5 Sterne für ein Hotel, an dem man warmherzig empfangen und einzigartig verwöhnt wird. Alida und Mathias haben ihre Leidenschaft zum Beruf gemacht. Wer familiäre Atmosphäre mag, ist hier goldrichtig. Liebevoll gestaltete, große Zimmer. Top Hygiene, fantastisches englisches Frühstück frisch nach Wunsch zubereitet. Am Pool wurden wir mit einem guten Gläschen Wein verwöhnt. Wer ein Souvenir für die lieben Daheimgebliebenen oder sich selbst sucht, wirft einen Blick auf Mathias selbst entworfene Schmuckkollektion. Außergewöhnlich, zu günstigen Preisen. Wir lieben dieses Guesthouse und freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen.

Aconchegante e simpático. Confortável.

Lugar bonito, decorado com bom gosto e capricho. Pátio com privacidade. Camas muito confortáveis, quarto amplo, pequena cozinha pratica e funcional. Café da manhã muito gostoso, o suficiente. Atendimento pelos próprios donos, aliás, é uma casa que foi transformada em "pousada". Tudo muito organizado e limpo. Destaque para a simpatia dos donos e atendimento. Adoramos. Pela localização precisa de carro pra se locomover pela cidade.

En fin oas i Port Elisabeth

Vi kom med bil och blev mycket förtjusta i Bayside guest house. En helt fantastisk liten oas, med rena fräscha rum, alla egna ingångar i små egna hus. En fin liten pool, bra parkering, gångavstånd till strandpromenad, god frukost, vänlig personal. Personligt bemötande.

Wunderschönes Gästehaus in toller Lage

Das Gästehaus liegt in einer gut situierten Wohngegend und ist dennoch erschwinglich. Die Eigentümerin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und wird nach eigenen Wünschen zubereitet. Das Zimmer ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und verfügt über einen Kühlschrank, einen Wasserkocher und einen Fernseher. Das Bad ist neu und die Betten sind bequem. Von der Terrasse aus blickt man auf den Pool. Bis zur Promenade mit Restaurants und Bars sind es nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß oder mit dem Auto.
