Highly recommend

Stayed here for a month while working at a hospital nearby. Absolutely excellent - clean, helpful and kind staff, comfortable and spacious. Great for a long business stay. As a wheelchair user I had the accessible room, which was the most accessible disabled room I’ve stayed while in South Africa. Roll-under sink, grab rails in the bathroom, shower seat and adjustable height shower, mini-threshold ramps. Would definitely recommend.

Good spot in East London

The in is nice and in a very good location on a lake. However, my card was charged before I arrived, even though I asked for payment at the hotel. Also, I did not receive points for my stay as it appears the inn charged me directly.

Lovely place to stay.

What a wonderful place to stay. Spacious rooms, modern bathroom and lovely environment. Scrumptious breakfast. The rooms are large, airy and very clean. Very firm bed, but still quite comfortable. Will definitely stay here again if I were to visit East London again.

The setting is beautiful, and we had easy access to the garden and a view of the lake. The only thing I would have appreciated was a small thing: I'd have like the choice to use curtains that didn't block out all the light: early mornings there are absolutely the best time, and being able to wake up with the light coming in is amazing.

As good as it gets in East london

This is as good as it gets in East London, a city that leaves a lot to be desired. The room was super clean and Julie at the front desk was super helpful. The hotel is located in a safe, residential neighborhood, but there's very little in walking distance. The wi-fi was horrible, but they were aware in the process of getting it fixed. All in all, would recommend... IF you have to visit East London, which is imminently skippable unless you have a reason to visit.

Serenity in the midst of the bustle.

Great place to hide away from the moderately consistent hustle and bustle of Vincent area in East London. Serene setting, friendly staff, well-appointed rooms, and excellent breakfasts. Love this spot and always recommend it to colleagues.
