Ons het baie lekker gekuier en het die gasvryheid en pragtige uitsig geniet.

Rob en Marianne was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hulle het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf aangenaam te maak. Die ontbyt en skoonmaakdiens was fantasties.

Oornagverblyf in Port Alfred.

Ons het een nag oorgeslaap en die omgewing verken, insluitende 'n besoek aan Bathurst. Die verblyf is baie goed, met die enigste nadeel die lang stel trappe vanaf die motorhuis na die woonstel. Die eienaar het egter gehelp om ons tasse te dra.

Overnight stay in Port Alfred.

We stayed one night and explored the area, including a visit to Bathurst. The accommodation is very good, with the only downside being the long set of stairs from the garage to the apartment. However, the owner helped carry our bags.

Wonderlike vinnige kuiertjie. Ons het die lekkerste ontbyt gehad! Pragtige uitsig en die oulikste dassies wat rond hardloop en in die son lê.

Ons was in Port Alfred vir die ECCU paddling marathons. Panorama was die perfekte plek om te bly. Vriendelike en hulpvaardige kliëntediens en 'n baie gemaklike kamer. Ons het die heerlikste ontbyt ontvang reg by ons kamer en kon dit geniet met die pragtige uitsig voor ons. Die dassies was 'n hoogtepunt! Hulle baljaar vreeslik lekker in die tuin en laat jou naby aan die natuur voel.

We were in Port Alfred for the ECCU paddling marathons. Panorama was the perfect place to stay. Friendly and helpful customer service and a very comfortable room. We received the most delicious breakfast right in our room and could enjoy it with the beautiful view in front of us. The ties were a highlight! They have a great time frolicking in the garden and make you feel close to nature.

Very nice stay and great service.

On a safety point. Parking on the street is a problem as a aerial was removed with damaged to my vehicle. One other thing but not essential was the selection of TV channels.

Panorama Guest House 's response

Hi Keith Thanks for the positive comments. I'm sorry to hear about your aerial. This is the first time we've had an incident like this. A pity we didn't know sooner as we could have checked on the CCTV. Were you on the verge facing the gate or in front of the garage? We DO have an issue with parking when it comes to the larger cars. Our biggest garage is unfortunately cluttered as Rob has been doing woodwork. We'll endeavour to get this cleared ASAP! As far as the TV channels are concerned we have the accommodation bouquet as we can't afford to offer full DSTV for the guests. Warm regards, Marianne

HI Marie,
Thanks for the positive review. We are very sorry about your loud neighbours. This is a problem and we do try to address this to the point of being berated by the ones who're making the noise! Sound does travel, especially at night. Our plan this year is to convert a room upstairs, which has a lovely outlook, to a guest room. We shall then be able to use rooms 1 and 2 together as a family room or for friends travelling together and that should obviate the noise issue to a certain extent, seeing that those 2 rooms are alongside each other. Best regards, Marianne
