This hotel is most definitely a little gem on the Kowie River! We were welcomed by a stunning, modern reception area and the hugest smiles from the reception staff. Every staff member we encountered, down to cleaning staff, was friendly and polite and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms... More

We were a group of 8 that stayed here one night on our travel down the garden route. The reason I booked it was because of the price and location in the river. But on arriving was pleasantly surprised at finding a modern hotel with lovely rooms - it's not often that twin rooms have two 3 quarter beds! The... More

This is a modern hotel situated on the river and a few meters for the centre of the small town of Port Alfred. The location is rather nice and quiet and the river view rooms are a decent size. The hotel is used as a training hotel and the service is good. However...there are problems. The air con in the... More

This is a sparkling clean, new hotel located on the waterfront in a quiet location not far off the main road. We stayed in a large room overlooking the river. Comfy bed, beautiful bathroom and breakfast outside in the morning by the river. Great breakfast and service. Staff very friendly and helpful - great place to stay.
