Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and comfortable beds. Very secure and felt very safe. Parking on site. Mary and Chris were very helpful and friendly with excellent communication and couldn’t do enough for us to make our stay an A* experience. Breakfast was lovely with a wide variety of fruits, breads and cereals. Also a cooked breakfast available. Would definitely stay again and would give it an 11 out 10 if I could! Fabulous!

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at Bright on 5th. Mary was a wonderful attentive host and the breakfast was divine. Bright on 5th is located on a quiet street in Summerstrand. We felt perfectly safe on the grounds of the B&B and would highly recommend this stay.

The accommodation was super comfortable, functional, and clean. Mary and Chris were extremely attentive and helpful in giving an overview of the town and places to go (or not to go). Breakfast was great too. Before arriving, I was planning to stay just for one night, but as it was a great place to stay, I extended my stay there one more day.

“Lovely stay in a very convenient, peaceful location in a leafy area of Summerstrand.”
We were there for a waterpolo tournament and Mary and Chris were very accommodating of our schedules. The breakfast was amazing and the room rooms were very spacious. Backup for most things during load shedding was a bonus. WAlking distance to the Boardwalk shopping centre and the new mall was very useful.
