Relaxed, super friendly and casual elegance.

Absolutely superb! Our hosts were so warm and welcoming, and we were offered a delicious local brewed coffee and biscuits while we settled in. Rooms are spacious and the bed linen is beautiful!

We felt very welcome and Sheilan House is beautiful both inside and out.

Our room was always clean and comfortable. Much was provided for and the caretakers were always considerate, respectful and reasonable. They also know the area well and can provide you with very reliable information on both activities and places to enjoy in Port Alfred. I would definitely recommend Sheilan House to anyone looking for a place to stay at during their visit to Port Alfred. Prices are very reasonable, rooms have very good quality, food is great and caretakers are always there to help in case you need anything.

Dear Johann
It was our pleasure to host you and your mother. We hope you both enjoyed your trip down memory lane revisiting the places you went to when you lived here in Port Alfred.
We hope to see you again in the future.

Was baie lekker.

Kamers lekker ruim en goed ingerig. Baie bly daar was lugreëling in die kamer. Lieflike swembad en die ontbyt was goed. Jy sal moet ry as jy by winkels wil uitkom, maar dis steeds 'n maklike dorp om in te beweeg. Ons gasheer was baie behulpsaam en die plek word goed onderhou. Lieflike strand om sommer lang ente te gaan stap en op die walle van die rivier was ook baie goeie restaurante.

Was very nice.

Rooms are nice and spacious and well appointed. Very glad there was air conditioning in the room. Lovely pool and breakfast was good. You will have to drive if you want to get to shops, but it is still an easy town to move into. Our host was very helpful and the place is well maintained. Lovely beach to walk long distances and on the banks of the river were also good restaurants.

A wonderful stay!

We stayed for a week and it was wonderful! Beautiful rooms and Joan and Mike were very friendly! Close to the beach and walking distance to some of the restaurants. Definitely stay at Sheilan House again when in Port Alfred!

Wonderlike ervaring, vriendelik, skoon en baie netjies!

Het met 'n sleepwa gery en dit nie genoem nie. Gelukkig was daar plek vir hom. Moet dalk een van die vrae wees as mens bespreek. Verblyf was baie mooi en netjies. Het ons aandjie daar geniet!

Wonderful experience, friendly, clean and very tidy!

Drove with a trailer and didn't mention it. Luckily there was room for him. Might have to be one of the questions when discussing. Accommodation was very nice and tidy. Enjoyed our evening there!

Oornagverblyf in 'n pragtige, netjiese plek.

'n Pragtige, netjiese, skoon plek het ons begroet! Regtig baie mooi en baie behulpsame eienaars. Lekker gebly, alhoewel dit net vir een nag was.Ons kon darem so bietjie van Port Alfred gaan besigtig. Dankie vir goeie diens!

Overnight stay in a beautiful, neat place.

A beautiful, neat, clean place greeted us! Really very nice and very helpful owners. Nice stay, even though it was only for one night. At least we were able to see a bit of Port Alfred. Thanks for good service!

An outstanding 2 night, 3 day, stay.

An outstanding 2 night, 3 day stay. Our hosts, Joan and Mike could not have been more warmer or more welcoming. The room and bathroom en-suite was beautifully spacious and comfortable with all possible amenities on hand. Breakfasts and a dinner catered for all needs in a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Will definitely stay again next year!

Enjoyable stay in spacious room and bathroom.

We enjoyed our stay. We liked the spacious room and bathroom. We are used to a soft bed - so the firmer bed took some getting used to.

Welcoming and friendly, flexible approach and great breakfast.

Mike and Joan were friendly and welcoming but not at all intrusive. Lovely big bright room and bathroom with great shower, clean and tidy. Pretty flexible and accomodating with breakfast, which was very tasty. No DSTV though, which was dissapointing for the price.
