I booked on Booking.com, I drove to the guest house, when I got there I call the their number a guy answered and said he is not in the guest house, I must go to the small gate and buzz, I did exactly that and a lady came out and told me they are fully booked I told her I booked on Booking.com she said it means they forgot to close the bookings, no apology nothing, she just left.

“Basic facilities. Shared bathroom in one room.”
We needed accomodation urgently as our original place had shut down. This one was recommended by a security man patrolling the area. So it was available.

“Value for money in a central location.”
The staff were exceptional, friendly, always available and helpful. However the place is run down. Although we had a microwave and fridge there was no crockery or cutlery, so self catering was not possible. The towels were threadbare and water is only available for showering at certain times of the day. There is a lot of traffic noise and the wifi is usable, but slow and only works when the power is on.

“It was an awesome stay with friendly staff that makes you feel at home.”
Michelle was welcoming and waited until we arrived at the premises. She was friendly and pleasant. Ruth thought of the safety of my elderly mother and organised a Uber to and from the Boardwalk.

“Apart from the funny noise made by the geyser my stay was good”
