Satisfactory

The B & B was fine, perhaps the bed was a bit small and the constant use of doona's in accommodation I find is too hot with no other lighter option. We did not eat there so can't comment on that. WI Fi slow

Beautiful setting

On arrival, was met by the owner, Ian. Went out of his way to welcome me and make me feel at home. Continual contact throughout my stay was friendly and warm. This was extended by the lady who cleaned the room too. Highly recommend this Guest House.

Die Lodge ist in guter Lage zum Zentrum, dennoch ruhig gelegen. Der Service und die Zimmer sind erstklassig. Ian (der Eigentümer) bietet einen 110% Service an und erfüllt einem jeden Wunsch. Es ist eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre und als Gast fühlt man sich rundum gut betreut.Man kann diese Unterkunft sowohl Privat- als auch Geschäftsreisenden nur empfehlen.

Toller Aufenthalt in Sedgefield

Wir hatten eine Suite mit 2 Schlafzimmern für 2 Nächte gebucht und dann noch eine Nacht verlängert Die Suite ist grosszügig und komplett ausgestattet. Selbst Strandschirm und Kühlbox gab es! Alles war sauber und in gutem Zustand. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich, der Service sehr gut. Die Lodge liegt in der Nähe der N2, zum Strand sind es mit dem Auto knapp 10 Minuten. Wir würden die Lodge auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen

Een goed verblijf.....

De eigenaar is een goede gastheer. Stranden zijn mooi. Het bezoek, met de auto, aan Goukamma Nature Reserve was een teleurstelling. Misschien.is het iets voor wandelaars.
