Lovely place to stay with great hosts.
Met by 2 delightful daughters who helped us with somewhere to eat. Room beautiful, breakfast great, owners very accommodating and helpful. Wished we had stayed 2 days and gone straight to Durban.

Liebevoll geführtes Guesthouse mit tollem Blick
Liebevoll geführtes, wunderschönes und geschmackvolles Guesthouse mit tollem Blick auf den Fluss - wir haben nachts den Vorhang offen gelassen, damit wir gleich wieder den Blick geniessen können. Das Zimmer ist neu und schön eingerichtet mit modernem Bad und fantastischem Früstück am nächsten Morgen!!! Die Inhaber sind immer ansprechbar und unglaublich freundlich. Mein Bild von East London hat sich durch unseren Aufenthalt dort positiv verändert - ich kann es sehr empfehlen, auch weil es mit den 4 Zimmern eine persönliche Note hat!
