Reviews for On the Beach Guesthouse & Apartments

Review 1：Dreary entrance and lobby belies the style and comfort of the rest of the rooms.

Review 2：Great location. Wonderful beach views from upstairs sitting room and verandah. Excellent beach restaurant recommendation nearby. Big comfy bed but room a little cramped.

Review 3：Not many restaurants near by. But Kitchen Windows - great restaurant - provides a free taxi pick up and drop off service.

Review 4：Great place. Fantastic and very friendly staff. Great breakfast. Highly recommend the egg benedict. Interesting room and a large bath room. Right on the beach. Quiet beach and long walks along the beach.

Review 5：Amazing position, beautifully done guesthouse. Bronwyn was so helpful from the start. Food and coffee great, staff excellent, position amazing. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others. Thanks and well done on what you have created here!

Review 6：Could improve on making room service available and having a phone in the room for convenience of asking any questions.

Review 7：The setting of the venue and the design of the place with a great staff.

Review 8：Little bit too far to walk to restuarants at night but pleasantly surprised to discover "kitchen windows" restuarant offer free transfers.

Review 9：It's literally on the beach. We stayed in room nr 8 which was nice and private. Fab lounge with honesty bar and balcony with stunning sea views.

Review 10：Accommodation located abit of a walk into the centre otherwise would've been an all round excellent.

Review 11：Friendly and efficient host and staff. Great on the beach location.. Woke up to dolphins swimming in the surf :)

Review 12：Seaview

Review 13：Had a power cut that lasted for 10 hours. Being the Eastern Cape, it was to be expected - however the owner do not feel the need to invest in a generator - hope they do in the future. Having a 2 year old , an elderly gentleman in need of oxygen, it is imperative to have electricity. The other issue was the access to the apartment as well as the entrance - rather dangerous.

Review 14：The position, the staff, the apartment itself was very well furnished, bedrooms a bit on the small side. Otherwise,we had to move and the staff was excellent in their assistance.

Review 15：very clean, large with sea view , parking , large bathroom with tub, very close to center. we enjoyed our stay so much and even extended a day great value

Review 16：Bathrooms need to be upgraded Too much light in the bedrooms with obligatory wake-up at dawn. Price/comfort ratio can be improved.

Review 17：Position Panoramic scenery Cleanliness Friendly staff

Review 18：Nothing to dislike

Review 19：Beautiful views. Right on beach. Braii area. Large apartment. Very well stocked with up to date equipment. Extremely comfortable. Delicious breakfast.public areas large and comfortable. Honesty bar

Review 20：I had to walk sideways up and down the stairs and down the passage to my room, as my shoulders did not fit in the narrow spaces I made a special note of my height for the shower, I did not fit under the shower head

Review 21：The breakfast was excellent

Review 22：I loved the view to the ocean, as the guest house is on the beach with it's own access to the beach.The staff are very friendly. The deluxe suite, is truly comfortable and luxurious. The bathroom is of the highest standard, it has a huge bathtub, and excellent shower. We were made to feel at ease throughout our stay. The dining room is very beautifully furnished with spectacular views across the bay. The breakfast options are also very satisfying and very good. The proximity to Super tubes is also a plus. I will certainly stay at the beach house again.

Review 73：Friendly, accommodating and helpful staff, great interior design, really comfortable.

Review 74：We stayed in one of the Deluxe suites and at times it didn't feel very private. I would suggest blocking the patio in front of that room, as other guests were staring into our room while walking by and taking the outdoor chairs from our patio without asking.

Review 81：double bed supplied in room for 2 adults in 4 star rate B&B. could not swing a cat in bedroom ,bathroom only with shower and a basin that is not big enough to wash your face. The word Luxury is over used,Panaromic sea views is walk on deck and look around corner between houses, very over priced for what you get..

Review 82：nice location, good breakfast.

Review 83：The Room, advertised as a superior family ocean suite, had a singlecupboard, barely enough space to move around in, a single bathroom. Weenquired before whether we needed to bring a cot for our baby - wewe're told to only bring linen, but the camping cot did not evenhave a matress. Not good enough for a family - and way too expensive forwhat you get.
