Excellent Guest House, friendly staff, very comfy!

Kyla whatsapped before to check our arrival time, good communication as we had a late arrival. She was very helpful and so friendly, made sure we had everything we needed to find the place. Secure free parking on site too. The family room (2 double beds) was clean, huge and very comfortable with great bathroom, safe, TV, fridge, coffee/tea facilities and excellent beds. There was load shedding which we hadn't experienced so far in S.A and the hotel had all the emergency lights. The place itself is a huge house and has a big lounge area with sofas and TV (we didn't have time) and decorated beautifully in an old tasteful colonial style. Breakfast was great (including extra good & strong coffee!) and as we had an early start driving, Kyla packed us some breakfast for the road which was great. Couldn't fault how helpful and friendly Kyla was to make sure we had a great stay and looked after us. Would highly recommend staying here!

Cute little bed and breakfast.

This was a super cute location and they were accommodating to our check in time as we arrived late into the airport. The location was close to the airport and the breakfast was delicious. The hosts both in the morning and evening were very kind and welcoming. The only reason they didn’t get perfect on every score was because they don’t actually have air conditioning and that was one of the reasons we booked it, and it was quite a warm summer night. Rooms are modern and clean as is the bathrooms and the service was really great!

Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt ok

Sehr ordentlich, sauber und allgemein gutes Guest House. Das Zimmer hatte leider so gut wie keine "Ablage-Möglichkeit" - Uns fehlte ein Schreibtisch und/oder Tisch. Die Lage in PE war jetzt auch nicht so ganz unsere... - Aber wir wollten auch nur eine "Basisstation" für zwei Tage - Das ist uns bei den weiteren Orten besser geglückt - Dennoch kann man diese Guest House durchaus weiterempfehlen

Charming Guesthouse in a great location

I loved my place here. The room was quaint and beautifully furnished. The breakfast was ok, there could have been slightly more variety, but I'm pretty sure my stay didn't include breakfast, but they served me breakfast anyway so it was a bonus. The manager was very friendly and welcoming. It's in a great area, walking distance from a road filled with restaurants. I'd definitely recommend this guesthouse when staying in P.E. It's also in a very central location.
