Ek sal nie sommer weer daar bly nie.

Het niks om rêrig teen die plek te sê nie. Net nie 'n omgewing wat ek weer sal wil besoek nie. Het in elk geval donker daar aangekom en vroeg weer vertrek.

I will not stay there again.

Have nothing really to say against the place. Just not an environment I would want to visit again. Anyway got there dark and left early again.

Baie lekker verblyf, goed ingerig en goeie diens.

Perfek vir 'n vinnige oorslaap of langer met alles wat benodig is. Kamers het matte, 'n baie lekker badkamer met ruimte en 'n yskas en oorgenoeg pakplek. Die bed is baie gemaklik ook en lekker warm vir die winter.

Very nice stay, well furnished and good service.

Perfect for a quick sleepover or longer with everything needed. Rooms have carpets, a very nice bathroom with space and a fridge and ample storage space. The bed is very comfortable too and nice and warm for the winter.

Simply a room in a house.

Small, clean room with a bathroom. There is a fridge to share. The host was very friendly and helpful. We booked breakfast, and it was a decent meal.

Nag.

Mens kort 'n 4x4-voertuig om by die ingang van die gastehuis uit te kom. Die grondpad wat lei na die gastehuis is verwoes en jy sal jou onderkant van jou voertuig skraap om die slaggate te vermy. Met aankoms by die gastehuis sal jy jouself moet inlaat vir lawaaierige verblyf. Die ligging is naby die hoofpad wat verby Port Edward loop en 'n mens hoor die verkeer aanhoudend. Die nabygeleë taxi-halte help ook nie juis nie. Moenie te veel verwag vir die prys wat jy betaal nie. Jy kan 'n bruinpapiersakkie met een oorstokkie; 'n stukkie watte en 'n stuk seep sonder 'n "wrapping" verwag met jou aankoms. Onthou hierdie voorraad moet jou en jou medegaste vir die hele tydperk van julle verblyf hou. Vat ook jou eie handdoeke en beddegoed saam. Jou een mediumgrootte handdoek sal jou ook maar moet hou vir die heeltyd wat jy daar is. Die bed wat ons in Kamer 2 gehad het, was so hard soos 'n klip en ek dink die mat sou sagter gewees het om op te slaap, maar ek sal dit nie voorstel nie, omdat ek glo nie dit is al gewas sedert die 70's af toe dit ingesit is nie. So gepraat van 'n bed ... Ons albei het gekla dat ons jeuk en dat dit voel asof daar iets is wat oor 'n mens loop terwyl ons in die bed was. Ek neem maar aan hierdie bed is ook jare laas ordentlik skoongemaak. Ons medegaste het die die een aand so luidrugtig daar aangekom en die hele gastehuis wakker gemaak (insluitend sekerlik ook die bure). Ons is werklikwaar baie teleurgesteld met die Zesty-gastehuis. Die foto's op die website lyk beter as wat dit werklik is. Miskien is die ander kamers beter as die een wat ons gehad het, maar ons sal definitef nie weer daar bly nie.

Night.

You need a 4x4 vehicle to get to the entrance of the guest house. The dirt road leading to the guest house is destroyed and you will scrape the bottom of your vehicle to avoid the potholes. Upon arrival at the guest house you will have to brace yourself for a noisy stay. The location is close to the main road that runs past Port Edward and one hears the traffic constantly. The nearby taxi rank doesn't really help either. Don't expect too much for the price you pay. You can use a brown paper bag with one ear stick; a piece of cotton wool and a bar of soap without a "wrapping" expected upon your arrival. Remember this supply must last you and your fellow guests for the entire period of your stay. Also take your own towels and bed linen. Your one medium-sized towel will also have to last you the whole time you're there. The bed we had in Room 2 was as hard as a rock and I think the carpet would have been softer to sleep on but I wouldn't suggest it as I don't believe it has been washed since the 70's off when it was inserted. Speaking of a bed... We both complained of itchiness and feeling like something was walking over one's head while in bed. I assume this bed has also not been properly cleaned in years. Our fellow guests arrived so noisy that one night and woke up the whole guest house (including the neighbours, of course). We are really very disappointed with the Zesty guest house. The photos on the website look better than they actually are. Maybe the other rooms are better than the one we had, but we definitely won't stay there again.

Quiet, neat and clean.

Neat and clean. Air conditioner in room would have been nice. Power in area was out for one night. No generator for standby. Noisy, troublesome guests disturbed the peace until late one night. No senior management on site to address problem.

Faucets for hot and cold are mixed up. Towels were a bit small and few for 5 guests.

Ons kon regtig ontspan en dit geniet!

Die swembad gedeelte was fantasties - selfs al waai die wind soos dit maar altyd doen by die Suidkus, kon ons heerlik beskut swem middae nadat ons die oggend op die strand deurgebring het. Die pragtige tuin en hoe bome maak dat ons nie eers die wind en weer kon voel nie. Regtig 'n mooi plek!

We were able to really relax and enjoy it!

The pool area was fantastic - even with the wind blowing as it always does on the South Coast, we were able to have lovely sheltered swims in the afternoons after spending the morning on the beach. The beautiful garden and how trees make that we could not even feel the wind and weather. Really a beautiful place!

Couldn't have asked for better!

We arrived at Zesty Guesthouse in Port Edward on Friday 25th September. On the way, the manager phoned to see what time we were coming so that our room was prepped. We told her 6 pm, but plans changed and we told them we were coming earlier. The cleaning lady, Jane made sure our room was spotless - even though we told her we didn't mind waiting. Jane welcomed us and did our check in. She was super! So friendly and happy to help! The whole building was beautifully decorated and our room was gorgeous. We were provided with towels, soap and even some rusks that were delicious. I would highly recommend a stay here! Easy access to Port Edward / close to the beach / safe / ample parking. Wow!
