Reviewed May 15, 2026Wir waren nach unserer Ankunft in Südafrika eine Nacht in dieser Unterkunft. Wir wurden sehr, sehr herzlich empfangen und hatten ein sehr schönes, geschmackvoll eingerichtetes großes Zimmer mit Meerblick. Da wir im Winter unterwegs sind, war für uns ein wirkliches Highlight, dass man elektrische Heizdecken im Bett hatte. Das hat das eh schon sehr gemütliche Bett noch gemütlicher gemacht. Das Personal war extrem liebenswürdig, das Frühstück klasse und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

The were some minor issues with the leaking sink and shower faucet. It did not bother us much, but the leakage from the sink into the under-sink cabinet caused some bed smell. Also, it would be a pity to let these items corrode further. The owners should take care of these matters as soon as possible.

Reviewed Jul 26, 2024I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Admiralty. I did not find any aspects of my stay to be disagreeable. This establishment effortlessly provides a five-star experience, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that guests feel welcome and comfortable. I was warmly greeted by Charlotte, who is an exceptional individual. The actual space is even more impressive than the pictures depict, and it is situated in a tranquil section of the area. Despite its peaceful location, it is still within walking distance of several restaurants and amenities. I appreciated the convenience of having a garage with a small convenience store across the road for snacks, but it is worth noting that Boardwalk is just a short distance away from the establishment. I was particularly delighted by the thoughtful touches, such as the muffins and cappuccino that were available outside of breakfast hours. I value excellent service, and I must say that I had an incredibly restful sleep. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the room was spotlessly clean.
The fact that I was only booked for one night, But other than that, everything was perfect!
