It was good to be staying at Sheilan House again. Room and bathroom was spotless and spacious. The property was neat and well groomed and secure. Joan and Mike were as friendly as always and I felt at home at all times. I stayed for three nights.

Excellent stay at Sheilan House

We had an excellent stay at Sheilan House. Joan & Mike were great and very helpful for recommending local areas of interest. The local restaurants were a letdown. Food choices were disappointing and overall food quality was bland.

Goed verzorgd

In verband met een bezoek aan onze dochter die tijdelijk ivm school in Port Alfred verbleef hebben wij 3 dagen door gebracht in het Sheilan House. De eigenaren zijn zeer aardig en behulpzaam. ieder dag werd er een uitgebreid ontbijt verzorgd, zelfs voor onze dochter die niet eens bij ons logeerde werd er geen uitzondering gemaakt. Hiervandaan hebben wij een bezoek gebracht aan het Addo elephant park en een game reserve in Kenton ( Sibuya ), echt een aanrader!

Sehr gut geführtes Guesthouse mit Pool & Garten

Wir haben uns sehr freundlich aufgenommen gefühlt von Joan und Michael. Die Zimmer sind groß und hell und sehr gut ausgestattet, bequeme Betten, eine kleine private Terrasse und ein leckeres Frühstück gab es auch. Toller Garten mit kleinem Sundeck und ein schöner Pool sind vorhanden. Insgesamt auch sehr nette und persönliche Betreuung durch Joan & Michael, vielen Dank dafür! Wir sind länger geblieben als geplant und würden das Guesthouse jederzeit weiter empfehlen.
