It is a wonderful place with a great room ( Maritime) . Very well appointed and very tastefully decorated. The manager, Fiona, was most pleasant and helpful. It is a great place to relax ( nice walks around) before a long flight. We loved it there.

The accommodation, food, service, surrounding gardens and the staff….especially the staff were beyond excellent. Nikki taking us to all the animals was extra special. We came away (reluctantly) feeling like we had been in a piece of African paradise. 5 stars doesn’t do it justice…More like 50!

We only stayed at Kingfisher for one evening, but we can’t say enough positive things about the staff. We had an early morning flight the next morning and Cilliers went above and beyond to ensure we had snacks to take with us and had a safe ride to the airport. Much appreciated!

Pleasant Stay

Very clean and tidy Guesthouse. Rooms are spacious and well serviced. Breakfast is good although buffet is not large. Chef's cooked breakfast is a highlight. Owners are very friendly and location is adequate with shopping centre only 10 mins walk away. WiFi is OK although had many difficulties with voice over data. It should be noted that this Guesthouse does not allow any visitors - they are very specific about this and do mention prosecution if any visitor is found on the premises. There were a couple of occasions I would have liked to invite my host in to enjoy the courtyard but was unable to.

Wonderful stay and attention to detail

Wonderful stay for a sports event in PE. Comfortable, clean and decent sized room, and very welcoming staff and breakfast. The room was equipped with not just fridge but also microwave which came very in handy. The downfall was the wifi connection was very unstable and not super fast.

Very upmarket guest house

Located in a nice part of Port Elizabeth, close to beaches and restaurants. Only 45 minutes drive from Addo and Kragga Kamma game reserves. Free parking and Wi-Fi, very well appointed rooms and five star breakfast served by the pool. The owners and staff know exactly how to run a classy small hotel and can provide lots of information on local activities, places to visit and, places to stay away from. Very easy to find as it's only 10 minutes drive from PE airport. We were there from Oct 9th to 12th then back after a 3 day trip to Knysna and George and left on Oct 19th.
