The Buttercup has a wonderful position looking down the Goukou River in one direction and toward the sea and Lapiesbaii beach in the other.It took no more than two minutes to reach the beach in front and swim in the river estuary. Eveleen was a charming host and provided excellant breakfasts.and the accomodation was comfortable. We very much enjoyed sitting... More

A friend and myself had a wonderful 4 night stay at The Buttercup during December 2012. We rented the Deluxe and the Beige Room which was on the ground floor, both rooms had access to an adjoining kitchen/ living room which created a wonderful living space for us, it also had a lovely outdoor patio area with views of the...

We had good, clean and quiet rooms with beach view and a big veranda. But the price was not clearly communicated so we ended up paying more than we calculated. Breakfast was good and we had a list to choose from what we would like.

I've stayed with Eveleen quite a few times, and am going back in December with my parents. Definitely one of the nicest B&Bs I've stayed in up the Garden Route, attention to detail in every way and a wonderful homely feel with the BEST views over the Lagoon. Probably the best breakfast up the Garden Route hands down, thanks to... More

We stayed one night here in late January. Made to feel very welcome and Eveleen even appeared with freshly baked Ginger Biscuits. Location is excellent for walks on the beach just across the road. Everything provided in very comfortable room even towels for the beach. Breakfast served overlooking the sea and was excellent. Highly

Stilbaai is a long way from the N2 highway, but is a delightful spot and together with The Buttercup is very well worth the trip. Unfortunately the proprietor was unavoidably away, but her friend, although clearly unused to the business, made us feel very welcome and coped admirably. We wish that we had allowed more time since the area is... More

We have been returning to The Buttercup annually for the past five years. The charming proprietor, Eveleen, is always at hand and nothing is too much trouble for her. We stayed in the downstairs room, which has its own lounge/kitchen and outdoor seating area and views over the sea/river mouth. The room is clean, comfortable and spacious, with bath and... More

The stay in the buttercup was perfect. We had a room with river and ocean viem, but I think all rooms have this view. Eveleen (the owner) was a very friendly and helpfully woman. The rooms were furnished so affectionately and comfortably. We would have remained gladly longer. When we will stay in Stillbaai again, so we live in the... More

My wife and myself recently spent some time at a little jewel of a B&B. As very seasoned guesthouse users, I was blown away by the overall experience at the Buttercup. Eveleen is a personality rarely found nowadays, and she made our breakaway something very special. Her attention to detail and effortless ability to make us feel totally at home... More

We had a fab stay at the B&B. We felt right at home with wine on arrival in a cosy sitting room all to ourselves. The highlight was during a homecooked breakfast when whales were spotted boucing around in the water, beautiful views. Would highly recommend.l
