Our first floor room was spacious and well decorated with all ameneties including tea/coffee, fridge, beach towels etc. TV had Netflix etc. More St James than Kalk Bay but only 10mins walk to Kalk Bay. Breakfast was excluded but we just added and the choice was extensive. parking was available just around the corner. Only two comments which did not bother us was that the room had no air-con but was very cool. Overhead fan and open windows were fine. The only other comment its that the road is quite busy and the odd train passes by but we would still definitely return! ##### Carl Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 4 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed Sonnekus hotel.

I would come back if ever in this area again. ##### Clarissa Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian 6 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities K.A. ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### gloria 8 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our check in went well until I discovered they had a wrong name at which point they said the pipes were broken and moved us to a different property. Interesting that when they thought we were someone else, the room was ok. We had to ask about the included breakfast. All was fine, although the new place, not as cozy and not within walking distance of another family members booking made on purpose close by. ##### gloria Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### karen 23 Apr 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The shower was not working upon arrival.
