Uhm. Wat kan ek sê?

Glad nie lekker geslaap nie. Agter die bed was spinnekoppe. Die spieël in die slaapkamer is swart bevlek. Ek voel heeltyd asof goed my byt, en my vrou is ook gebyt. Ons moes ons eie internet gebruik, want dit was te swak. Die hele plek ruik na JIK, asof hulle skoongemaak het, maar die glase sit vas aan die houtrakke, ens. Die bed is erg uitgele. Jy sak in die bed in, en nie op 'n goeie manier nie.

Ummm. What can I say?

Didn't sleep well at all. Behind the bed were spiders. The mirror in the bedroom is stained black. I feel like things are biting me all the time, and my wife has been bitten too. We had to use our own internet because it was too weak. The whole place smells like JIK, like they cleaned, but the glasses are stuck to the wooden shelves, etc. The bed is very yellow. You collapse into bed, and not in a good way.

Welcoming, but overall an unsatisfactory experience.

My suite was on the ground floor with no sea view and no direct access to the main garden. Noise from the suite above was jarring. Also, no provision for power cuts. Need to keep up with the realities of SA.

Super lekker, super mooi, verseker aanbeveel.

Altyd 'n groot genot. By the way, ligging is eintlik 'n 10/5. Ek verkies die dek kamer, maar daar is niks fout met die onderste kamer nie. Sien net nie die see nie al is jy 500m van die water af.

Super tasty, super beautiful, definitely recommended.

Always a great pleasure. By the way, location is actually a 10/5. I prefer the deck room, but there is nothing wrong with the lower room. Just don't see the sea even if you are 500m from the water.

Very comfortable stay with no hassle or harassment.

Had a very lovely stay and the owner was very helpful and friendly. The garden boy was there early in the morning to clean the braai area and take dirt away. Very friendly people.

Het dit vreeslik geniet al was dit net een aand.

Die eienaar was so vriendelik, het ons met ope arms ontvang. Die woonstel is baie netjies en die ligging is super mooi, kyk uit op die see. WiFi het net op 'n stadium opgehou werk, maar ek het dit nie gerapporteer nie, so ek kla nie. Word 100% aanbeveel.

Really enjoyed it even if it was just one night.

The owner was so friendly, welcomed us with open arms. The apartment is very neat and the location is super nice, overlooking the sea. WiFi just stopped working at one point but I didn't report it so I'm not complaining. 100% recommended.

Na ons rit ń heerlike afsaal. Skoon, netjies en baie ruim. Die hele aand kon jy die rustigheid van die branders hoor, al was jy nie op die see nie. Dankie Liezel.

After our ride, a delicious ride. Clean, tidy and very spacious. All evening you could hear the calmness of the waves, even if you were not at sea. Thank you Liesel.

Ek sal eerder 'n ander gastehuis in Port Alfred gebruik in die toekoms.

Ongelukkig was die handdoeke alreeds so uitgewas en dun, toe ek my rug afdroog na 'n shower, skeur die handdoek 'n gat in. Die yskas is nie skoongemaak nie en het na rou vleis en bloed geruik. Ek moes gaan vra vir wi-fi password. Dit is uitgewys vir my dat dit op die kleinste stukkie papier geskryf is (so groot soos twee chappies papiertjies) en so skeef in 'n fotoraam ingedruk. Die gastehuis offer geen toerisme-inligting van enige aard nie, daar is niks oor toerisme, eetplekke, things-to-do nie. Daar is tog verwagting dat dit by 'n vakansiedorp by die see aangebied word.

I would rather use another guest house in Port Alfred in the future.

Unfortunately, the towels were already so washed out and thin, when I dried my back after a shower, the towel tore a hole. The fridge was not cleaned and smelled of raw meat and blood. I had to go and ask for wi-fi password. It was pointed out to me that it was written on the smallest piece of paper (the size of two slips of paper) and pressed crookedly into a photo frame. The guesthouse does not offer any tourism information of any kind, there is nothing about tourism, places to eat, things-to-do. After all, there is an expectation that it will be offered at a holiday town by the sea.

Dit was baie lekker en gerieflik.

Die uitsig was fantasties. Die verblyf was perfek, dit het als gehad wat mens sou nodig kry. Die kuier was net te kort wens ons kon langer bly.

Quite pleasant.

Nice place except for the car park which although fenced in does not give one the peace of mind.

We had a much needed, relaxing getaway by the sea.

We had a very comfortable stay in a bright and airy apartment. The view from the sheltered deck was really lovely and having such easy access to the beach was a bonus. Just a 2 min walk away to a quiet beach. The property offers peace, tranquility and beautiful bird calls surrounding the flat. The stairs are quite deep and would be unsuitable for more mature guests or visitors or very young children. Our host, Liezel, was very kind to allow us to bring along our 2 dogs and to loan us an LED lantern for the loadshedding/blackouts.
