Fünf Sterne sind zu hoch angesetzt

Die Zimmer sind eher klein und der Stauraum fehlt. Aus der Duschbrause kam nur sehr spärlich Wasser und die WC-Spülung funktionierte nicht richtig. Die Badewanne ist zwar hübsch inszeniert, aber reinsetzen würd ich mich nie (‚dreckig‘, angewetzt). Das Zimmer & das Haus allgemein ist sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Aussicht traumhaft. Das Frühstück war okay. Frische Eierspeisen köstlich, allerdings war die Käse/Fleischplatte zum bedienen sehr spärlich und total unappetitlich angerichtet. Verglichen mit all den anderen Guesthouses/B&B die wir besucht haben, ist im Sea Star der Preis viel zu hoch. Wir werden nicht mehr kommen.

Beautiful romantic spot on the water

We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. The staff were amazing, especially - Blessed, who made our stay very special. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the master suite, which was beyond words. So much detail has been put into every aspect of this beautiful bed and breakfast. If you are looking for a quiet and romantic spot, boasting charm and hospitality - this is the place! Will be back to stay for sure.

Hotel mit ( vielleicht ) Blick

Das Hotel liegt in der zweiten Reihe , wenn man Glück hat bekommt man auch ein Zimmer wo man das Meer sehen kann . Das Haus könnte schön sein, ist aber schon sehr abgeschnuddelt verglichen mit anderen Hotels auf unserer Liste das schlechteste. Wir waren 3 Wochen in Südafrika und haben die gartenroute gemacht.

Nice clean place on residential neighborhood.

We arrived to the hotel very tired, and were received by Clarissa, the owner of the guest house, who received us very well and warmly. She was very kind and helped us a lot to get around to get something to eat and to book our activities in the surrounding areas. The hotel and room was clean, with a very nice shared living room that has a nice and relaxing view. The room itself is very small and has no door in the bathroom, and just a glass door for the actual toilet, which made things somewhat uncomfortable, since I had to ask my wife to leave the room when I needed to "go" (and vice versa). The hotel is in a residential area, far away from any restaurants and without easy access to the beach. You'll need a car by all means. Having said this, our stay was very pleasent, the hotel is very nice and friendly, and the breakfast is great to get you going.

Stylische Herzlichkeit

Leider hatten wir nur zwei Nächte in diesem sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetem Haus. Die gute Seele dort Clarissa umsorgt die Gäste in jeglicher Hinsicht. Beginnend mit der Anreise und dem gastfreundlichem Empfang mit Kuchen, herrlichem Kaffee oder auf Wunsch Brötchen. Wunderbare Tipps für die Gestaltung des Tages sowie tolle Empfehlung und Organisation für Abends. Das Frühstück war sowohl von der Zubereitung als auch von der Darreichung ein Traum in herrlicher Räumlichkeit. Im ganzen Haus hatten immer den Blick frei aufs Meer. Sogar von der Dusche aus könnte man keinen Wal verpassen, auch wenn wir keine mehr gesehen haben. Macht nichts, dann müssen wir halt wieder kommen !!!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen, das Frühstück war hervorragend (auch hier konnten wir die Wale bereits beobachten) und auch die sonstige Bewirtung hat sehr gefallen.
