Comfortable stay.

Home comforts away from home. It was perfect for what we needed and exceeded our expectations. Comfortable beds, warm showers, inverter in case of outages and a jacuzzi - unfortunately, it does not heat up, but perfect for summer. We felt very safe as the house is armed with perimeter beams at night. Checking in and out was effortless. Well worth it!

Comfy, peaceful and quirky.

Hibiscus House is a fully equipped home from home in a quiet street close to everything. It's a beautifully renovated old wood-and-iron Settler home, with every conceivable modern convenience. The decor is lovely and the house is geared for comfort and privacy and loads of space, including a private garden with majestic trees, an outside cool-water jacuzzi and a hot-water shower. It's the perfect space for a holiday with friends and family. It doesn't have a view and it's not within walking distance from the beach, but it's a short drive from everything, including all the beaches, and a five-minute walk to the shops.

Amazing. Dit was baie lekker.

Dit was 'n baie lekker naweek. Die plek is so skoon en netjies, alles is daar wat jy benodig. Sally was heeltyd in kontak met die sleutels en alarm ens. Ons kan oor niks kla nie en ons sal beslis weer gaan en ek sal die plekkie aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat daardie kant toe gaan. Dis waarde vir jou geld en hulle bied goeie diens.

It's value for money and they offer good service.

One night stop over with our dogs on our way to the Eastern Cape. The place is pet friendly.

The venue is neat and not far from the main centre of Port Alfred, they are pet friendly but small dogs may be able to get out. Accommodation is comfortable and well-equipped.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at Hibiscus House. It exceeded our expectations by far. Stylish, full of character, safe and convenient location. Highly recommend a stay here.

Our stay at Hibiscus house was amazing from start to finish. Our booking process was smooth and easy. With constant fast communication from our great host Sally. The house itself is a pleasant surprise and exceeded our expectations. Spacious, super clean, comfortable and stylish. The location is so convenient and safe, close to restaurants and shops and a lovely river walk. We loved everything about our stay and highly recommend it to couples wanting a romantic getaway or families with kids. And an added bonus and a rare find for sure are that it is pet friendly. We will definitely be back.

An exceptional time in a lovely place.

Hibiscus House truly is an amazing place, despite its unassuming appearance. As a group we loved our stay and the amenities it offered in a quiet little part of Port Alfred. I would highly recommend it as the place to stay should one ever find themselves in need of a place to stay while visiting or passing through Port Alfred.

Pragtige en netjiese verblyf met baie karakter.

Ons is hartlik ontvang en huis het soveel persoonlikheid. Baie goed toegerus en uiters netjies. Lieflike kaggel en gaslampe wat mens laat terug verlang na die goeie ou dae. Klein goedjies soos strandsakke met strandhanddoeke het definitief my oog gevang. Kan dit baie sterk aanbeveel en sal definitief weer daar bly vir 'n naweek.

We were warmly received and the house has so much personality. Very well equipped and extremely tidy. Lovely fireplace and gas lamps that make you long for the good old days. Little things like beach bags with beach towels definitely caught my eye. Can highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again for a weekend.

We come down once a year for a reunion with friends to Port Alfred. It's our 2nd year staying at the Hibiscus House and we always have a such a great stay here. The house is clean, spacious and well laid out and slept 9 of us, no problem. It's a great location, close to the river and the best value for money around.

Hibiscus House is a home away from home. It is beautifully furnished and has every modern appliance one could possibly need for a long stay in the delightful coastal town of Port Alfred. My wife and I spent three nights at the venue and we highly recommend it as a venue for family holidays.

Alle geriewe het my verblyf 'n heerlike ondervinding gemaak, en die toegeruste kombuis was die kersie op die smaaklike koek.

Dit was onbeskryflik, ek is smoorverlief op die huisie!

Ek sal Hibiscus House vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Dit is 'n hartlike tuiste-weg-van-die-huis plekkie. Skoon, netjies en baie goed ingerig. Miskien kan die water van die geiser net bietjie warmer wees, veral in die winter.
