96 guests' feedbackFriendly host who goes out of their way to present everything neatly and stylishly.
Had a lovely stay and the owners went out of their way to make it comfortable for us. The room was neat and breakfast was tasty. Incredibly hospitable and could have a nice chat. The owners are special people.
Very nice stay. Thank you JB and Adri for your hospitality.
Very neat and spacious rooms with a beautiful sea view. Breakfast of high quality. Friendly owners without being overwhelming.
Very comfortable and very friendly welcome. Breakfast is great.
Great stay with excellent hosts.
It was amazing and the hosts were great. Loved it.
See below. I was delighted to return for a second visit and will be back.
Best breakfast and lovely view.
Lovely place with a very nice view - friendly service and good food!
We had a great stay! The owners do everything in their power to provide their guests with extremely good service.
The host and his wife were very friendly and their breakfast was excellent!
We had a very nice stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious.
Excellent friendly reception and service.
We had a very nice stay. Was received very kindly. Our room had a very nice view of the sea. Enjoyed a nice cup of coffee early in the morning on the balcony with a nice view. Breakfast was also delicious.
Melkhoutkloof is a well-appointed B&B with beautiful views of the ocean. It also represents good value for money. However, my wife and I had to cut our breakfast short due to the intrusive actions of the host. Owners of B&Bs must learn that, unless invited, they do not have to hover around their guests all the time and make small talk. To add insult to injury, this was yet another case where the hosts assumed that because we were white and Afrikaans-speaking, we shared their racist views of the world. This is deeply insulting.
It was top quality, absolutely delicious.
It was amazing, host and hostess are very friendly and make you feel welcome. They went out of their way to make one's breakfast nice and special, I felt like I was being served at a 5-star restaurant! Breakfast was delicious and fresh, and on top of that it was very creative! Location of the guest house is beautiful, I will definitely come back again! Thank you very much for you.
Absolutely amazing. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Fantastic quality breakfasts. Very well presented as well as excellent homemade rusks.
Excellent service. Had a delicious breakfast. Top notch rooms. Can recommend it with the greatest pleasure.
My guests (visiting Glentana) had a good time together at Melkhoutkloof, including breakfast and a walk on the beach. Thanks.
Very clean and comfortable, one of the best B&Bs I have ever been to.
Had a great stay - everything was great.
The hospitality was top notch and the breakfast was fantastic!
At first sight, it was not my cup of tea, until our hosts served our first breakfast. The presentation and taste were some of the best I've ever had. The family atmosphere they created with all visitors at breakfast is unheard of. I would recommend them to any person who is looking for that home away from home experience. Their attention to detail to the finer things in life is not something that you will get at a 5-star hotel. Their friendly manner of interacting with their guests is also something that is amazing.
Pleasant host, clean, comfortable, value for money.
The guest house exceeded our wildest expectations. The owners were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Add the beautiful sea view and you have the ideal destination. Would definitely want to stay there again!
JB and Adri made us feel very much at home in their neat and well-kept house. It is such a peaceful setting and we were delightfully spoiled with a fantastic breakfast. Thank you very much for a wonderful time. I will take a good look at the plants.
The most beautiful, most beautiful sea view. Owners very friendly.
The owners were fantastic. The guesthouse is super clean and tidy. The breakfast was very inventive and delicious. Will definitely stay there again.
Overnight stay only. Lovely place with a nice view and very friendly owners. Can definitely recommend for longer stays.
Definitely an option.
Very neat. Friendly people.
The WiFi is very slow and a frustration. The TV screen in the room we slept in is as big as a small computer's screen and installed in the wrong place. It's very difficult and uncomfortable to watch TV.
Very friendly service. Trouble with breakfast.
The owners were very friendly.
The location suited us perfectly. Our host and hostess were very friendly and helpful.
Owners are very hospitable and help where they can. We had a wonderful time relaxing in a very neat, residential unit. The breakfast in the morning was very well presented and tasty! We can absolutely recommend the accommodation.
I would have loved to have my own fridge in my room, the ceiling fan was out of order, but I was provided with a standing fan.
See stars.
Absolute winner: JB and Adri are most gracious hosts. The guest house was luxurious and homely (home away from home!) - breakfasts, rooms and communal facilities are all excellent and the house is spotlessly clean. The garden is a winner - every morning we woke up to the singing of so many birds, and we were also lucky to see the Lourie coming for his daily feed. We definitely recommend staying in Melkhoukloof Guest House with a great ocean view!
Our stay was great in every way.
The guest house is very neat and the breakfast served is pleasant. A lot of effort is made.
We were very hospitably received and deliciously treated to coffee at reception. We felt very special with all the little things that made an impression. The breakfast was a feast for the eyes and delicious!
Many thanks to JB and Adri for their hospitality. It is a very comfortable guest house with such a beautiful view! The breakfast every day was excellent and so well prepared. Adri, thank you very much for every day's surprise of a beautifully set table! It was a very special time for us. Good luck with your guesthouse! Glentana is a beautiful and peaceful environment.
What a lovely pampering guest house. The owners did everything to make us feel welcome and relax. The breakfast was a king's meal and we confidently recommend this guest house for a wonderful relaxing and pampering. True rest is here. Thank you very much.
Highly recommended. Lovely view.
We had a great time with JB and Adri, the perfect hosts. Our stay was in every respect a beautiful experience, with a beautiful room and view, and a delicious breakfast. Excellent value for money, and highly recommended!
The four days with JB and Adri as our hosts flew by! Every morning a different, delicious and inspiring breakfast ─ we miss it! Our room was so comfortable, clean with a beautiful sea view and on top of that a large selection of beautiful birds in the garden in front of the room. I recommend Melkhoutkloof Guest House with great confidence.
Would go again anytime! JB and Adri, thank you for the homely yet special time together. Got our vacation off to a good start!
JB and his wife had a nice chat with us and really made us feel at home. It was a lovely experience even if the weather didn't cooperate. I will definitely stay there again and refer every friend who wants to work out there.
Excellent stay. Neat place, in a good position with beautiful sea view. You can just hang out there all day.
The accommodation and hospitality were top notch. Thank you JB and Anrie. We will see you and will certainly use your guest house again when we go down.
The owners make an extreme effort to make one's stay pleasant. Every possible detail is in its place - down to a small pair of scissors to cut open the coffee and milk powder bags. Very good value for money.
Breakfast more than normal. Spacious, tidy room with a beautiful view. Personal attention from host and hostess.
Well equipped, neat, breathtaking views. You have the privilege of waking up to birdsong and ocean sounds. No traffic or other noise pollution. The owners are such pleasant people who enjoy interacting with others and running a guesthouse. Breakfast was superb. Would gladly recommend this guesthouse.
Host are the most lovely people you can meet. We felt so spoiled with our visit to Melkhoutkloof Guest House. Really nice place to stay and beautiful surroundings. Thank you so much.
The area is very peaceful. We were warmly welcomed. Would definitely stay there again.
Wat 'n wonderlike plekkie! Gasvryheid en ontbyt was onbeskryflik! Sal beslis weer gaan!
Thank you for your hospitality. You can see that you've been in the guesthouse industry for 23 years. We enjoyed the birds. Good luck for the next 23 years!
Friendly reception, neat facilities and beautiful sea views.
Ideal if you want peace and a comfortable stay. The hosts were very approachable, friendly and professional. Lovely and arty breakfast. Nice hiking opportunities in the neighbourhood and on the beach.
We visited the guest house because of repair work on our own house in Outeniqua Strand. The owners were exceptionally hospitable and the room almost better than our own house, definitely recommended.
Attention to detail in the small things. We are still raving about the different breakfasts. Very good view of the ocean. The owners are friendly and will gladly assist.
JB and Adri immediately made us feel at home. The room and porch have the most beautiful view and are stylishly decorated. The breakfast was tasty and nicely presented. We also couldn't drive without buying some of Adri's homemade jam. Delicious.
I had a wonderful time in Melkhoutkloof Guest House. The room was large and very comfortable in a green surrounding with an amazing view on the ocean. The hosts, JB and Adri, were very attentive and helpful. Every day the different sort of breakfast was always a pleasant surprise.
You are stars. It was delicious! Definitely see you again.
Melkhoutkloof Guest House exceeded all expectations. The breakfast alone is enough to make us go back. The owners have perfected the art of being helpful and engaging when needed, without being intrusive.
JB & Adri are two wonderful people who make you feel at home from day one, they spoil you with the most wonderful breakfast every morning and every day there is a delicious cremation waiting on your bed. Their service is absolutely excellent and they are super neat, what a treat to be able to meet two such beautiful people.
Very clean and tidy. Breakfast to write home about! Owner very involved.
Melkhoutkloof Guest House is a beautiful house with neat and well-equipped rooms. The breakfast is a unique experience and every morning something different is prepared. The rooms have a nice view of the sea and the reception and visit are made pleasant by old-fashioned hospitality.
A beautiful room with a sea view and the tranquility of the waves in your ears! The facilities are very neat and tidy. A hospitable host and hostess serving a delicious breakfast! Recommended for a lovely visit to Groot-Brak.
We were received very hospitably upon arrival and immediately felt at home. The room is spacious and very tasteful. Breakfast is absolutely five star and the owners are very friendly and hospitable.
Friendly personalised service, relaxed atmosphere enhanced by a beautiful bird friendly garden. Breakfasts delicious and beautifully presented. A definite revisit.
Hospitality and excellent service. Such a tranquil place, and very neat. Thank you JB for the company every morning at breakfast, and thanks to Adri who prepared the most delicious breakfast and kept the rooms so neat. You are really the 2 most pleasant people we have met. Your guesthouse is a pleasure to stay in. Thank you.
We felt so welcome and the service was fantastic! The room was beautiful, ours had a balcony with a sea view. Gorge next to guest house with many birds. Breakfast was delicious. Quiet living room. Truly something special.
Our week-long stay at this guesthouse was a very pleasant, relaxing experience. The rooms and bathroom were neat and clean. We really enjoyed the sea view from the balcony. The visits from loeries to the feeders and water features was a highlight. The hostess and host made us feel at home. This place is in a quiet, safe area with lots of attractions in a small radius. Breakfast was fresh and on point. Thanks a lot!
The guesthouse was very comfortable, clean and tastefully furnished. Breakfast was excellent and absolutely worth the money.
The place is really recommendable. We really enjoyed the guest house, the owner and his wife really made us feel at home.
Beautiful place, great view. A little far from beach and restaurants to walk. Friendly, warm welcome and homely atmosphere. Welcome with coffee was special. Perhaps modernization of room decor would be a plus.
This is a very nice guest house. People were friendly and breakfast was delicious. Would just like to see more toiletry items like tissues and shampoo.
Only stayed one night, but received friendly service and delicious breakfast. Hosts enjoy talking with guests.
See stars.
Our room, bathroom and shower were beautifully clean and comfortable. The host and wife were friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our evening there and will definitely stay there again.
Brilliant JB and Adri!
Clean rooms. Service was excellent. Breakfast was special (excellent hosts).Would stay there again in a heartbeat .
Highly recommended if you are in the realms of Glentana.
Five-star accommodation with friendly service.
The Guesthouse is outstanding as well as clean and neat. I will definitely go there again.
Breakfast a little late - interferes with day planning.
We enjoyed our stay. Perfect place to stay at for holiday makers and business travellers.
Everything was lovely, we just found the decor and linen to be very dated.
Fantastic service and incredible hospitality. We will definitely stay there again.
The guesthouse has got huge potential and is very comfortable, but the owners did not make me feel at home (felt as if I was invading their space).
Neat accommodation with attention to detail. Would not stay more than a night or two. Would have liked to have coffee/tea and something light to eat on the day of departure, as our flight was only in the late afternoon.
The only problem was that the directions to the guest house were not adequate. More signage is required
