88 guests' feedbackIt is a neat and well maintained place. The hostess is friendly and hospitable. Their breakfast is 5 star.
Very pleasant overnight in a comfortable room with an outside patio. Hosts were most welcoming and provided us with a delicious packed breakfast as we needed to depart early. Easy access close to the main thoroughfare.
Very clean and tidy. The room had everything I needed. The owner and her husband were very kind, friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay there again if I get the chance.
Had a great time, would just like to have TV in room.
We had a very nice stay. Private garden/sitting area outside at room no 1. Nice big breakfast before we leave. We were treated very hospitably.
Very neat, friendly reception.
It was our second time staying at the Forestview Guesthouse, and the experience was equally great.
Friendly owners, great location in Sedgefield. Only there for one evening but would have liked to have stayed longer. Would recommend!
The breakfast was delicious. Very neat and nice service.
Would stay there again.
Reception was very friendly. The guest house is incredibly clean. My room was comfortable. Will definitely stay there again. Thanks Jenny!
We really enjoyed our stay. Hosts were very pleasant.
100 percent recommendation, good service, cleanliness.
Home away from home.
The owners make you feel welcome. Very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend the place. Incredible value for money.
Thank you to Jenny and Kenneth for the wonderful stay at their B&B.
It was a wonderful place, well located. Friendly welcome from Jenny and Ken, and their hospitality was the best.
The family and I were warmly welcomed. No start-up friendliness, but absolute, warm welcome. Was carried on the hands. It really felt like we were home. Will definitely recommend Forestview. Thank you Forestview, Ken and Jenny.
Centrally located. Friendly helpful hostess.
See rating.
Many thanks to the winning team at Forestview. From the moment we rang the doorbell, we couldn't complain. You were definitely friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit again and recommend you too.
Beautiful against the mountains of Sedgefield. Very close to several beaches. Close to shops and a petrol station. Good insulation and very cozy. Friendly people who are always ready to help sort out any problems to make you comfortable. I will definitely book there again on our next vacation.
It was never an issue for Jenny to do anything for us, very hospitable, friendly and the rooms and dining area are spotless.
Ken and Jenny are very pleasant hosts who went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Really enjoyed it.
Friendly, helpful hostess with accommodation that meets high requirements.
Hospitality is totally tops!
Slept very well and had breakfast.
Very friendly service, but room very cramped. No air conditioning or roof fan. At least the hostess made a standing fan available to us. Breakfast was delicious.
Will definitely use again and recommend to friends and family.
Will definitely go back and when I go to Sedgefield will always stay at Forest Lodge!
Very friendly people, recommendable place to visit.
Very neat and very friendly service. Loved it and will definitely stay at Forestview again! Thanks for the professional arrangements and communication.
Very well located with affordable accommodation. Very friendly service. Thank you.
Hostess (Jenny) and her husband looked after us well and the room and facilities were clean and tidy. They were also accommodating and allowed us to leave later at no extra charge. The only negative comment I can mention (which you can't do anything about) is that the guest house is close to the main street and that the road noise might bother some people. However, it is well located to get to other places.
The area is really beautiful and the accommodation there is satisfying.
We were warmly welcomed and the accommodation was well prepared. Meals arranged according to our needs. Daily cleaning service. Our privacy were respected at all times (fantastic). Within walking distance from shops and facilities. Safe and reasonable tariffs.
We weren't in Sedgefield long enough, but will definitely stay here again when we need to be in the area.
Adequate accommodation. Fab breakfast. Fantastic couple, Jenny and Ken. Caring, helpful and very friendly.
We were treated like family. Had access to the living room, kitchen, dining room. That was what made it so nice. We were carried on our hands. Jenny went out of her way to make us feel at home, and to collect leaflets to give us advice on where to go. This after she asked us what we liked, etc. I haven't had such personal, caring attention in a long time. We just felt special.
Excellent location. Comfortable bed. Clean, neat and well equipped room.
My wife and I were on a trip through the Garden Route for our wedding anniversary and had a great stay in Forestview Guesthouse. Our privacy was respected and a lot of effort was made to make us feel at home.
Forestview is very well situated and the grounds very pleasant. The room was easy for my husband to access on crutches and the owner Jenny and her partner were extremely helpful and accommodating. The room we had was very big and comfortable and included a huge armchair for my husband to relax in. Although the decor is somewhat dated, the value for money and the friendliness of the hosts makes that a minor detail.
We really appreciated the hospitality from the owner.
Just warn guests that the guesthouse is close to a busy road and the noise from the traffic was very bad.
Although the photos on the website paint a picture, it's not quite what you get, we felt it was misleading. The bedding was stained and old and the mattresses had seen better days. The bin in the room does not have a lid and is simply lined with a plastic shopping bag. The bath towels are worn and old and way too much decor (old) in the room. It is also a bit full and little space to be able to put something like your bag etc. comfortably. The place was neat and clean but we felt it was completely overpriced compared to the other places we stayed.
Although the room was clean, the decor is old and shabby. Coffee cups were just upside down on a plastic, 1 ply toilet paper, Ricoffy coffee, soap container was a plastic container that is only refilled and label already comes off. Lots of noise from main road throughout the night. You park behind a gate but the cars are accessible from the garden gate.
Will use the guest house again.
I can't complain about the accommodation, we were well received even though it was already after 19:00. Our host and his wife were very friendly and had a nice chat, I recommend Forestview Gastehuis to all my friends, and would like to stay there again in the future. Thank you Forestview Guesthouse.
Jennie is an excellent hostess who always has time for her visitors. Very helpful with information about the area. She makes you feel like you could be part of her friends or family. Will definitely stay there again.
Was pleasantly surprised with the hospitality from the time we arrived until we left. It was certainly not our last visit.
Very satisfied with everything. The host and wife received us very well and I would stay there again any day.
The service was excellent. You feel very much at home. What makes it feel even more like your home is that the owner chats with you while she prepares your breakfast and welcomes you by name. Also has a very nice view to the side of the mountain from where "paragliding" is done.
Very nice stay and the hostess was very friendly and helpful.
Bed very soft and traffic in main road a bit noisy, but the way our host and hostess went out of their way to accommodate us was worth the stay. Already planning our next trip there.
Please see the stars.
Guest rooms very neat and all facilities were at our disposal.
Two great people to be around, they made us feel so welcome. Everything was clean and tidy, would stay there again anytime.
I would recommend Forestview Guesthouse anytime. Jenny and her husband are pleasant people who go out of their way to make things easier for you. I really appreciated their hospitality.
We had a very nice two nights in Sedgefield with a very friendly and helpful hostess, Jenny and her husband. We plan to visit there again.
Had a great stay. The owners are very friendly and hospitable people. Would stay there again anytime and recommend anyone to stay there overnight. Very peaceful atmosphere with a nice view of the mountain.
The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and tidy. We slept wonderfully and will also refer other people to the guest house.
Very friendly reception. Just felt at home. Delicious breakfast. Hope to visit again soon.
Everything was clean and tidy. Everything was very pleasant and the nicest part was the friendliness of the owners. The room and house were spotless, and clean towels were provided every day.
Nice place! It was a very pleasant stay and the place was clean, well furnished and the owners very helpful.
Although it is an older place with older furniture (antiques) we were very impressed with how neat and clean the rooms were. The owner and staff were also very friendly, but by no means to the extent that our privacy was compromised.
See the stars below.
The setup is somewhat peculiar in that one shares the guest house's kitchen with the other guests. It was clean but required guests to sync their usage. We had a good barbecue two nights and the barbecue area was cleaned for us. Their shower facilities are excellent.
Forestview has a good location just off the thoroughfare through town, and also close to the restaurants. My room was large and clean with an en-suite bathroom - good for the price. I would have liked an outside sitting area with tables and chairs. The towels in the bathroom were worn out, and the shower head is small. For a short stay it is very reasonable value - the owners are friendly.
We had a nice time here.
We are happy to recommend this guest house to travelers on that route. Environment also very nice and recommend a quick drive down to the beach area, before traveling on. Eateries and garage diagonally opposite the main street.
The stay was very safe and relaxed. The hospitality was very good and the people were also very helpful.
Good value for money. Very pleasant stay!
Everyone was friendly and helpful, even the heater in the room was turned on for me. We would definitely recommend it.
Pleasant, friendly and clean.
The guest house is well managed. There is a homely atmosphere.
The owners are very friendly and hospitable.
Our stay at Forest View Guesthouse was very pleasant - the hosts Ken and Jenny were friendly and the breakfast excellent. Thank you Ken!! You made as feel at home - we will definitively recommend you to friends
Forestview was fantastic, all the staff were very friendly and helpful and were more than willing to accommodate any and all of our requests
We so enjoyed our stay at Forestview & our time spent in Sedgefield! Had an outstanding meal closeby & enjoyed the beach! Thank you Jen for your friendliness & hospitality! Our son is happily settled at Saasveld!
The hosts were very friendly and helpful - and they serve the best breakfast ever!
This was only an overnight stop on our way to the Eastern Cape but it was really first class. Jenny and Ken were very gracious, helpful and charming hosts.
The hosts at Forestview were lovely! They saw to our needs, and served a great breakfast. The only complaint was the main road's traffic.
Jenny and Kennith are kind and caring hosts who make you feel at home - it almost felt like visiting my parents. Thank you guys!!
Wonderful hospitality and a great place.
The most outstanding feature of this establishment is that it is extremely clean and very well run. Our room was comfortable and we had direct access to the lounge and kitchen. The three other guests were very friendly and we had pleasant chats with them and our hosts. It was interesting sitting virtually in the kitchen while the owner (a qualified and experienced chef) prepared our breakfast. We all parted as if we were friends of long standing. Really a pleasant stay!!!
Nice and clean accommodation. A little too close to the N2 though. You'll need a car to going to the beach, however they have an excellent breakfast. As well as friendly and helpful landlords.
It was absolutely amazing, and our entire family felt the same. We got lots of tips from the hosts, and they made our stay one filled with precious memories.nWe were treated like kings, our breakfast was ready when we came out of our room, the house is furnished beautifully with gorgeous accessories, all very African. When you want to braai, Ken sorts everything out for you, you just have to light the fire! Thank you so much for sacrificing your lives to ensure others have a good time!nAnd Ken and Jenny are so kind to the children, our little boy had the time of his life! It's absolutely worth it to visit Forest View Guest House!!!
