Lovely rooms, beautiful view, fantastic accommodation.

I stayed for one night and had to leave early the next morning, but the guesthouse provided a snack pack since breakfast starts at 7:00. What a wonderful gesture! My room was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything I needed, including filter coffee—such a nice touch to end the day. The view from my balcony was breathtaking. Thank you for the lovely hospitality and the fantastic accommodations!

Pragtige gastehuis met die mooiste uitsig oor die rivier.

Met ons aankoms was ons baie vriendelik ontvang deur die gasvrou, Toni. Toni is dierbaar en het elke oggend seker gemaak ons is gelukkig en tevrede. Die Protea kamer is pragtig en het 'n baie mooi uitsig oor die rivier. Die kamer is netjies en baie goed ingerig met allerhande ekstras om 'n mens se verblyf spesiaal en gemaklik te maak. Ons het heerlik geslaap, die omgewing is lekker stil en veilig. Die beddegoed was van goeie kwaliteit en ons het elke dag skoon handdoeke ontvang. Elke oggend se ontbyt was heerlik. Ons sal die gastehuis beslis aanbeveel en weer daar oorbly.

Beautiful guest house with the most beautiful view over the river.

Upon our arrival, we were very kindly received by the hostess, Toni. Toni is lovely and every morning made sure we were happy and content. The Protea room is beautiful and has a very nice view of the river. The room is neat and very well furnished with all kinds of extras to make one's stay special and comfortable. We slept wonderfully, the environment is nice and quiet and safe. The bedding was of good quality and we received clean towels every day. Every morning's breakfast was delicious. We would definitely recommend the guest house and stay there again.

A gem in Beacon Bay.

Our stay was very comfortable and the service and care was excellent. Our room was serviced daily by friendly staff. The view of the river is stunning, yet the location of the guesthouse is conveniently close to shops and the beach (5 minutes drive).

Fantasiese plek, mooi en uiters skoon en netjies. Die gasheer is baie professioneel en ontbyt is heerlik. Ek sal die plek hoog aanbeveel.

Die inboektyd word gegee as tussen 14h00 en 20h00 maar ek het baie laat klaargekry met my werk en was nog 150 km weg van die gastehuis. Ek het Andre geskakel en laat weet dat ek dalk na 20h00 daar sal wees. Hy was baie vriendelik en het gesê dat ek enige tyd kan inkom. Ek was baie vriendelik ontvang al was dit na 21h00 en die kamer was 'n welkome gesig na die lang dag. Die plek was heerlik stil, skoon en baie netjies en die ontbyt was uit die boeke en ek kan dit regtig aanbeveel. Dankie Andre! Ek sal weer daar kom slaap, julle is puik.

Fantastic place, beautiful and extremely clean and tidy. The host is very professional and breakfast is delicious. I would highly recommend the place.

The check-in time is given as between 14h00 and 20h00 but I finished my work very late and was still 150 km away from the guest house. I called Andre and let him know that I might be there after 20h00. He was very friendly and said that I could come in anytime. I was received very kindly even though it was after 21h00 and the room was a welcome sight after the long day. The place was wonderfully quiet, clean and very tidy and the breakfast was out of the books and I can really recommend it. Thanks Andre! I will come to sleep there again, you guys are great.

Uistekend!!! Sal weer hierdie gastehuis besoek.

Wonderlike, vriendelike ontvangs vir twee moeë reisigers. Ons het ook 'n sleepwa gehad, wat hulle help afhak het en geen probleem met parkering. Die kamers, pragtig netjies met WiFi-fasiliteit en alle geriewe van muurproppe vir selfone en haardroër. Groot was my verbasing toe ek ondervind dat daar filterkoffie in die kamer is met 'n plunger en al en nie net kits koffiesakkies nie. Die kamers en decor modern en pragtig en die uitsig oor die Nahoon-rivier uitstaande. Stil en veilige omgewing en die diens uitstaande. Ontbyt heerlik en smaakvol voorberei. Ons sal definitief weer hierdie gastehuis besoek vir die huislike en vriendelike diens. Dankie André die gasheer wat sy persoonlike stempel afdruk en bygedra het tot 'n wonderlike 2 dae ervaring.

Wonderful, friendly welcome for two weary travelers. We also had a trailer, which helped them hitch up and no problem with parking. The rooms, beautifully tidy with WiFi facility and all amenities from wall plugs for mobile phones and hair dryer. Great was my surprise when I found that there was filter coffee in the room with a plunger and all and not just instant coffee bags. The rooms and decor modern and beautiful and the view over the Nahoon river outstanding. Quiet and safe environment and the service outstanding. Breakfast delicious and tastefully prepared. We will definitely visit this guest house again for the homely and friendly service. Thank you André the host who left his personal mark and contributed to a wonderful 2 day experience.
