Tolle Lage in guter Gegend von PE, nur wenige Meter zum Strand, sehr saubere Anlage mit Pool und Parkplätzen, tolles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!
Frühstücksbuffet könnte abwechslungsreicher sein
Neat and close to the beach. Good service from staff as well.
Confort et calme Propreté Petit déjeuner Discrétion et professionnalisme du personnel
Un aménagement extérieur sur le balcon aurait été un plus Manque Netflix Trop de lumière dans la chambre comme partout en AFS
The property is lovely
The pool was dirty even though didn’t use it. Towels smell like they didn’t dry up. They didn’t have lemons or powder milk for coffee during breakfast. Rooms didn’t have water bottles. The breakfast was really mediocre
Wir sind gegen 19:30 angekommen und wurden reingelassen, war aber kein echter Empfang und wir waren ein bisschen verwirrend. Zimmer war ganz ok, nichts besonderes, aber sauber. Frühstück auch ganz in Ordnung, und Check-out schnell. Ort war auch ok, nah an der Küste.
Location was very convenient. Staff were helpful .
Decent hotel, room was abit aged. Mattress felt cheap but on the other hand the hotel was reasonably priced and in a great location. That said, i WOULD book here again
Excellent location, very clean, super friendly and helpful staff and felt very safe. A special thank you to Weston who is a star, such a lovely man
Nothing
Good variety, fresh and tasty.
Very friendly staff, Weston is a very kind man
The breakfast was very good and you, had options, i.e hot or cold. with juice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very neat and tidy.

We just loved the host, Westin. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and comfortable. I dropped my credit card on the floor whilst booking our Uber to the airport and Westin went out of his way to deliver the card to me at the airport. That was the cherry on the top. The housekeeping staff were also just so friendly. Breakfast was all we could ask for. Thanks so much Westin. We will be back.
Needed a dishcloth in the kitchenette.
Location, price, room setting and overall service was great
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with a great breakfast offering. The location was central for our work purposes. It was a great stay!
Perfect breakfast, and daily choice
Location and security.
Both bed lamps had no two point plugs to plug in. Would expect lamps to work
Nice pool, lovely breakfast, great location, lovely staff.
Room didn't feel super private but curtains did the trick!
Vår lägenhet var jätte stor med ett stort allrum , 4 sovrum, 2 kök , relaxrum och ute grill. Stora grön ytor och en relativt hygglig pool.
Parking at the property. Nice pool. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.
Room was a bit outdated.
The facility and the place was so clean.
Breakfast was dry, e.sausage and Bacon too dry.
Room was comfortable Nice atmosphere in guesthouse

We arrived and everything was in excellent condition, exactly as described on their website. I'm thrilled with the quality room it was nice and clean ,very comfortable.Breakfast was delicious.
Loved everything about it.
workers are trying
there is no passion.
Lovely big room overlooking the pool.
The first night we short amenities in the room, like tissues, cotton wool, no bathmat or face cloth, and then there is no one to ask for it, only the security guy. The last night no bottled water.
NOTHING
PLEASE SEE COMMENT BELOW
The sincerity of the staff and the secure location, with secure parking, 24 hour security too. Size of room with balcony was great to a partial, beautiful sea view.
Ladies could do with a mirror at the dressing table/desk and a plug point for the hairdryer.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice

the location is fantastic and nice and secure.

The staff was amazing and so friendly and helpful! We loved our stay 😊 Also the rooms were bigger than usual, well equipped and they had a generator so the loadshedding did not affect us. Also the WiFi was good 😊

staff were friendly, lovely location.
The room was spacious, nice bed and good location, on walking distance of the new mall.
Breakfast was really, really bad. Yoghurts, fruits and juice were very warm, the eggs they made were bad. The bacon was old. Looked like the food was old, maybe due to lack of guests but that should not be our problem.
It is central,the room very private and with load shedding, electricity was available.

We stayed for one night only and the location was good as it was close to PE airport. The check in was easy and parking was available. We had two rooms booked which were clean, comfortable and quiet, both overlooking the pool area. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was very good and the staff were friendly. A good experience, thank you.
Nothing
We had an early flight, so we looked for place to stay close to the airport. For this our selection was OK, because it took only around 10 minutes to get to the airport. We could park on the property and the staff was friendly. Otherwise it was the worst place to stay on our trip. It was OK for what we needed, but all the other places we stayed had been much nicer.
The room was small and quite dark. There kitchenette was equipped very poor. The only place to sit outside was behind our room on uncomfortable seats. But maybe there we had been unlucky, because that other rooms had quite nice balconies with better seats.
- Perfect location for starting PLZ - nice staff - good room
- doors not very quiet
nice atmosphere
Weston delivered superb customer service, right from the booking process, to personally meeting us at check-in as well as ensuring my partner had plant-based breakfast options. The beds were super comfy and the bathroom spotless with a lovely shower. The breakfast room was lovely with a view over the internal courtyard & pool area. There were great options/choices for breakfast, which exceeded our expectations. Safe, secure parking was available and we had a relaxing stay.
Nothing to dislike.
Spacious accomodation with good facilities. The breakfast was very good. All the staff were excellent especially Weston who looked after me well. I was travelling alone and Weston made sure I was safe - even offered to come and fetch me from a restaurant if needed ! It is a quiet and safe venue and an oasis in a somewhat busy area of PE.
Having to leave !!
The location is excellent and close to many places of interest. Winston the day manager was excellent. The place is very good value for money.
Nothing.
Breakfast was well presented and very tasty. Kitchen staff very helpful and friendly. Room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. A huge plus is that one can sit comfortably in the gardens which we really enjoyed.
Everything was perfect. Cannot fault the staff or facilities. Car park was a little cramped but manageable.

staff were awesome: clean, comfortable, well appointed.
Place was exceptionally clean. Staff had been friendly and helpful
Spent a lovely 10 nights at First Ave Guesthouse and enjoyed essentially everything about the time. The staff were friendly, the room was nice, the breakfast was great and the location perfect. By the end, it almost felt like home.
A lovely large guest house with rooms attached to the main building as well as in annexes. A very well kept pool area. The room was spacious and light with a shared verandah as well as a fully equipped small kitchen area with microwave and fridge. Excellent Manager and staff with a good selection of both hot and cold food for breakfast served in a lovely breakfast area overlooking the pool. There is an honesty bar and snacks available throughout the day. Close to the seafront and walkable to bars and resaurants. Would definitely return
Guesthouse com boa localização, quarto confortável e café da manhã muito bom. O único inconveniente é que na reserva dizia que tinha ventilador no quarto, mas chegando lá não havia nada.
The staff were very helpful, in particularWeston, nothing was too much trouble. Convenient area for day safaris and sea cruise.
Very good B&B with friendly staff, good breakfast and short walk to many good restaurants and bars, would book again if in the area.
Excellent accommodation, the staff were very attentive and friendly. Good location
Expetionally friendly and comfortable guesthouse, including an excellent breakfast freshly prepared to order plus fresh fruits, cereals etc. Weston and the other team members are really caring for the wellbeing of the guests, from reception, information on anything you can imagine, organising transport, taking care of laundry and printing, and even getting up at 5 in the morning to ensure the arranged transfer works. Location is great for the beach and the Boardwalk complex, while beeing very calm. Rooms are spacious and clean with very comfortable beds. Highly recomended!
