We spent one night here, arriving at about 20:00 after a long flight. Our room was quite nice, but a bit old, it had a small verandah and a kitchenette. Breakfast was good. The location is very good, between the airport and the sea. There is private parking. The owner is very kind and she went the extra mile calling her friend and even a friend of her friend to let us know how to find the bench with Mandela statue at University. They have some lights and wi-fi working during loadshedding, that it’s very important.
The moment you arrive at this establishment you are made to feel comfortable and welcome. Friendly, competent and helpful staff, great food, very clean, and comfortable rooms with views of the ocean second to none. Close to the mall, and the highway, but you don't have the noise pollution you would expect from being in the middle of it all. I loved every minute of my stay!
stunning views, stylish rooms, spacious hotel, friendly staff and delicious food, near the beach, ****** and mall, we had a lovely evening at this hotel.Thank you for sponsoring Safta award winner Nazli George Aunty Ivy from 7de laan work soon to be seen as Ragel in Skemergrond on Kyknet
We have stayed here many time because it is a beautiful building in an excellent location. The general staff are outstanding and the food and rooms are amazing. Unfortunately the front desk is just not the same as the rest of the experience. When I wrote in to ask for an early check in I got no reply- on my arrival I asked about this and was told because I got no reply that means it’s fine. I find this odd as I explained that we were arriving after a three part flight over 18 hours. We have stayed here at least 3 other times and my comment for each time would be pretty much the same - I feel the front desk could do better to Mach their rest of the experience.
We had an absolutely great Cape Trip with no terrible rooms, all 5star in their own way. But No. 5 and Swartberg Manor were our two best. No. 5 was an awesome! value. It was easily our best room physically in are whole trip. Spacious!, clean, quiet and peaceful. We were put up in the 3 room annex across the street, room number 10, it was huge and well appointment. Crossing the street for breakfast was no big deal, in return we had a house with only 3 quests, total peace and quiet and pool virtually to ourselves. The food was outstanding for dinner, and the breakfast superb! They made hot breakfast 20 min early for us (06:40) to facilitate our daytrip/safari at Addo Elephant. Unbelievable service. Art work is a great touch making this a unique place. Great service all around, but Nick the desk manager who we interacted with the most was superb. Attached some pics of the Annex.
GGenieBWow I must say we were warmly greeted at the door and treated so very kindly. Nomi who was absolutely cheerful and kind to us. She was definitely one of the best parts of our stay. Walking into the beautiful garden filled with the aroma of different scents of roses. The room was so immaculate and the location is perfect. Thanks for allowing us to have such a wonderful stay.
We had a comfortable 5 night stay here. Christine the owner and Frans make you feel welcome. Plenty of restaurants nearby but you will be rightly be advised to drive. The beach is nearby but nothing special. However this is a 5 star guesthouse but there’s little evidence to support it. Ok the gardens and the pool area are nice and the breakfast room has an old worldly feel. But the bedroom is not set up to relax (and watch the tv). The bathroom has old fashioned fixtures but not in a good way. Never understand housekeeping cleaning your room whilst you are at breakfast. Have had some spectacular breakfasts on this holiday but here was just nice.
Excellent experience nothing to add all was good. Value for money,friendly staff very helpfull,rooms was very spaces and clean, location of guesthouse made me feel very save,love the indoor swimming pool
First of all, when you walk into this hotel, it's absolutely breathtaking. Service - You are greeted with a friendly and professional receptionist. I am happy with the service that we received... BUT the after hour receptionist is completely rude and never at the desk. I'm hoping that management will make a replacement. I've had my fair share of visiting hotels and there should always be someone at the front desk. This person should have a good and professional attitude. Instead the man who I called to the front desk was clearly tired and irritable. Rooms - Elevator, television, wifi, a large bathroom, excellent water pressure, soap etc is provided, extremely clean, comfortable bed, large vanity and a massive air conditioner. The rooms are smaller than what we are used to but it's cozy. Load shedding - So unfortunately the air conditioner switches off during load shedding. During this time we were suffering from the unbearable heat. I'm hoping the hotel will upgrade to larger generators. View - Quite a small window, you cannot see the view from your bed which is dissapointing considering we paid extra for an ocean view. Price - R 1450 for a beach view bedroom My opinion... Is it worth it? That would depend on your budget. I usually stay at the Courtyard Hotel which has a balcony, gym, impeccable 24hr service and massive rooms. They charge R1990 per night. If that's what you can afford then I reccomend Courtyard hotel. Town lodge is excellent for a budget price.
Beautiful location by beach and shops. Security monitoring area contributing to a sense of safety. Free secure parking. Rooms are spacious and well kept. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Food are great. Beautiful walkways on road and beach. Located near shops, restaurants and cafes.
Gguangyu22I have no complaints about the hotel. While not exceptional, it was pleasant. The location was excellent. There were numerous restaurants within a short walking distance. The beach walkway was very close by. If you feel like eating at McDonald’s, it’s very close by. Our room was comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good.
