received comprehensive help with any concerns. The hotel has 14 rooms, which is why everything can be individually designed. We can really recommend the hotel to everyone. Many thanks again to Kevin, Gale and also Justice.

Everything was perfect. We came and were taken care of the best host in the world: Kevin the owner made us feel like a family member. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left everyone in this place was helpful and friendly. Justice the concierge is always reachable through WhatsApp and makes sure you’re getting everywhere you want to go safely. The breakfast has a huge variety of everything you can think of and a menu to order even more delicious things. Unbelievably good ! Gayle and Kevin spent every night talking to us, which was amazing after a long working day. They even helped us with medical issues and recommended nice restaurants. We had wonderful treatments at the spa and enjoyed the heated pool a lot. After all it was the best stay on this 3 week trip and we were sad when we had to leave. A last kiss goodbye 💋 and hope to see you again in the future.

What a wonderful surprise! Great hotel really close to airport. Manager was so friendly and helpful, really went out of her way to welcome us. We had a lovely comfy room, great bathroom. Loved the space theme throughout the hotel. Hotel owners on site were so pleasant to chat with & really genuine about making sure we were enjoying our stay. We had a very early departure next day so could not do breakfast justice but there was a really good selection to choose from. The owner very kindly dropped us to the airport for our flight. We really had great service and would highly recommend this hotel for short or long stays. It’s a great location, close to airport and also very close to some really good restaurants and very nice beaches.

Nothing !

Even though we only stayed for one night after our day safari, we were so warmly welcomed with open arms. We were granted an early check-in and a late check-out which very much facilitated our travels. The staff as well as the owners were more than kind and attentive. It felt very personal. They really went above and beyond making sure all our wishes were fulfilled and our stay was as comfortable as possible. The hotel also includes a heated pool, jacuzzi and Spa where they organized a very short notice massage treatment for my stiff neck I was struggling with. The breakfast buffet offered everything and more. Thank you for everything!

Our experience at Nova Boutique Hotel was exceptionally enjoyable. From the warm reception that greeted us upon arrival to the insightful introduction to the hotel's concept, the attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcomed. The breakfast was a standout feature of our stay. Offering a diverse selection, the quality of the food and its presentation were impressive, setting a positive tone for the day. Our room was cozy and thoughtfully arranged, with the staff anticipating and catering to our needs. Small touches like Lindt balls and a variety of coffee and tea options added to the overall pleasant ambiance. The hotel's modest fitness studio met our requirements perfectly, providing a convenient way to stay active during our stay. The staff members were consistently motivated and friendly, contributing significantly to our positive experience. A special mention goes to the owner of the hotel, with whom we had a delightful conversation about the hotel's background and passion. Overall, our stay at Nova Boutique Hotel was delightful, and we wholeheartedly recommend it. We look forward to returning for another visit.

Justice, the concierge, is an absolute credit to the business. Friendly, warm and knowledgeable, no ask was too much. The team are incredibly proud of this hotel and it really shows. This hotel is like none that we've ever stayed at. Loved the space theme and think it really works and makes the hotel stand out and be unique. I think this could be carried through to the pool area which still felt still under construction. The breakfast options were the best of all the hotels we stayed at in South Africa. The facilities, including a gym and heated pool, were brilliant. The owners seemed very involved in the day to day, which some people might find a little intense. You don't hear the airport at all despite it being 5 minutes away.

There are definitely some things to work on hence only scoring 8/10. The toilet seat was broken, the shower leaked, on one day the breakfast was a little slow, and we could not shower on our final day due to temporamental hot water. So although this hotel massively exceeded our expectations in most regards, and we would return and recommend, it also missed the mark on some of the basics. The balcony looks onto someone's garden.

Very friendly and lovely hosts and staff. Such a nice people and extremely helpful and service oriented. Got some really great tips for activities and restaurants around. We were able to check in much earlier than planned to be able to refresh before exploring outside again. Hotel and the rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated. Choice of different pillow types in the room was a nice touch. Modern and comfy atmosphere. Large warm water pool. Many options for breakfast, and quick laundry service. We will definitely come back here when in the area again.

Only improvement would be the power circuits, the room electric power sockets didn’t have power and after being turned on I think the fuse switched off again. Possible to many appliances per group.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel clearly loved by it's owners. Our rooms were lovely. Big, tastefully decorated with clean well appointed bathrooms. The rooms were supplied with coffee, tea and a fridge. Although there is not a dinner restaurant on site we were given plenty of recommendations as to where to eat and all were fantastic. They were happy to arrange a taxi for us as it is just outside the centre. It is very close to the airport but we never heard any planes. The breakfast room and food were superb with a huge choice. We also made use of the spa with a relaxing massage. Would definitely choose to stay again.

The bar area was not particularly welcoming. This may however be more due to the hotel being quiet so may have more atmosphere when busier.

Charming family run boutique hotel very close to the airport. The family are heavily involved in d2d from airport pickup (free shuttle service) to serving breakfast and carrying heavy suitcases up the stairs. Nothing was too much trouble. We only had the luxury of staying 1 night but would certainly return. Justice on reception is a real credit to business. Charming, eloquent and professional. The building is fairly new and was undergoing some light Reno when we visited (a new outdoor jacuzzi is incoming). We tried the heated pool but it wasn't hot enough for us as too windy outside. We didn't try the spa facilities. Everywhere was clean and the attention to detail was noticeable everywhere from the aerospace theme everywhere to the usb ports by the bed to charge your phone.

We had a 2 bedroom family suite plus an executive room for 6 people. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The living area in the family suite had a large sofa that we chilled on after long days out exploring. The beds were comfortable and the choice of pillows was a real luxury. The staff were very nice and accommodating and made my mother in laws 70th birthday extra special. The breakfast was fresh and tasty.

The hotel is close the airport and not walking distance to the main Port Elizabeth area. It’s not really walkable around. It’s a small point as Uber is quick and cheap but a consideration when no lunch or dinner is available at the hotel unless ordered in advance.
