72 guests' feedbackThe hostess welcomed us warmly and even helped to carry our (lots of) luggage to our room. She even came the next day to find out if everything was okay and if we needed any help. The apartment was clean and tidy and very comfortable.
Very relaxing environment.
Wonderful, host was so kind and helpful.
Hubby & I had a lovely, relaxing stay at this beautiful little place So nice waking up to the beautiful sounds of the birds & surrounded by the beautiful plants & trees! A short walk took us onto a beautiful beach The host was very friendly & super helpful! We will definitely be going back to this little gem.
I stayed in the Gecko room, and apart from the beautiful decor, the unit is very neat and practical with everything and more that one could need. The garden is beautiful and creates a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. The hostess is very helpful, friendly and makes you feel right at home. Secure parking. Keep in mind there are some stairs to climb to the room, but it's worth it.
It was very comfortable and we felt it was value for money as a stop-over.
Private peace of mind, no noise, wonderful. Just what we needed.
Our stay was fantastic and wonderfully peaceful. We would definitely recommend it.
Nice, safe and relaxing.
We had a very nice stay. The hostess was excellent. She made a lot of effort with us (Easter egg hunt for our 4-year-old in the garden + lent a buggy and graph for the beach for our boy). The place was neat and clean. The kitchen has all the necessary supplies. It's a nice little place.
Fantastic escape, a few steps to climb but so worth it.
Very well-furnished accommodation, private and peaceful. Considerate and caring hostess. Close proximity to the beach and lovely walks. Highly recommended!
Very friendly and very good service, will always go back there.
Serene surroundings and beach within walking distance. Will definitely return soonest. Exceptional stay. Hospitable host. Beautiful and well-equipped cottage. Serene surroundings and beach within walking distance. Will definitely return soonest.
Our hostess, Sunami, was amazing - we were upgraded to a bigger unit when we arrived and we had a wonderful stay.
Thank you very much for everything. Kindness and hospitality. Thank you very much for all your trouble in sending my daughter's vanity case by courier to Ballito. Really appreciate it.
Our accommodation was very comfortable and in keeping with the true beach holiday expectations. The only recommendation would be to provide loungers for the apartment we were staying in to facilitate late afternoon post-beach reading in the afternoon sunshine! And to make the most of the privacy of the well-cared-for garden! This is not a criticism at all, just a suggestion!
Very helpful and fulfilled all our needs. Lovely place.
We got more than we paid for. On arrival our accommodation was upgraded. The accommodation is very nice and has everything one needs in a home. The area in which accommodation is located is very peaceful. Sanumi is an excellent hostess and very kind.
From arrival to departure we were pampered by our hostess. The accommodation is well equipped and meets most of our needs. Water restrictions are unfortunate and disruptive, but the hostess was very helpful.
Awesome stay. Was well taken care of by the owner. Beds were super comfortable.
Port Alfred is 1 of the best.
It is the best place if you want to relax your mind and just want peace and quiet.
See stars.
Very clean and tidy, the pool is an absolute bonus. Just get ready for a steep set of stairs to the unit and keep the windows closed, the monkeys are having a good time there! Very friendly hostess and helpful, would go back anytime. Port Alfred beach is also very beautiful and clean.
Neat, clean, friendly and lovely silence.
Very relaxing and quiet.
The cottage was completely adequate with everything one needed. We were welcomed by the hostess on a really friendly basis. Loads made things difficult, but it was Eskom. For older people like us, I would not recommend the place because there are an awful lot of stairs to climb, but I must add that the hostess offered helpers to get our stuff upstairs.
Very friendly reception and the hostess accommodated our requests. Good value for money given what we were looking for.
Very boring environment with no access to TV. Not an ideal place to unwind.
I would definitely recommend 3040 on Freshwater. Friendly reception. Comfortable and very neat.
Accommodation is specially equipped and decorated, extremely comfortable and homely. The location is excellent and the hostess and her husband went out of their way to make us feel at home. It feels like you leave a piece of yourself there. I highly recommend 3040 on Freshwater! Bravo Sanumi and team!
We really enjoyed it, especially the silence, the cleanliness of the place and good hostess.
Good facilities. Very safe and private.
Kindness and much hospitality received. Place is very clean and tidy.
Friendly hostess.
I would not recommend for older people, the stilts to the house were very steep and the parking was very small.
The owner did her best to make me feel at home.
Sanumi goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome. Units are nice and clean and each with its own identity. You can relax. There are many steps up to the units. The beach is beautiful.
Will definitely go again,
The climb from the parking area up to the unit was quite difficult, especially in the rain.
Sanumi is a wonderful hostess, home away from home. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.
Very nice and peaceful area.
Close to beach and with beautiful garden. Access to small pool when the pool unit is not booked. Clean, neat, rustic.
The idea was time-out and that was exactly what I got! The location is fantastic, it's wonderfully quiet with just the ocean you hear. Very well equipped with everything you need. Bedding, towels, pillows - everything perfect. Units are also very private. Will definitely recommend and will go back again. The stairs/hill to the unit is nice, but you are informed beforehand so it's not a surprise. Just take a little something for mosquitoes.
Wonderfully friendly hostess. Will definitely recommend it to people over 60, if alternative arrangements are made to assist with baggage. Very steep up hill to the accommodation.
Accommodation was lovely, and Sanumi made sure we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The Guesthouse is located close to all amenities as well as the beach. It felt like home away from home.
Sal beslis terugkom!
The room was clean and beautiful. Loved the the pool. Service was the best. I will definitely go back.
Port Alfred is such a beautiful place with cool sea breeze.
Clean, friendly. Self-catering should have ironing board and iron, this was missing. Not conducive for the elderly and disabled.
No complaints. Would recommend as a place to stay. Very kindly welcomed by Sanumi.
The place was fully booked but there was no noise, the old stuff really looked nice though, the gas part for the geyser. Water was lukewarm. The owner and the manager very friendly and tend to all our needs.
The accommodation felt like home away from home. We were absolutely comfortable and relaxed. We had everything we needed right there. We will most definitely be back.
Sanumi, you are a great hostess. Thank you for the clean accommodation. Your garden is beyond words. We were sorry to go. Enjoyed each day and would recommend you to others.
The host and hostess are very helpful and friendly. Hear the sea from the house.
Very pleasant and friendly hostess. The room we stayed in is completely adequate for a self-catering situation. The environment is beautiful. Would stay here again.
Port Alfred is worth at least a week's visit. Next time longer!
We had a very nice stay. We were welcomed very kindly by the hostess and were even upgraded for free to a larger unit which was very nice, especially with a two year old. We stayed in Rusty Hook, the unit was very nice, clean and tidy and had everything you need. The beach is nice and close so you can just walk if you want. We decided to try out their homemade pizzas on the last night and would highly recommend it, it's delicious!
See stars.
I think they should improve on providing iron and ironing board in each unit. I had to wear a crispy top.
It was our second stay at 3040 on Freshwater and we'll book again next year.
Enjoyed a lot. Central point from which one can enjoy traveling around. Good value for money.
Very close to the sea, clean and neat with everything you might need. We will definitely stay there again.
See stars.
Was kindly received and had everything we needed.
Not recommended for people with walking disabilities as some units are built on a steep incline.
The hostess gave us excellent service and went out of her way to assist.
Lovely cottage, hidden away from the bustle yet only a two minute walk to a beautiful beach. The cottage had a private splash pool surrounded by lush green foliage and mature trees. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Definitely going back again!
We stayed at Gecko Cove and really enjoyed this place. It is authentic, rather quirky and close to the beach. Moreover, if you decide to accept the option for a dinner, you can be sure you get a fantastic dinner. The table was even laid for us, so we could dig in straight after our walk on the beach. Walking distance to the beach - what else do you want?
