86 guests' feedbackVery pretty.
We had a nice stay. This is our third time staying at Seaside Shambali. Always try to stay in room 2.
Very nice stay, thank you. However, I would have felt safer if my motor vehicle could have slept inside the yard. Nicely located near the beach. Takeaway meals were within a few minutes drive. We would definitely recommend this place and use it again in the future.
Seaside Shambali is at the sea. Not only do you hear the washing of the rocks, you also feel the love of the ocean.
Absolutely very nice stay.
We had a lovely stay, it was very peaceful and could easily walk down to walk around the beach and rocks.
Enjoy a well-deserved Easter weekend. Sharon came to check if we might need anything and if we were satisfied. Unit 2 was pretty neat and clean. All-night lights outside are a big bonus when coming home in the evening. Sea view from the veranda was breathtaking for the mind. Thank you very much Sharon and the website for your service.
Beautiful view, short and easy walking distance to the sea. Apartment itself is beautiful and well furnished with the porch which is sheltered from the wind. Only criticism is that the description has secure parking as one of the features and you park on a patch of grass opposite the unit which is open to the public. There are cameras and a CCTV monitoring sign, but I feel the parking situation just needs to be highlighted more clearly for travelers to make their own choice as to whether they consider it safe. Otherwise, both Seaside Shambali and Gonubie are just a festival.
Thanks, it was nice. Will go back again in the future.
Wonderful! A restful, clean, friendly place. Top class.
It was very pleasant.
It was very nice. Quiet environment without any noise.
Nice stay. My only comment is that the bedside lights did not work and that the curtain in the bedroom is a sheer transparent white, and the morning sunshine glares through it. I would put a dark curtain there. Also, quite a few small cockroaches in the utensils drawer. The beach needs a clean, there is a lot of debris on the beach including glass.
We had a great time. Lovely by the sea.
If "walking the extra mile" was an Olympic event, our hosts would've won triple gold! Well-kept lawn, very close to the beach, wonderful water pressure in the shower, full DSTV, welcome flowers and chocolate.
We had a wonderful stay at Seaside Shambali. Accommodation was neat, clean and very comfortable. Everything you need is available. Quiet environment. Beautiful sea view.
Absolutely fabulous.
Very unfriendly hostess. Keys of gate and doors in extremely poor condition. Sink plug in flat 1 broken. No duvet, no barbecue, 1 wine glass, TV not working in flat 3.
Yes, very nice and saw the sea all the time.
Was delicious. Will definitely go again. Beautiful sea view.
My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our stay was extremely neat. The area itself was a quiet peaceful area. Definitely recommend and would go on holiday again anytime.
We booked 2 flats, they're both a lot bigger than expected. Beautifully done out with everything you need. No. 1 has the best braai area. Location cannot be beaten, right on the shoreline.
Owners were very friendly and hospitable. The only negative was that the front patio at the entrance of the unit was very dusty upon arrival and could not be used. It was cleaned 2 days later.
We only stayed at Seaside Shambali for one night and I wish we could've stayed for longer. Unit 2 was absolutely stunning and has everything you need in a kitchen. Walking distance to the beach and a beautiful view. Highly recommend Seaside Shambali.
Spacious, clean and tidy. Nice atmosphere. Owners go out of their way to make stay pleasant. Definitely one of my favorites so far. Will not stay anywhere else if we go to East London again. Thank you very much.
It was noted that the hot plate tripped the earth leakage circuit. In addition, the bedside lamp closest to the bathroom was not working.
Beautiful sea view in a peaceful environment! Owners are friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Friendly and helpful hosts!
We stayed in number 4 and people at two or three were having a barbecue. That smoke unfortunately got into our room.
The beautiful sea air was amazing. The silence was much needed.
Unwind at Shambali with the sound of the rolling waves. Breathe in the sea air and energise your inner being.
Safe, cozy and peaceful.
There is a stoep with braai facilities. There is DStv, there was no noise, it was peaceful.
Beautiful view, felt as if you are on the beach, but unfortunately the beach itself not great. Friendly and accommodating owners, they were very helpful.
We enjoyed staying there. Cleanliness is great. Hospitality from Sharon was excellent. Thank you very much for all the effort.
It's a bit far from the main beach but if you love fishing it's ok. Unobstructed sea view from veranda and room.
We had a great time. Nice barbecue on the stoep. Beautiful sea view. Host and wife were very friendly and helpful.
Went for walks and runs along the beach front to the main beach. Water was dirty only because of all the floods - but otherwise a beautiful area. We fished and caught / also have shells on the beach in front.
We were kindly received by Sharon and her husband. Lovely sea view. Quiet and peaceful. Nice big lawn in front of unit. Have a nice visit. Will definitely visit again.
Very friendly reception, clean and tidy place. Well located. Definitive place to go if you want to go on holiday in Gonubie.
Very nice stay. Sharon is very hospitable and we enjoyed our time very much. The place has everything you need.
Sharon, the hostess was very friendly. She went out of her way to help us.
The hosts were very friendly, as were the staff. We immediately feel at home. We will definitely stay a week next time. The unit is clean, tidy and everything you need is there.
Ideal accommodation for dogs. We enjoyed every moment there.
Clean and tidy with everything you need in the kitchen. All problem was that there was no DSTV available. As we are elderly persons, we prefer DSTV and not Netflix etc. no, but it wasn't a big problem.
Our week at Seaside Shambali was fantastic. Everything was incredibly neat with privacy that can be found in few accommodations. It takes you out of the busy part of town where you can sit and spend quality time with loved ones while looking out over the sea. We could see whales and dolphins from our porch. Seaside Shambali will definitely see us again!
Thank you for your hospitality and desire to see our every need met.
Daar was 'n paar klein dingetjies in die woonstel wat aandag kort maar die uitsig en afstand na die strand toe maak op daarvoor!
Hospitable owners for whom nothing is too much to ask.
Absolutely wonderful place to stay. We were there for 4 nights and the unit has absolutely everything you need. Will definitely visit again.
We can recommend Seaside Shambali with great pleasure and will definitely stay there if we are in that direction again. Sharon helped us with accommodation at very short notice after we had really taken a pretty big windfall with booking an overnight stay in East London itself. The place in East London was in a really poor area and Sharon immediately helped us with a place with them when we contacted them through the website out of desperation. Thoroughly recommendable!
Pleasant owners and DStv available. Nice braai facilities. Will definitely go again.
The hosts were charming people and made us feel welcomed. The stay was comfortable, just about 150 meters to the beachfront with its rock formations.
The rooms are spacious, neat, and very homely.
Great location and view. Friendly owners. Well-equipped with everything needed for self-catering.
The room was very spacious, had everything you need and more and the view is wonderful. Sharon was very helpful and we really had no problem.
The pictures on the internet do not do Seaside Shambali justice. We loved the space, decor and little touches. The kindness and generosity of the owners was above and beyond. We would definitely go back and recommend this accommodation to anyone and everyone.
Enjoyed it very much, very neat. Recommend it anytime.
Very friendly hostess and room had everything needed by loadshedding too.
Very pleasant place, Gonubie itself also a pleasant place and the owners were very friendly.
Very nice view and neat place, well equipped. Very relaxing.
We could sit on our porch and see the sea. Very neat and beautiful.
The house and surroundings are very beautiful and well maintained.
You feel right at home, very central location. Would recommend for a nice weekend destination.
Beautiful well-kept self-catering. Near the ocean. Nice beach. Everything you need. Super.
We really enjoyed it in Apartment 1. The place was clean and tidy when we arrived. Many thanks to the owners, they are so friendly and helped us the whole time on the phone and explained how to get there when we got lost. Thank you very much again, it's so beautiful down there by the sea. We will recommend Seaside Shambali to our family and friends. The only thing I would like to see improved is safer parking for the motor vehicles. Otherwise, it was fantasy. Thank you very much.
Friendly people and value for money.
However, the following are in short supply and may need to be taken along. Shredder grill, braising pan, sharp knives, plastic containers for leftovers.
Having the sea view was definitely a benefit of the unit.
Will visit again. Very neat and equipped with everything you need.
Ideal for young people and fishermen.
Very nice stay. Will stay there again.
I would visit again.
Lovely place to stay. Silver clean, comfortable, modern. A stone's throw from the beach, with beautiful shells. Concerned hostess who made sure everything was ok and allowed us to check in a few hours earlier. Parking not behind a gate, but right in front of a security camera, had no problems.
Affordable and quiet after 8 hours on the road.
Our room was adequate. However, still the second day we were transferred to an even better room with full assistance from the staff.
Friendly and accommodating hosts - good value and comfortable.
Beautiful place. We had a very nice stay. Will stay there again.
There was no coffee, tea, sugar or milk put out. No soap or shampoo in bathroom. There were small bottles of shower gel and hand wash cleaner in the bathroom for less than one use and only one roll of toilet paper. There was no personal meeting with the owner. Someone did meet us in the street to tell us to drive around to the back of the house and said the keys were under a rock when we got there. We had to find our unit ourselves using the keys. No meals are provided as the owner informs us. communicated in a WhatsApp message. Her assistant who she said would help us with any help was nowhere to be seen. Otherwise the unit was clean and tidy. We were quite disappointed.
We will definitely use Shambali again! Beautiful house, room and garden. Very friendly owners! The beach has many shells and stones. Als was just beautiful and delicious! Can't wait to stay there again!
On the ocean, lovely deck and private.
We enjoyed it very much. Hostess and Host were very friendly and kindly helped us.
See stars
We enjoyed the short time immensely, the place is very tastefully decorated, the hostess and husband are friendly and we enjoyed our visit with Sharon and Tyron very much. Thank you for your hospitality in these dry times of SA.
Customer service was great. We immediately felt at home. It was like our own home for a few days in another province.
