Thank you Ben for all your effort with my grandchildren's get-togethers on the weekends. Sincerely appreciate it. Will definitely visit Bluewater Beach House again.

Hi Ben,
Yes, I remember you were unhappy with several issues that you brought to my attention. Some of the issues were unavoidable at the time as we were full but have since dealt with them and thank you for having brought it to my attention. I do apologize for your unhappy stay. Regards Ben.

It was very short, due to the Level 3 restriction, but nice.
Ben gave us a warm welcome Despite the lockdown regulations the room was very clean and comfortable. He offered us a bigger room than we booked at no extra cost. We also left a day earlier than our reservation, and he had no problem with that.

Very nice and quiet.
I don't want to criticize the place but there are 2 things that bother me, although their towels are very clean they are very old and the ones we had had holes in them and frayed along the edges. With the severe water shortage in Port Elizabeth, they should look at the hot water supply. It takes a long time for the hot water to reach the taps because the geyser is very far away from the rooms. A lot of water is wasted here.

The sea view was fantastic from the unit.
The place is beautiful. Just needs some TLC. The sofas are old and uncomfortable. Some of the power points are not working. It really needs upgrading. The stairs leading to the unit also need attention as one plank was broken. Other than that it was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend the place especially if they renovate it a bit.

Furnished for overnight stays only.
Unit very small, space very limited. Wash 2 days without hot water in shower, no containers or hooks in shower for washcloths, soap and towels. Could also have more shelves in closet for clothes etc. No air conditioning or fan in unit. The unit was very neat and clean, can recommend it for single person.

Misleading.
It's not a room with a seaview! That's the name of the place and is misleading. What we liked: Place is neat. What we didn't like: No sea view except through the kitchen window. Entrance to the room is through a narrow corridor between garbage cans and water tanks. Every time someone turns on a faucet or flushes a toilet, a water pump comes on at one tank 3 meters from the door with a noise. The TV is by the door. Had to close door to muffle noise. No place in shower to put soap down. Toilet needs a service. Makes a hell of a noise when it flushes. Knives are broken. Lift is loose. Only three different glasses available. Braaikettle was very dirty, if you want photos, just ask. Would I go again? No. The website should evaluate places before advertising them.

We expected more but it was a bed and a shower. Enough for one night's sleepover.
Would not recommend the room for more than one night stay. Bed takes up entire room space and the space outside is cramped.

definitely not what we expected! very disappointing at the cost we had to pay. no tea or coffee and NO DRINKING WATER! we had to make a special trip to buy water. I must say that the reception was at least nice and gave us coffee and sugar bags after we expressed our displeasure. had to walk through the day's laundry to get through to us and there was an outside light on that was on all night. it was like day in the room! the sofa was so old, I almost sat on the floor and my husband had to help me up! no what not again

Nice close to the sea.
We had the three bedroom apartment. Beautiful spacious rooms. Nice clean. I would suggest that you just please look at your bedding and mattresses. Bed linen, for example the duvet cover and duvet itself do not even fit on the bed at all. Totally too small for the size bed. Bed linen a bit old. Furthermore, we really enjoyed our stay there. You have a nice place, take a good look at it. Would recommend the place to stay.

The room described as Room with a view is actually a very small room with no view..
For a one-night stay I might recommend it, but for a weekend or longer it might become inconvenient. You have to stand outside the place to be able to see even a partial view of nature or the sea. Fortunately, the agent upgraded us to a bigger and better unit which, in my opinion, offered a better "VIEW" and space for relaxation, the reason for my 5 star rating for customer service.

Not recommended if owner is not there himself.
I would not recommend the place at all if the manager vouches for the owner. She was severely disabled and the guest house is run like a hostel in that you have to check in and out and let them know what time you will be at the guest house in the evening. Breakfast and DStv are listed on the LekkeSlaap, but she said in so many words that she doesn't really make breakfast and it will work out cheaper for me if I make my own breakfast. (There are no restaurants/coffee shops in the area for breakfast, only takeaways) and between 4 guests they only offer DStv Dual View and expect the guests to see for themselves. Also, the bathtub was full of hair, there were no bins in the room for disposal and the place was not cleaned as indicated on the website. Privacy is also taboo seeing as the manager and the caretaker walk in as they see fit, whether you're still in your pjs or not.
