The beach house is a beautiful place right at the dunes (only a small road between) - u can hear the waves from your bed. Rooms are very tastefully decorated, breakfast is very good. The lady from the management is very helpful and friendly. There are rooms in the upper floor with sea view, we had a room on the... More

We have been very impressed with our stay at The Beach House. Isabeau - the manager - did everything she could to make our stay comfortable. We chose a room( #6) on the first floor overlooking the swimming pool. Although the views are mainly of a collection of similar properties around we decided that this was better than the seaward...

We stayed with friends for 3 nights at The Beach House. From the first moment Isabeau, the friendly lady who manages the B&B, did all what she could to help us with the luggage, to search for a good restaurant, to give us advice on what to do during our stay. The breakfast is excellent. We loved the scones, the... More

After a long and tiring drive we arrived at this truly lovely hotel in a perfect position and so comfortable, with a great view from our room. Breakfast was delicious and we also had very good advice about local restaurants etc. Wish we had been able to stay longer.

Stayed here for two nights on a work trip. Should have taken an upstairs room for the sea view. Biggest plus is that it'ts located across the street from the beach, so really nice for early morning, pre-work strolls. Rooms are modern, well-lit and comfortable. It's set a bit of a distance from central Port Alfred but unless you're car-less... More

The location of this venue is great, right on the beach. If you manage to get an upstairs room the views are spectacular. The garden or pool facing rooms are warmer as they get full sun. However, there are no sea views. The rooms are well decorated and the beds comfortable. All the amenities like coffee, tea and filtered water... More

My wife and I spent our first night of our honeymoon at The Beach House and it was "just what the doctor ordered". We needed a place to unwind and rest after the emotional and physical fatigue of our wedding day. The Beach House is clean and has very comfortable furniture and serves up a tasty breakfast.

We had few expectations about the Beach House because their website is not particularly good -- the only thing I would suggest they change. The house is scrupulously clean, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. The decor is exquisite; we considered hiring a van to take many of their things back especially the bed! We have seldom had such beautifully cooked... More
