112 guests' feedbackWe had a great stay, the only problem we had was that the fridge smelled a bit musty, but otherwise everything was 100% and we will definitely come again.
Absolutely wonderful! The hostess was very welcoming and warm. The facilities were lovely and clean with everything needed for self-catering. I did not want to leave and next time I will certainly book myself in for much longer. I loved the well-tended garden. The love was almost tangible. Also, the wildlife and scenery were breathtaking.
Comfortable. Close to the river. Rowing is free. Friendly reception. Wi-Fi and DSTV.
We had a nice, very nice stay.
A friendly host with a unit located in an amazing garden with the most spectacular view.
If we were to come to the region again, we would book the same place.
My stay was great. We didn't experience any problems.
The host was lovely and very helpful. The accommodation was lovely. There was everything that was needed for a weekend away. The kayaking on the river was definitely a winner. The location was perfect as it was close to everything.
Much enjoyed in beautiful surroundings. Owners very friendly and hospitable. Lagoon view clean and tidy with all the necessary facilities.
It is so peaceful and quiet! It was an amazing stay with a great view.
In my imagination the 19 steps were something to be reckoned with, it wasn't too bad though, even in the rain.
My family and I absolutely loved it there. It is close to the hotel, the beach, and the lagoon.
Great time in beautiful surroundings.
Our host was very friendly and accommodating.
Will definitely drop by again in that area.
A pity our stay was not longer. Would definitely like to have stayed longer and to see a bit more of Morgan's Bay.
We had a great time. The owners are very helpful. It happened that my husband forgot the phone charger, and the owners assisted.
Nice place and friendly.
Clean and tidy without any problems.
Loved the visit. The owners were friendly and the activities were amazing.
We were 5 adults. The cottage was large enough and spotlessly clean. Close to the river and beaches. We would recommend this establishment to anyone.
Very nice stay, will go again.
Lagoon view is such a beautiful place, with awesome river views, and the rooms are so clean. The owners Mr and Mrs Erlank are beautiful hosts, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at.
There was a lot of space, and everything we needed. It was nice to have two bathrooms and the bath was a bonus.
Fantastic place. First time visitor.
Affordable for such beautiful and lovely home. Was so peaceful. Really had an awesome weekend and the owners was so friendly.
The place is so close to the beach and has amazing restaurants.
Very nice and neat. Hostess kept us informed about load shedding all the time. Very nice visit and everything you need in a place to live.
Very nice place with a very friendly community.
Will definitely return for a longer stay.
Well equipped, clean and comfortable. Friendly hosts and very helpful. The steep stairs could be a challenge for older guests with some arthritis.
A quiet place tucked away along the lagoon of Morgans Bay, offering peace and tranquillity.
Due to availability we were upgraded to a better unit at the same price. Clean, livable and everything we need (except candles for load shedding). Thank you for the friendly service and advice about the surrounding area.
Awesome place for a getaway and close to all amenities in town and has a very beautiful lagoon view, would definitely visit again.
Lovely place to stay but hot water a problem. Too little lighting outside at night, especially at the stairs and towards the front door of the chalet.
Was kindly received by the owners.
Refrigerator smells badly of fish. Front door can't lock. One bed's bedding full of dust and sand from gap in ceiling. Stairs very style and uncomfortable, although there is a warning in advertisements. No WiFi, or no note if there is WiFi.
Awesome host and great accommodation. Will recommend.
From the arrival and warm welcome we felt right at home. The apartment is very well and tastefully furnished with a beautiful view of the lagoon. We had a comfortable stay.
We urgently had to change our plans and travel earlier and without any problems the owner adjusted everything and sorted out and adjusted our accommodation problems. The unit is wonderfully located and very nice and tidy. We will definitely stay here again.
Next time will definitely stay longer, great value for money.
Spacious with a beautiful view of the lagoon. Perfect for a small family. Kind and courteous owners. Great value for money.
Would recommend to people anytime. Just hope it's available for me when I travel in that area again.
We loved the views and the kayaking. Easy access to lagoon. Great accommodation and beautiful garden.
You can use the whole garden and walk down to the lagoon. Rooms with enough space.
Great hosts, lovely and clean! Loved the canoes and the view.
Both the owners and people in the village are very friendly. We shopped at the Spar in Kei Mouth village. The owners of the Spar even paid for and collected medicine for us in East London.
Even though we got a different unit than we expected, we were pleasantly surprised with the extra room and bathroom. The unit is very spacious with everything needed. The owners are very friendly and hospitable. Our children especially enjoyed the garden. We would definitely recommend Lagoon View and look forward to staying there again one day.
Would love to visit Morgan Bay again.
Very nice stay. Close to everything and the most beautiful view when you barbecue.
Uiters gerieflik, rustig met bedagsame, behulpsame eienaars. Ons het dit baie geniet. Sal weer van die akkommodasie gebruik maak.
Lovely views, friendly owner. Unit is well-maintained with all necessary amenities, clean and comfy.
Stunning views of the lagoon and surrounding areas, despite the lagoon being half empty from heavy rains. Lots of birdlife activity. Peaceful and tranquil surroundings. Think we were lucky as there were no other guests during our stay. Very enjoyable. Cozy and comfortable weekend. Would go again, but definitely out of season.
Stunning unit. Very beautiful setting. Elderly people and people with walking difficulties, take note, there are stairs to and from the road to the unit.
Two kayaks available for guest to use on the lagoon. Kids really enjoyed the stay.
The view is the best, and the facilities were completely satisfactory. It was lovely to row on the lagoon, and see all the different birds. We would easily go back!
Awesome view and access to river with canoeing available too.
The place is very cosy but the roof is very low and then it becomes too hot.
Very peaceful, unfortunately the lagoon is dry at this point in time. Bird life is abundant. Good value for money.
No WiFi was a bit inconvenient.
Friendly owners. Extremely neat and feels like home with stunning view of the water. Nice size deck for a nice braai at night. Our 3 year old was also comfortable and happy in the place. We will be back in the next few weeks.
We really enjoyed our weekend getaway and would recommend the establishment to our friends. The setting is beautiful, especially the balcony overlooking the lagoon. The establishment is spacious, clean, had everything we needed and very friendly owners.
Really enjoyed our stay at Lagoon View. Beautiful views of the Morgan Bay river 800 m from hotel and beach, nice an quiet. We enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.
Lovely cozy apartment with a wonderful view of the lagoon. Hospitable owners! Can definitely recommend it.
Nice little place. Great value for money as a stop over. Need more time to enjoy the entire place. Next time I will spend a few days there.
If you need to get away and find yourself and get to know your friends or partner better, this is it. Tranquility and beauty surrounds you.
Location very good, beautiful view of river. Neat unit, everything you need. Very much enjoyed the canoes on the river. Thanks for the wonderful weekend!
Morgan Bay is a gem and will definitely visit again.
Very quiet, beautiful and comfortable. Friendly people and very helpful.
Nice place with a beautiful view! Value for money, friendly hostess!
This was the highlight of our entire holiday. There was great fishing opportunity and opportunity to learn to kayak (canoe). We had such a nice stay, great value for money!
Very nice place with nice views. Well received by agent in the absence of the owners. Later that day, the owners introduced themselves and wanted to know if everything was in order. We can recommend the accommodation, but perhaps the stairs down to the unit may be a problem for some elderly. Above all we enjoyed the privacy and silence very much.
Comfortable and clean unit with a beautiful view of the lagoon!
We had a nice stay. It was just the bathroom that was uncomfortable for the four of us. Alida and her husband were very nice and helpful.
Lagoon view is a cosy home away from home, our stay there was relaxing and the view was amazing.
We can only tell about golden reception, in the middle of quite rainy day. Accommodation is very tidy, well furnished, and is good value for accommodation rates charged. If the weather cooperates, the beach can be visited daily, because it is within walking distance.
The most beautiful and dearest people own the place. Would recommend it. Everything is neat and what you'd need is provided. The view was beautiful.
A lot to do, fishing, horse rides. Remember a kite if the wind allows - a lot of fun. Plenty to see and do if you are an outdoor person. If you want to relax, just stay inside, read, watch a movie and braai! We loved it, would stay a week if we had the time!
Great stay. Neat, clean and friendly service. Would definitely recommend!
We enjoyed our stay here, even if it was just a quick stopover on the way to Cape Town. We rowed on the lake upon our arrival and again in the early morning.
The apartment is very neat and we didn't lack anything during our 2 day stay. Although our hostess could not receive us due to unexpected circumstances, her husband received us kindly and made sure that we lacked nothing to make our time there pleasant. The tranquility and the view over the lagoon was soothing for the soul.
We had a great stay and the hospitality of the owners is top notch. The paddling on the lagoon (with owners' kayaks and paddles) is exceptional. Fish jumping and birds hunting are fantastic. Would love to go again if we have time. Very good value for money.
Alede and Johnny are wonderful, warm hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and they really went out of their way to ensure we had a great holiday. We highly recommend staying here.
Lagoon View is perfectly positioned overlooking the lagoon, and an easy stroll from the Morgan's Bay beach. From the deck you can watch a pair of fish eagles going about their daily business, flocks of kingfishers and cormorants fishing in the lagoon, as well as a rich variety of other bird life. A large bag of wood was provided for free, and the braai was put to good use.
Well equipped, friendly owners, very helpful. Will go back again anytime.
Friendly reception, our privacy respected, the living unit well equipped, could use the owners' kayaks for free to enjoy the scenery on the lagoon.
Among the 14 places visited in the month, this one definitely ranks among the top 3. The host Johnny made us feel at home immediately, and even helped us carry our luggage in! He also immediately arranged a doctor for my wife (fortunately nothing serious) in a totally strange place for us. The place was very clean, and the location on the river indescribable. Nicest shower I've had all month, with water pressure as it should be! The room is also very modern and comfortably laid out, with full DStv, not just 6 or so channels. Would fully recommend Lagoon View anytime.
Place was more than we expected. Will definitely stay there again.
The accommodation is very clean and neat. No complaints. You should just pay more attention to safety.
The steps down to the location could be a little daunting to older couples and the bathroom location could be a problem to some guests. Excellent hosts and views compensate for any inconvenience.
The accommodation was very comfortable with enough of everything . Could do with a light over the counter the toaster sits on.Very nice high pressure hot shower.Extremely quiet and peaceful. Nice to have use of kayak etc.Would stay again.
Our time at Lagoon View exceeded all our expectations. It offers everything one needs and more. Beautiful view of the lagoon, quiet and private and still walking distance to the beach and parts where it gets busier during holiday time. Haven't met such friendly, hospitable owners in a long time who welcomed us with open arms. Would recommend Lagoon View to anyone and would love to return there myself in the future. Try it and enjoy!
Lovely, peaceful and tidy stay!
At first we did arrive much later than we expected but was met by the super friendly owners. The road our navigator took us through was rugged 4x4 terrain, but once we entered our unit, our entire family was super delighted. Place was much more impressive than we expected. Owners went out of their way to accommodate us, and even lent us canoes. We will be back in a much bigger group. 5 stars through and through.
Outstanding. Will stay there again. Pleasant host and hostess.
The destination's natural beauty is beautiful, and the environment is quiet and peaceful, perfect environment to regain strength to take on life.
Lagoon View is lovely, clean and fully equipped with more than you need. Great night's rest on a firm king-size bed. View is beautiful over lagoon, Ospreys and Crested Crowns can be seen. Alida and her husband are excellent hosts.
The view and hospitality will take your breath away. Great!
We had informed Alida that we would be arriving late due to horrific roadworks on the N2 and she commented they would be waiting for us and to travel safely. When we finally arrived, we received a very warm welcome and were shown the unit. It was spotless and very comfortable. Tea, coffee and sugar were available. The view from the deck is as beautiful as the web pictures and it was beautifully quiet - just what we needed to recharge our batteries. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. We cannot thank Alida and Johnny enough for the wonderful stay we had. We were very tempted just to stay on the deck and contemplate the lagoon. We would love to return when we can.
The people were very friendly and hospitable. Clean and comfortable place for us. Had a homely feeling.
See rating.
After our terrible experience through Transkei, we were warmly welcomed when we arrived at Lagoon View. Plekkie is beautifully furnished with more than we expected. Can't really rule anything out, because what you see on the web is what the owners offer. Thank you that there are still such honest and considerate persons.
We were friendly received and felt at home immediately. Beautiful deck with braai, and wood was provided as well as milk, coffee, tea and sugar in the kitchen!
We were satisfied with everything at Lagoon View. The TV was a bonus as was the washing machine and extras such as coffee, tea and sugar! And braai wood! And the use of their canoes on the lagoon. Owners Johnny and Alida Erlank are very hospitable and helpful. Truly a self-catering that we would highly recommend to our friends and family.
Second time staying at Lagoon View and it's a great getaway. Easy access to river, for kayaking or fishing!
Beautiful view and peaceful had a good time and owners were very friendly and helpful.
Enjoyed the stay even though it was just one night. Had everything we needed and owners were helpful and friendly. Would love to return, just a pity we are so far away.
I was disappointed in this unit. It shows a beautiful view, which it was, but the bedroom especially was very small, accessible through the bathroom and very small and dingy. You also had to walk down a steep slope to reach the unit, not practical for the elderly or small kids.
Wonderful destination with beautiful views. Clean and well maintained.
Guesthouse owners are very helpful and kind. Place is well equipped and the extras were provided like wood/blitz and dish saop which doesn't cost extra and isn't available at all self-catering places.
