31 guests' feedbackIt is unusual not to be allowed to check in until 16h00. The provision that the 'economy' room excludes the 'common areas' and swimming pool made me feel like a 'second class' guest. There were no welcoming extras like at other places (eg biscuits, fruit, chocolate). Besides, the milk was already expired by the previous year's date, so I couldn't enjoy my early morning coffee. The one wall plug was not available, and there was almost no hot water in the shower. I wanted to rest, away from my busy practice, but the owner used the time to tell me about her very personal problems, which was not only unprofessional and uninvited, but emotionally taxing. I informed her about it and sent a bill for my service (I am a therapist): she did not respond or apologize. The experience was unpleasant and I left as soon as possible in the morning.
Very comfortable and accommodating staff.
Very neat and clean. Nice stay.
Beautiful beaches within close walking proximity along with abundant penguins and dassies. The cottage had everything you would need. Thoughtfully decorated with very comfortable beds and pillows.
We had a lovely time away and we loved the place and the location.
It would have been better if one could already check in at 14:00 in cities from 16:00.
The place was lovely, the hostess charming and informative, the food great. Recommend it unreservedly.
Wonderful location with very good service. The staff went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible.
Our stay at Stay at Friends was perfect. Our room was neat and tidy and the staff were very helpful and respectful.
The reception was warm.
Neat, pleasant people.
We felt so welcome. The owner welcomed us kindly and everything was neat and ready. They think of little things, like having a spare battery pack in your room ready for when you want to go out and your phone dies. Delicious, unexpected scones received on Valentine's morning.
The place was very neat, clean and private - away from everything. Ideal getaway spot.
One thing I want to know is fragrance used in the room to make smell so wonderful, I need the name and where can I find it, please?
I would visit stay at friends again anytime. Beautiful landscape, penguins around the corner, good sleep and good service!
An exceptionally well-run guest house with all the necessary. A warm welcome and you'll have everything you need. A fantastic getaway and comfortable stay.
We had a good time and the service was good. The weather was not nice, so we couldn't enjoy the sea.
Fantastic place and fantastic service.
Tidy. Wonderful hospitality.
Helene and Du Toit and their five little doggies made us feel so welcome upon arrival! Thanks for the nice warm muffins for Sunday breakfast!
Helene is a fantastic hostess. Unit was very neat and clean!
Beautiful. Restful. Nice and neat. Service is fantastic. Breakfast indescribably delicious. So beautifully prepared. Friendly people. Definitely recommended. Already my second time there. As they say a "must to go there".
Will definitely go again and hospitality from Helene was very nice. Will definitely recommend to friends.
Warm, friendly reception and quality accommodation. We were pleasantly surprised! Highly recommended.
We've been treated with the most welcoming atmosphere from start-go, even Uno and Caco welcomed us at their home. Helen is available 24/7 for any help you may need, and gave us 5 star treatment from arrival up to departure.The breakfast in bed was amazing, we really appreciated the special treatment. We would definitely visit Stay At Friends again, and would recommend this place without a doubt to all friends! Thanks again for making our weekend special, Helen!
Helene was an excellent host and stay was great.
This was a wonderful discovery. Hospitality of the highest grade, very clean rooms, a swimming pool that is not too cold, a well-informed host. We must visit again soon.
Stay at Friends is very neat and from the moment we arrived we felt at home. Will definitely go there again.
Had a peaceful weekend. Thank you very much for the lovely accommodation. Will definitely do it again.
We had a very nice stay. Helene was friendly and made us the best breakfast. The location is ideal - close to the beach.
