Georgeous beach hotel

Great views of the bay from our spacious one bedroom suite. Restaurant was very good also with sea views. Pool is a bit small with limited towels and loungers.

A True Haven

This resort has a breath-taking view of the beach and the accommodations are beyond excellent. Having the restaurants on the property was an extra convenient bonus; the food and service was wonderful! The management and staff @ Brenton Haven is warm, welcoming & accommodating.

The villa unit was very comfortable and had lovely sea views from the main room and balcony. The housekeeping was good, just need more attention to detail when replenishing tea sachets for the next morning. Reception was initially not overly welcoming, but thereafter a gent named Nkosi was excellent in helping us.

Poderia ter sido melhor

Acomodação com dois quartos com boas camas e bem limpo, sala, cozinha bem equipada e varanda com um linda vista. Não dei nota máxima pois ficamos sem água quente, a energia caia a todo momento, e não tinha mais ninguém na recepção quando tentamos pedir apoio, um segurança que nos deu suporte e restabeleceu o aquecimento da água. O café da manhã se inicia às 8:00, achamos tarde.

Beim Abendessen ist die frisch gemachte Sushiplatte Weltklasse! Beim Frühstück ist der Cappuccino gesondert zu zahlen, die Brote sind so hart, dass alle Gäste mit den unscharfen Messern irgendwann aufgeben und nur den Belag essen.Das Omlett ist sehr fettig! Die Mitarbeiter des Restaurants sind bemüht, aber unorganisiert.

Underbart läge vid stranden!

Vi bodde en natt på Brenton Haven Beachfront, underbart läge precis vid en makalös strand! Perfekt "badhotell för familj". Mycket nöjda med rum och läge, toppen frukost men välj en annan restaurang för middag om möjligt.

Die Unterkunft liegt fantastisch am Meer. Von unserem Zimmer aus konnten wir einen der schönsten Sonnenuntergänge erleben. Das Personal ist freundlich. Allerdings stimmte die angegebene Adresse (198 CR Swart Drive) nicht genau und so haben wir dieses "Resort" auf der Strecke hinunter zum Meer gesucht und schlussendlich gefunden :-).
