Asemrowende uitsig.

Die verblyf wat ek geneem het, was vir 'n langer verblyf - en ek sal reken mens sal lekker daar kan bly. Heerlike groot TV in die sitkamer en een ook in die kamer. Die uitsig is asemrowend mooi. Sal beslis 'n lekker verblyf wees vir 'n vakansie of lang naweek. Ek, as 'n sakereisiger, was dit te groot, maar dis my voorkeur om 'n kleiner plekkie te hê. Dit was beslis waarde vir geld. Vir die wat van braai hou - daar is lekker opsies.

Breathtaking view.

The accommodation I took was for a longer stay - and I would think you could stay there comfortably. Lovely big TV in the lounge and one in the room too. The view is breathtakingly beautiful. Would definitely be a nice stay for a holiday or long weekend. As a business traveller, I found it too big, but it's my preference to have a smaller place. It was definitely value for money. For those who like braai - there are nice options.

The BnB is perfect. You cannot go wrong.

I have made this BnB my favourite and only stayover when I'm in East London.

Great place, would highly recommend!

What a wonderful getaway! The place was easy to find, very clean and cosy, with a great view of the valley! It had all the essentials you would want with a warm, homey feel. My only regret is not booking for a longer stay!

Thank you, Warren. I appreciate the feedback. Cheers. Marius & Marcelle

Beautiful and peaceful establishment.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bells and Whistles in East London, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! My wife and I traveled from Gqeberha to attend my graduation ceremony, and from the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay. The accommodation itself was spotless, cosy, and beautifully maintained. The attention to detail was impressive, and it was clear that the owners take great pride in their property. I can't recommend this accommodation enough! If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, look no further. Thank you again for a wonderful stay - I can't wait to return! Rating: 5/5 stars!

Sal weer daar gaan bly.

Baie lekker gebly, maar het die volgende uitdagings ondervind: - Oprit na parkering baie smal en parkering self ongemaklik. - Trap na slaapklamer op 2e vloer is baie smal, maar gasvrou het ons tasse opgedra. - Geluide van aangrensende kamer was redelik hard, maar daardie gaste was tog konsidererend.

Will stay there again.

Very nice stay, but experienced the following challenges: - Driveway to parking very narrow and parking itself uncomfortable. - Stairs to bedroom on 2nd floor are very narrow, but hostess carried our bags up. - Noises from adjacent room were quite loud, but those guests were considerate.

Peaceful, enjoyable and quality accommodation.

Neat, calm and in a quiet location that allows for peace and restfulness. Stand-by power a bonus during load shedding.

Baie aangenaam en rustig.

Marchelle is baie vriendelik en het ons sommer laat tuis voel. Definitief die beste in Oos Londen, skoon, veilig, rustig en naby winkelsentrum.

I thought I was walking into a 5-star hotel. The apartment was spotless, spacious and beautifully furnished. It was more than what we expected. The area was very safe. Thank you Marcelle and Marius. Hope it's available if ever we want to visit that area again.

Never stayed at Bells and Whistles. Stayed in Room no 11. Big difference.

Really should have a little stove in the place or an electric frying pan.

Uitstekende kommunikasie deurentyd met uitsonderlike diens, meer as genoeg vir 'n selfsorgeenheid.

Het ook die privaatheid baie waardeer.

Puik. Uitstekende waarde vir jou geld.

Baie dankie vir uitstekende diens, 'n skoon en goed toegeruste eenheid. 5 Sterre en 'n lekker slapie as jy daar vertoef. Sterk aanbeveel, want alles werk en is skoon.
