We expected better from the place itself but are grateful for the good service.
It's perfect if you're alone and have to spend the night for work, but I wouldn't recommend it for vacation. The room is small, the bathroom is small, little space to move and the braai facilities are far from your own place. The outside air at the jacuzzi does not work at all.

Hospitality was great. The place is very peaceful and you can relax very nicely in the garden, braai area and around the pool. The rooms have a very romantic feel so I would recommend it for a married couple or two people who just need an affordable romantic getaway.

Incredibly cheap 5 star accommodation. The entire guest house is very luxurious. Owners very friendly and make you feel at home immediately.
As a plus, the owners also run a small animal rehabilitation program. It was a wonderful experience to see the animals and birds and especially how much compassion and love they have for the animals. Very pleasant owners and very pleasant guest house to stay. Definitely recommend it.

Translate to English.
It was not convenient in terms of kitchen as it is advertised as self-catering, you are not on your own.
I was not impressed at all. The kitchen must be shared with all the guests even if you stay in the Garden Room which is not in the house at all. Bed linen was not the cleanest I have ever experienced and did not smell fresh at all. Beds in the Garden Room are also terribly uncomfortable. The house itself inside the front room is not clean and fresh to me either. When you pay that much money you want convenience. Not necessarily luxury. Bathroom in the Garden Room also has no doors. It is mostly couples who stay there and like everyone, you are looking for some privacy.

Goblin's Creek 's response
Dear Bianca,
If you were unhappy with anything you had only to ask. The garden rooms are only 4 months old and have fresh new crisp white linen and brand new beds and mattresses, however, if they were not up to your standard you were welcome to let me know, I would have been more than happy to change them. Our description of our kitchen on the site reads “The fully equipped communal kitchen at the manor house, as well as all other amenities, are at your disposal”. Our rooms are all open planned as we presume that everybody bringing a partner away are a couple. Should you want some privacy in the toilet you were shown a private toilet for your use. As for paying so much, I feel that R 400 per person is an absolute steal for staying at Goblins Creek, however, we travel extensively and realise that to spend a night in an establishment like Goblins Creek will set you back at least R 1500 per person usually.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you so much for taking the time to send us your thoughts and kind words. You will be pleased to know that we have now added 2 beautiful garden rooms that both have showers and DStv, but still retain our “Olde World” charm and décor. They also both look out onto the stunning back garden and you can see all our wonderful 4 legged furry and feathered family roaming around, love to see you again.

Dear Jolindi,
If you would have taken a look at the advert in which you made your booking through, you would have noticed that we have no TV’s at Goblins Creek and that we offer a free self-help breakfast of cereals, teas and coffees, and that it is a self-catering establishment. The pictures of the beautiful open plan bathrooms adjoining the bedrooms with ball and claw baths in each are clearly displayed on the site as well. You were also shown a private toilet to use if you so wished.
St Helena Bay is a pretty little fishing village, hence the fishing factory. All this is clearly shown and stated on both this website and on Google.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Dear Adele, let me try and explain, you paid R 700.00 for 2 people sharing, because you chose the cheapest room, that is R 350.00 each. The other people that were staying paid R 450.00 for the more expensive rooms and then paid R 50.00 extra for a cooked breakfast. You however. did not but we still offered you a choice of 3 cereals free of charge. You chose the: “Verlate plek waar jy nie naby winkels is nie” not I. Unfortunately we can not be responsible for your choice in areas. The milk was in the fridge.
