Disappointing, owners uncooperative, unreasonable and full of conflicting.

Given a room different to the one that I booked. When I queried, I was told to rather find alternate accommodation. This was on Christmas Day at 18:00. Carpets in bedrooms stained with a strong damp, musty smell. I was told I was being difficult and complaining and to rather leave. The jacuzzi is not working, and the owner said it never will be. Not what was advertised on the website.

Lovely and tranquil place

Lovely place to stay. Was in Gqeberha on a family matter and the guest house was the perfect setting to gather your thoughts and wind down.

Not good at all. They made us wait at the gate. Did not welcome us with kindness, not going back at all, will not recommended this place.

Owners were very rude.

Walmer Heights Guest House 's response

We have never yet received a review like this. All our reviews on every single booking app. Tells about how friendly, helpful, kind and accommodating we are. We ate very shocked
By these comments, as we treat every single guest the same. These guests had a very good time in heated pool, braai area, pool table and outside area.
The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that we had to talk to then about the excessive water usage in the rooms, as well as the permanent damage that was done to our carpet. I take it they did not appreciate us asking them to use less water. Port Elizabeth is currently experiencing severe drought.

Unplanned overnight stop over due to bad weather.

We made a very last minute booking as it was pouring with rain and I didn't want to drive in the dark/rain. I got a very positive and prompt response even as we arrived only 30 minutes after booking. Our host was friendly receiving us but the room was disappointing though as it didn't depict the picture on the website at all. The shower needs cleaning as it has mould, the shower head sprays everywhere. The bathroom needs a table or stand to put your toiletries as there was literally no where to put our stuff. Poorly stocked bare basic condiments and no rooibos tea. The door did not lock and was broken which very concerning to me. I chose this place as it looked like it would be a nice spoil for us but really feel it was not good value for money at all. Just a little attention to detail could really see this place being a very nice venue.

Pleasant stay.

We stayed over for one night, we were not at the guesthouse for very long but we did sleep comfortably and everything we needed was there. Friendly host and very comfortable bed.

Gemaklik en aanvaarbaar met 'n paar foute.

Die badkamer het net een lig wat brand oor die stort en niks by die wasbak. Ons het nie 'n sleutel vir ons kamer gehad nie. Ek glo nie dat die eienaars inspeksie gehou het na die skoonmaker klaar was nie. Met ons terugkeer saans was ons koffiebekers nie daar nie en die suiker ens. nie aangevul nie. Daar was net twee badhanddoeke en niks by die wasbak nie, mens moes met nat hand en/of gesig oor die badkamer loop om by die groot handdoeke uit te kom. Daar was min hangers om klere op te hang. Eienaars was baie vriendelik en tegemoetkomend, maar ek voel hulle het hul pligte versuim om toesig te hou.

Comfortable and acceptable apart from a few problems.

The bathroom has only one light shining above the shower but none above the wash basin. We didn't have a key for our room. I don't think the owners inspected our room after the cleaners were there. When we returned in the evenings the coffee mugs weren't there and the sugar etc. weren't replenished. There were only 2 bath towels but none for the basin, so you had to walk with wet face and hands to reach the big towels. Not enough clothes hangers. The owners were friendly and accommodating, but the supervision wasn't good.

Mooi skoon en gasvrou baie behulpsaam.

Baie lekker en alles wat jy nodig het. Sal net 'n mikrogolfoond aanbeveel om mens se kos warm te maak.

Nice and clean and the hostess was very helpful.

Great stay with everything you need. Would recommend a microwave oven to heat meals.

Dit was voorwaar 1200 km se reis werd.

Waar op aarde kom jy by 'n gastehuis aan, word so vriendelik ontvang, jou bagasie word uitgelaai en na jou kamer geneem en jy word dadelik iets aangebied om te drink? Walmer Heights Guest House bied hierdie diens aan. Ek en my man het al in baie gastehuise geslaap en altyd as ons terugry huistoe dan deel ons opinies oor die ervaring. 99% van die tyd was daar altyd iets fout. Hierdie keer was alles 100% perfek. Die bed het ongelooflik gemaklik geslaap met beddegoed so skoon en sag. Die kamer is so mooi ingerig met drankies in die yskas en peuselhappies op n skinkbord. Dit was heerlik om in die aand na 'n warm bad, waarin jy kan lê en TV kyk,in die snoesige bed te kruip onder die lugversorging, en TV te kyk voor jy weggevoer word in 'n heerlike nagrus. Die Jacuzzi is lieflik warm op jou voorstoep. Hierdie gastehuis sal ek verseker vir enige iemand aanbeveel, want wat jy op die beskrywing lees is presies wat jy kry en nog meer. Lieflike onvergeetlike tydjie gewees, pragtige mense wat uit hulle pad gaan om jou tyd by hulle spesiaal en aangenaam te maak. Dankie julle. Walmer Heights is die plek waar ons elke jaar sommer 6 keer wil gaan vakansie hou.

It was truly worth the 1200 km journey.

Where on earth do you arrive at a guest house, receive such a friendly welcome, your luggage is unloaded and taken to your room and you are immediately offered something to drink? Walmer Heights Guest House offers this service. My husband and I have slept in many guest houses and always when we drive back home we share opinions about the experience. 99% of the time there was always something wrong. This time everything was 100% perfect. The bed was incredibly comfortable to sleep in with bedding so clean and soft. The room is so nicely furnished with drinks in the fridge and snacks on a tray. It was lovely to go to a hot bath in the evening, in which you can lie down and watch TV, crawl into the cozy bed under the air conditioning, and watch TV before being carried away into a wonderful night's rest. The Jacuzzi is lovely warm on your front porch. I would definitely recommend this guest house to anyone, because what you read on the description is exactly what you get and more. It was a lovely unforgettable time, beautiful people who go out of their way to make your time with them special and pleasant. Thank you guys. Walmer Heights is the place where we want to go on holiday 6 times a year.
