Reviewed By Anmbri

For a quiet relaxing break in tranquil surroundings Seven Fountains farm about a 20 minutes drive from Grahamstown is ideal. The young Dutch host, Daan is charming and attentive. The food served is delicious with the coffee being as good as available in the Netherlands. We will certainly be back!

Lalapanzi Guest Lodge

Lalapanzi Guest Lodge is a newly built guest house which offers upmarket self catering accommodation with a B&B option in the very sought-after beachfront suburb of Humewood in the city of Port Elizabeth. Lalapanzi has a four star Tourism Grading Council accreditation as well as an AA Quality Accommodation grading of "Highly Recommended". Accommodation is offered in eight stylishly designed and furnished en-suite units all of which are fully equipped for those who prefer to go the self catering route.

Waves Guest House

Jätte nöjda!!

Reviewed By Folke88

Jag och min fru stanna 2 nätter här innan vi drog oss vidare. Kom ganska sent på kvällen när vi checkade in. Kvinnan som jobbade här var så hjälpsam. Hon hjälpte till med allt. Fina rum, hon ringde och bokade surfing, kollade restauranger och gjorde jätte god frukost. Kan verkligen rekommendera det här stället. Man fick härligt energi av kvinnan dom jobbade här ? 10/10 ??

Quiet, peaceful and close to all historical sites.

Reviewed By VSJM

Very nice spacious room, well located in the centre of Graaf Reinet, yet very quiet. We enjoyed our room close to the swimming pool, as well as the outdoor area just outside it . Great amenities. We would give it a 5 star experience if the wifi was more stable. Blackout curtains would be welcome

An excellent resort to just relax and enjoy nature, without the hussle and noise from town. Will definately recommend Areena and will come back to stay. Good value for money with friendly and caring staff.

Rose and Ale

We are situated in the tranquil seaside suburb of Gonubie. With just a 15 minute drive into East London and a 5 minute walk to our beach, a perfect spot for both the holiday maker and the business guest. Our self-catering units are individually furnished very comfortable and offer all one needs for a relaxing stay. Each is equipped with outdoor entertainment facilities and a barbecue as well as private entrances and secure parking for 1 vehicle. Family friendly, our communal garden (at Rose and Ale only) offers a trampoline, swimming pool, jungle-gym, swings and a sandpit to keep the little ones occupied. Our Gonubie Sands apartments and 119 are 200m from Rose and Ale closer to the sea (1 minute walk) they are spacious, fully equipped and decorated to our usual standard. These units do not have direct access to the pool and playground. We are also pet friendly offering enclosed gardens to keep your pet safe. Gonubie offers grassed walks along the beachfront to keep your pet exercise

It just worked!

Reviewed By deonml21

I had entered a marathon and needed a place to stay. The Rose and Ale ticked all the boxes. Efficient booking system and well-stocked cupboards for a self-catering unit. It was comfortable and neat. It's close to the beach and the shops.
