Baie aangenaam en vriendelik ontvang.

Baie gesellig, mooi uitsig oor die hawe maklik om te kry en baie restaurante in die omgewing.

Very disappointed.

Nothing special. No secure parking for residents. Nobody told us to book for breakfast. Left without breakfast. No or poor toiletries. Other visitors made so much noise we could not sleep. Bad experience.

Dit was wonderlik! Baie gasvry en die ontbyt 10/10.

Het Port Alfred besoek om aftree-woning te koop maar was nie baie suksesvol nie.

It was wonderful! Very hospitable and the breakfast was 10/10.

Visited Port Alfred to buy a retirement home, but it wasn't very successful.

Netjies, skoon en pragtige uitsig. Baie gerieflik.

Netjies, skoon en pragtige uitsig. Ons was egter 'n klein bietjie teleurgesteld toe ons op aankoms ingelig is, dat ons bespreekte kamers verander is. Met 2 kinders (onderskeidelik 23 en 14 jaar oud), moes ons maar slaapreëlings verander, na Pa en seun en Ma en dogter. Die 2 kamers was ook op verskillende vloere.

Neat, clean and beautiful view. Very convenient.

Neat, clean and beautiful view. However, we were a little disappointed when we were informed on arrival that our booked rooms had been changed. With 2 children (respectively 23 and 14 years old), we just had to change sleeping arrangements, to Father and son and Mother and daughter. The 2 rooms were also on different floors.

Ons het heerlik gebly!

Ons was 9 mense, het die hele huis vir onsself gehad. Pat was baie tegemoetkomend, sy het gereeld vir ons idees gegee van waar ons kan heen gaan en wat om te doen. Die huis self was nie baie skoon nie, as jy kaalvoet geloop het was jou voete pikswart. Pat het ons toegelaat om "self catering" te bly. Sy het vir ons bordspeletjies gebring en 'n cooler box geleen. Ons almal het 'n heerlike tyd gehad. Die uitsig was asemrowend. Die huis is bietjie ver van die strand af, redelike stewige stappie om op die strand te kom. Als in ag genome, heerlike vakansie gewees.

We had a wonderful stay!

We were 9 people, had the whole house to ourselves. Pat was very accommodating, she often gave us ideas of where to go and what to do. The house itself was not very clean, if you walked barefoot your feet were pitch black. Pat allowed us to stay "self catering". She brought us board games and lent us a cooler box. We all had a lovely time. The view was breathtaking. The house is a bit far from the beach, quite a steep walk to get to the beach. All in all, it was a lovely holiday.

Netjiese ruim kamer met pragtige uitsig.

Ons was bevoorreg om 'n kamer kry wat baie ruim is met aantrek- en badkamer apart en 'n houtdek met tafel en stoele vanwaar ons die uitsig kon waardeer. Die kamer het 'n groot venster wat oopskuif na die houtdek toe. Die kombuis waar ons koffie kon maak, is buite die kamer. Enigste probleem, jy het nie 'n privaat ingang na die kamer nie, jy moet deur die huis tussen ander gaste deur na jou kamer. Inteendeel, daar is slegs een toegangsdeur wat alle gaste moet gebruik. Ontbyt is nie ingesluit by jou verblyf soos wat genoem word nie.

Neat spacious room with beautiful view.

We were fortunate to get a room that was very spacious with dressing and bathroom separate and a wooden deck with table and chairs from which we could appreciate the view. The room has a large window that opens onto the wooden deck. The kitchen where we could make coffee is outside the room. Only problem, you don't have a private entrance to the room, you have to go through the house between other guests to your room. On the contrary, there is only one entrance door that all guests must use. Breakfast is not included in your stay as mentioned.
