Orderly and peaceful.

A very good environment for unwinding and destressing.

Verskriklik lekker.

Die woonstel is lekker naby aan die strand. Dit is loopafstand vir die wat nie wil rondry nie. Dit is regtig 'n lekker woonstel vir 'n gesin met kinders. Ek beveel dit beslis aan en kan nie wag vir ons volgende kuier nie.

Terribly delicious.

The apartment is nice and close to the beach. It is walking distance for those who don't want to drive around. It is a really nice apartment for a family with children. I definitely recommend it and can't wait for our next visit.

Not great!

The stay was good. With the walk, it all seems very nice and neat. Then you get into bed and see the sheets ripped! The kitchen was dirty, the stove and oven! Utensils are very old and need to be in the bin. Not so happy!

Excellent holiday destination for a family.

In future, the guests need to know if the apartment will be overlooking the ocean or Kowieriver or none of the 2. Another set of keys with remote will increase the convenience. 11 out of 10, regardless of these minor issues.

Good day Kenneth,
Thank you very much for your sterling review and valuable suggestions. It was our honor hosting you and your family and we hope to welcome you, and yours back in the near future.

It is not a good place for friends vacation because they don't allow music.

Doesn't allow you to be yourselves you have to whisper when you speak.

The Grand Yellow Port Alfred 's response

Good day, Noxolo

While we always welcome polite constructive feedback, we do feel that this feedback is unfair, especially since our published policy indicates that no loud music or parties are allowed to ensure that all our guests get a restful holiday. You were well aware of this policy when you booked the accommodation.
It was our pleasure to host you and we hope to do so again in the near future when you want to come down for a relaxing holiday spend right on the beachfront of one of our countries most pristine beaches.
Kindest regards, Monica and the whole Bright Ivory Team.

Great for a family holiday

The unit is a great space for a family holiday. Living spaces are large enough to accommodate a family of 4. The unit is neat and secure. Unfortunately only accessible by a staircase. The complex seem secure and is accessible by remote control gate. All though the unit is not sea facing, the beach is a few 100m from the beach and about 500m from the pier and restaurants.

Good day Gerard,

Thank you very much for your great review. It was our pleasure hosting you and we hope to welcome you back in the near future.

May the sun always shine for you.

The person owning the flats was very rude and unavailable to assist us in anything we needed. That was very disappointing.

It's a very nice and cosy place, the price is located near a beach in a safe area. Accommodation was very clean, but you need to supply more toilet paper for large groups of people.

The Grand Yellow Port Alfred 's response

Good day,
While we always value feedback and our guests happiness is our top priority we feel that this review is just a little harsh.
I am sorry that you felt I was rude after confirming that you would be arriving at 13:00 and I arranged for the housekeeper to be in at 06:00 to have everything ready for you. And then only arriving after 19:00 when no prior arrangements were made. I clearly indicated to you the day prior to you stay with us that should you wish to book in later to please let me know and I could arrange an agent. This, however, was not done.
To then leave the unit in the state that you did, was also not very respectful to the property of others. Bedside table lamps were broken, glasses was broken, the list goes on. Please keep little things in mind should you ever wish to book accommodation with another establishment, as the state of this unit when I walked in there 10 minutes after your departure was quite shocking.
Kindest regards,
Monica

Ons het baie lekker gebly!

Die woonstel is loopafstand vanaf die see, is mooi ruim, netjies en skoon en het 'n goed toegeruste kombuis. Ons sal definitief weer hier wil kom bly!

Was gerieflik en kon lekker ontspan.

Alles was lekker en gerieflik. Loop afstand van die strand af en mens voel baie veilig. Almal om ons het gebraai maar ons kon nie. Sou nog lekkerder wees as ons ook kon braai. Verder sal ek die plek enige tyd aanbeveel.

Was comfortable and could relax.

Everything was nice and comfortable. Walking distance from the beach and one feels very safe. Everyone around us was grilling but we couldn't. Would be even nicer if we could grill too. Furthermore, I would recommend the place anytime.

Heerlik gerus en langs die strand gestap.

Ons het die klein dingetjies baie waardeer soos seep en suiker wat beskikbaar was by aankoms. Hierdie plekke is gerieflik naby en ons kon elke dag vroeg- en laatmiddag met die kinders op die strand gaan stap. Ons het regtig heerlik gerus.

Relax and walk along the beach.

We really appreciated the little things like soap and sugar that were available on arrival. These places are conveniently close and we could go for a walk with the children on the beach every day in the early and late afternoon. We really had a wonderful rest.

Nothing grand about the Grand Yellow.

Although this accommodation had a friendly host and great location, the facility and decor left much to be desired. The only decent room was the main bedroom which was well decorated and well lit. The bathroom though newly renovated had a blocked drain and no exterior ventilation. The sleeper couch in the living room was in reality only a thin foam mattress on the floor. This apartment does not have a sea view and the lack of padlock for the security door made us feel very unsafe. Overall, although the host was very charming and saw to the blocked drain immediately, we did not feel it was good value for money.

The Grand Yellow Port Alfred 's response

Good day Colleen,

Thank you for your review, we value your feedback. We have in fact ordered daybeds for the lounge which will hopefully be arriving this soon. With the busy festive season we could not receive these before the start of the season, so we are ever improving our facility. The complex itself is very safe and we have never felt the need for extra security with it having a glass security door at the bottom as well, but we would make a padlock available for future guests should they require one.

Thank you again for your response.
