The place was exceptional, and its in the city center. Security was good and Bra Lucas and his companion were always around and ready to serve
There was nothing I didn't like, everything was as expected.

The place is very cute, has a very peaceful vibe with friendly staff. We enjoyed many of the sitting areas after returning from the beach or our shift. The beach wasn't that far away, about 7 mins drive, but love the proximity to Florida road. My colleagues and I had a great dinner there without the need to drive.
The dog, Jess, is such a cutie and brings life and joy to the room with her gently and playful nature.
My one and only thing I think that could be better is probably for the owner to have been there or a member of management to be on sight, it was difficult playing broken telephone with the staff. I didn't really mind it though because the staff were being very patient with us.

We had the entire place to ourselves and there was enough privacy for our entire group, yet still private common areas just for us. We booked last minute and so check in was super easy!
No soap/shampoo in the bathrooms
Bed and Breakfast could be better as a buffet

the location is amazing, everything is nearby.
when we requested for a room to be changed, we got a smaller room as opposed to the twin bedroom. The shower has a curtain and the floor gets wet quickly.

Clean. Close to amenities
Tea and coffee in a jar, no sachets. Property could do with an upgrade

Nothing went well. The inconsiderate other guests (all from Durban) played loud music until around 4h30 in the morning. The guest house should not advertise that it is family orientated venue but rather a party venue for the weekend.
Advertise honestly that it is not suitable for families or travellers.

Breakfast was scrumptious.
Kettle ,tea and coffee,sugar sachets in bedroom would make it nicer.
More parking space would be great.

It was ohk, however, my scrambled eggs had a bit of egg shell on it.
It was a simple breakfast.
My room was not cleaned, no fresh towels for the second last day of my stay.
I struggled with parking space.
I booked a double room but was allocated a room that had 2 single beds.
5.0
Location opposite a mall which was convenient especially to buy food and snacks. Can use the kitchen to make food. Izak (staff) friendly and helpful. Room had lovely aircon and a ceiling fan, TV and wifi. fridge and kettle with coffee and sugar. Sheets and towels were clean. Room was cleaned everyday.
We arrived for breakfast and there is no information / notices regarding what to do or what food is available. We sat at a table and waited while the staff in the kitchen were on their phones. We could see this. I eventually got up and asked how breakfast works. Nobody seemed to understand what I was asking. Eventually managed to get breakfast sorted. The food consisted of 2 eggs, 2 bacon, a pork sausage tomato and toast. The bacon was brown gray and looked bad. My wife and mother-in-law refused to eat it. I was hungry and ate theirs, thankfully I wasn't ill afterwards. Got up and asked if there is coffee or tea available and was told there is and this was brought to the table. There is cereal available on a table but no milk. Had to ask for milk. There were no bowls, had to ask. Mother-in-law was given a spoon with a plastic handle with dirty glue all over it to eat her yoghurt - totally unacceptable!!. Breakfast is the same thing each morning. Ate breakfast twice and gave up.
Had cockroaches on the second day in the bathroom and under the bed.
Three bed room - 2 towels, 2 mugs provided.
Parking can be problematic due to lack of space.
For some reason the staff don't seem to understand English very well.
