The hosts, Miemie and Gerhard,made us feel very welcome as this was our first visit to St Francis Bay, which turned out to be a quiet and nice town at the seaside. We spent two nights at the Cycads and would definitly return back. A nice, cooked breakfast is included. The beach easily reached by a short stroll from the... More

We spent a wonderful 4 days at the Cycads on Sea earlier this month mainly thanks to the friendly hosts, Gerhard & Miemie. The Cycads is ideally located overlooking the sandy East Cape beaches of St Francis Bay. All units have direct access which makes it easy to come and go. Breakfasts are excellant and Gerhard proves detailed directions of... More

We really enjoyed our 2 nights at Cycads, Gerhard and Miemie were so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely room with a view of the sea. The breakfasts were beautifully presented and delicious in the sweet breakfast room.

Great guesthouse with excellent hosts. However the entire area was a bit of a disappointment as you cannot get to the beach area easily. Poor town planning has made this an exclusive venue for the few fortunate owners with sea facing properties. As a visitor you will battle to get close to the sea or even get a glimpse at... More

Needs definitely mordernising. Never saw the hosts and we were not sure who was managing the guesthouse in those days the hosts were away. Rooms and bathrooms were small and especially the bathroom was not that clean (old). There is not much to do in Francis Bay and the restaurants in the harbour are not worth to write about. Poor...

Gerhardt and Miemie are the most wonderful hosts - experienced, knowledgeable, kind and great fun. Staying in their guest house is a joy. Knowing St F Bay as well as they do, they provide helpful and accurate advice on all matters - restaurants, golf, beaches, fishing and walks. If staying, ask for one of the rooms at the front of...

Cycads on Sea is has a nice location, overlooking St Francis Bay. Gerhard was extremely welcoming and seemed particularly knowledgeable about the local area and how the town had grown up. The grounds and the swimming pool were extremely well kept also. Rooms were spacious and bedding was well-provided, but some aspects of the accommodation were a little dated and... More
