A lovely small hotel, nicely furnished, quiet, a good location near the beach and with an excellent and creative restaurant. ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic boutique hotel, beautifully designed, integrating art from South Artists and keeping with the heritage of the property. The staff were friendly, warm and professional and provided an excellent service. The hotel has a lovely pool, and is 2 min walk from the beach. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 14 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent room, service and food Excellent in all aspects, would recommend. Under rated dining, both steak and fish cooked to highest level, room large, quirky lay out and very good facilities ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 16 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful new hotel by the beach Beautiful new hotel set in historic building in lovely gardens right by the beach. The pool area was relaxing and the service was generally great (a few staff seemed new and had to check on things before giving us answers, but everyone was very friendly, warm, and professional). We didn’t eat at the restaurant for dinner but the drinks and breakfast were great. The massage at the spa was just ok, but good value for the price. The beach in front of the hotel is stunning (but the water is freezing), and they will set up beach chairs and umbrellas for you on request. The rooms were new and very comfortable, the only thing we didn’t like is that the open plan shower got water all over the place (though it looked great, not super functional). Overall a wonderful stay, we wished we had planned an additional day here to relax on our road trip. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Three Night Stay Easy to find with a good size car park. Beautiful white washed buildings on a hill set back from the bay. The beach was a two minute walk down the hill so there was no direct view of the sea from the rooms. Check in was very friendly and efficient and we were given a tour of the building, gardens and pool area - all very nice, peaceful and comfortable with interesting artwork by the pool and on the covered verandah eating area. Pool was refreshing and it was also possible to access the beach via a side gate and short footpath, with staff taking parasol and sun loungers down for guests. Stayed in Room 1 which had a little garden with two sun loungers and a view of the sea beyond the car park and adjacent small access road. Room was a good size with a large comfortable bed and soft crisp linens. Bathroom was also a good size with a toilet off the bathroom, double sinks and a large shower with plenty of hot water and a good flow. Also possible to open the sliding door and have a semi-outside shower. Plenty of towels, including large bath towels all of which were soft. Room was well equipped with tea/coffee station, refrigerator, safe, air conditioning and fan. Everywhere was very clean. Wi-fi was best in reception but poor in the room and outside areas. Breakfast was brought to the table and included continental and hot cooked to order, both very nice. Had dinner twice which was very good. Service was excellent with very attentive and friendly staff. Would return. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### paola 1 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Boutique hotel vicinissimo al mare La nostra esperienza all’Old Rectory è stata decisamente positiva, è un hotel molto carino e ben curato vicinissimo ad una baia raccolta di Central Beach. L’ambientazione del ristorante ci è piaciuta molto, e anche il cibo è stato all’altezza. il personale è gentile e ci è stato molto di aiuto nel riorganizzare il nostro volo interno per Johannesburg, visto che il volo originario ci era stato cancellato. Unica pecca: la doccia in camera era completamente aperta, con il risultato di riempire la camera da letto di vapore. ##### paola Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-North-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h100470383.Hotel-Information) > - [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > - [Gondwana Tented Eco Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Tented-Eco-Camp.h31869455.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilderness-Hotels-Villa-Sol.h38806067.Hotel-Information) > - [Knysna Lodge Self Catering Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knysna-Hotels-Knysna-Lodge-Self-Catering-Accommodation.h39461007.Hotel-Information) > - [Dolphin View Cabanas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umdloti-Hotels-Dolphin-View-Cabanas.h10410615.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > - [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > - [White Water Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stanford-Hotels-White-Water-Farm.h13131137.Hotel-Information) > - [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > - [Mdluli Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mdluli-Safari-Lodge.h38870272.Hotel-Information) > - [Santos Express Train Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Santos-Express-Train-Lodge-Hostel.h8966799.Hotel-Information) > - [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > - [Travellers Rest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prince-Albert-Hotels-Travellers-Rest.h16126269.Hotel-Information) > - [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > - [Knysna Tonquani Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knysna-Hotels-Knysna-Tonquani-Lodge-Spa.h3024396.Hotel-Information) > - [Kuganha Luxury Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Kuganha-Tented-Camp.h36060545.Hotel-Information) > - [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > - [Ruby Rose](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riebeeck-West-Hotels-Ruby-Rose.h22647891.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > - [Rukiya Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rukiya-Safari-Camp.h18302655.Hotel-Information) > - [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Marlin All-Inclusive Seascape by Dream Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scottburgh-Hotels-Blue-Marlin-Hotel.h10019868.Hotel-Information) > - [Arabella Hotel Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kleinmond-Hotels-Arabella-Hotel-Golf-Spa.h696005.Hotel-Information) > - [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > - [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > - [Coot Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stanford-Hotels-Spookhuis-Cottages.h15943940.Hotel-Information) > - [Montpellier De Tulbagh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tulbagh-Hotels-Montpellier-De-Tulbagh.h15426199.Hotel-Information) > - [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) ---
