Ons was op pad terug vanaf Port Alfred en Alexandria van 'n begrafnis.

Welkom en warm ontvang. Groot, luuks en ruim eenheid met alles wat jy nodig het. 2x TV's, WiFi, rustig, stil en privaat met in-en-uitgaan soos ons dit nodig het. Sal beslis weer daar oornag. Naby geleë aan al die heerlike eetplekke en Casino. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike nagrus.

Heerlik gebly; baie gerieflike verblyf; baie netjies en skoon; baie vriendelike diens; lekker naby strand en Boardwalk Winkelsentrum.

Ek, my vrou en ons drie tiener kinders het die vier dae by 5 Folkestone ongelooflik geniet. Die diens was uitstekend en toe ons motor se battery pap was op die oggend waarop ons moes huistoe gaan (Paas Sondag), het die bestuur van 5 Folkestone uit hul pad gegaan om ons te help en op Paas Sondag deur Port Elizabeth te ry op soek na 'n oop battery sentrum om seker te maak dat ons op die pad kon kom. Ons sal verseker weer kom kuier!

Great stay; very comfortable accommodation; very neat and clean; very friendly service; nice close to beach and Boardwalk Shopping Center.

Me, my wife and our three teenage children really enjoyed the four days at 5 Folkestone. The service was excellent and when our car battery died on the morning we had to go home (Easter Sunday), the management of 5 Folkestone went out of their way to help us and drive through Port Elizabeth on Easter Sunday looking for to an open battery center to make sure we could get on the road. We will definitely visit again!

Hide-away for a family with a splendid seaview.

What a well-equipped kitchenette. Together is the best place to be: around the table or on the balcony for a meal, lounging to plan activities or braai on the balcony: all with a lovely sea view. Walking distance to the lovely Hoby beach and the Boardwalk Mall. Spacious and cosy.

Neat and clean but a bit over priced I think and bathroom doesn't work for me.

The 2nd room behind the shared bathroom is small and the beds are pushed in. Space can be better utilized with space saving furniture. The bathtub between the two rooms is silly. Wifi was very weak and slow. Barely had hot water on the first day.

Great location and setup. Welcoming hosts.

Two blocks up from the sea, central safe area in Summerstrand. Parking arranged for trailer as well. Pool on the premises. Very clean, comfortable place. Aircon was not working, fans provided however not used as safe to leave windows open and always a cool breeze blowing. Great place for an overnight stay as well as longer holidays. our rooms included all basic requirements and full size fridge/freezer which is a bonus for overnight travellers wishing to freeze drinks for the road. Great hosts providing regular detailed communication and updates.
