    Bill and Melanie have been tremendous hosts ! We came as a filming crew 4 persons and 500kg of filming gears and they have been very helpful with everything we needed to make our work easier : early morning coffee, lunchbox, access to tools to fix our gears, ... Part of the success of our work has been thanks to Bill and Melanie.

    The bathroom accross the passage is my only gripe buy that is how the upper floor is built .Nothing else comes to mind .Ive asked for freshly ground coffee instead of powdered coffee and it was no hassle to get it . Perhaps they should make this a standard provision with a coffee plunger.

    Melanie has such an accessible demeanor and extremely helpful and friendly .The cleanilness of the room was suberb and the linen pristine . I valued the wifi being available during loadshedding. 😊😊😃😄

    Lovely traditional house decorated with authentic antique furnishings. My upstairs room was spacious and comfortable, with an electric kettle, tea, and instant coffee. Microwave and fridge with a little fresh milk jug are in the hallway just outside, with dishes and cutlery. Breakfast is not included, perhaps misleading as it is named 'B&B'. However, it's available upon request, but do inform them beforehand if you arrive late and want it the next morning, served from 7:00 - 09:00. Internet connection is quite weak upstairs. Hosts are gracias. It is very quiet. In fact, I saw no one, although there were other guests, so it is for guests who want their privacy. The neighbourhood is lovely, still advisable not to walk in the surrounding park area for solo travellers. PE, unfortunately, is no place for casual strolling due to street crime.

    Oh! just a small thing I almost forgot about. The wardrobe had a distinct smell which stayed on your clothes and the extra blankets kept in there. If they can maybe freshen it up regularly. It happens with wood.

    Oh! It felt like home. It’s generally so difficult to travel with kids but Bill & Melanie made our stay so so beautiful. So warm & welcoming, super helpful. We had everything like we were in our own home. From coffee, sugar, milk, kids entertainment to housekeeping. Our kids felt like they were at their grandparent’s house. The breakfast was so so delicious & exceptionally well served. You guys are very thoughtful. We really enjoyed our holiday. Kids don’t care about praises but our kids are also singing praises. You both are the best & our family will forever remember you. Noteworthy details: Everything is within a walkable distance & Just a small drive to the beach.

    Very homely B&B. The owner has put a lot of love and care in to the place. He even built most of it himself. The owner makes you feel very welcome and ensures you have everything you need Great location - near airport, restaurants, supermarket
