It was great but I used most for sleeping because spent the day out. The shower water flow needs an improvment and the room needs some extra blockout curtains because as the sun rises the light in the room makes impossible to sleep.
The owner was so friendly and welcoming and all was clean and confortable. I really enjoyed my stay.
Delightful guesthouse, beautiful, comfortable, inviting and perfectly located for beach access. Very friendly people, making one feel welcome from the 1st minute. Excellent breakfast
We had an amazing stay, from the welcoming check-in, the room and the view to the breakfast and the nice and friendly talks with the owner. The beach is almost empty and you are able to see it from your bed. To fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves was also a special treat. We can highly recommend this place! It was awesome in every aspect! We wlll definitely be back :-)
The owner is a great guy and we had a great time staying at this place. The owner goes through great length to accommodate our changing plans and sudden needs.
Thoroughly enjoyed the owners and thee accommodations, right on the beach. Great if you are looking for a somewhere without a lot of restaurants. Definitely need a car
We needed t get away for a while after a very emotional and hectic few weeks including a flight from Canada, Absolute Beach was perfect. The service was superb and so were the breakfasts. The view from our table at breakfast was beautiful. Not to forget the superb companionship of the legend himself - Mr. Watson.
We booked the bed and breakfast as a relaxing first couple of days on arrival in South Africa and were very happy with our choice. The accommodation is right on the beach in a quiet residential neighbourhood but provided a good base for a day long secluded beach walk to Paternoster and back. The hosts were fantastic, allowed us to check-in early and even offered to drive to pick us up in the event that we tired during our walk.
Our room was great, with lots of attention to detail and included coffee and tea making facilities, fridge etc. and the wifi was adequate. The breakfast was substantial with a range of drink, cereals, fruit and yoghurt and full english cooked to order.
All in all a great experience.
