I found this guesthouse by luck after a terrible experience at a Guesthouse in Seaview Port Elizabeth. I called late on a Thursday Evening around 11pm and was happy I did. The phone was answered by a friendly gentleman by the name of Harry who was the owner. I explained my situation and he was more than happy to help... More

Good location, great hospitality from the owner and staff. Very good beds, breakfast. The only thing was the cleaning of the patio and the swimming pool, could be better. Will come back here next time.

Thankfully we stayed only one night at this lodge. We booked it primarily because we wanted to get laundry done and I needed to do some work upon arrival and they advertise a business center - not sure where that was. Good Points -I was able to get on the internet and do some work - that is a plus... More

We stayed one night at the Bluewater Beachfront Guesthouse. From our spontaneous arrival until our departure, the staff was very friendly & always available. The atmosphere is familiy-like. The seaside flat, sleeping 4 people, is very spacy and has a balcony with a spectacular sea view. Beeing three people, the price was a bit above the average to which we... More

There is no a/c. The room would just not cool down. The room lighting is very poor. Excessively powerful bulbs in fan lamp. Electrical problems with switches in the room. No phone in room. View from terrace rooms is of back side of dunes at beach...not much view, really. Breakfast was standard, nothing special. Staff was a mix of untrained... More

Bluewater Beachfront is one of the most beautiful places we stayed in South Africa. The friendly and very helpful staff made our stay most enjoyable. The location is secluded enough to enjoy a peaceful sleep with the ocean at your doorstep. The only drawback on our stay was the all night party a few doors away that sounded like it... More
