I had a decent stay at the hotel with some highlights and low points. The location is absolutely beautiful and offers stunning views right by the water, and the staff was generally friendly and efficient. However, the rooms left a bit to be desired with some signs of wear, and the dining experience had a few hiccups with the food quality. Overall, it's a solid choice but there's definitely room for improvement.

The rooms showed some signs of shabbiness, like cracks in the paint and broken tiles, and the bedding in the garden house wasn’t really comfortable for my taste. The bathroom felt a bit cramped too.
Service

Most of the staff were friendly and efficient, but I did encounter a few who seemed rude and more focused on themselves rather than serving guests.

The location is perfect for staying in Port Alfred, right on the water's edge and offers stunning views while being conveniently close to town.

The dining options were decent but could improve; some dishes, like the croissant bun, were over-baked. Overall, it was a good selection, but I think they need to accommodate all income levels better.

The facilities were okay but could use a little more upkeep to reach their best standard.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic right on the river, and the staff was incredibly friendly and efficient. However, my room in the garden house fell short of my expectations, especially with the bedding and bathroom size. The dining experience was also disappointing, with greasy food that wasn't to my liking. Overall, while there were some amazing aspects, there were enough downsides that I can't give it a perfect score.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is great, right on the water, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms were in desperate need of a refresh, with strong damp smells and cleanliness issues that were quite off-putting. The dining options were also limited, which was disappointing. Overall, the hotel has potential, but definitely needs some improvements to be considered truly enjoyable.
