    Nice and clean, comfortable place to stay. Well located. They tried to upgrade us to a nicer room, which was extremely kind, however the catch on the sliding door was a little loose therefore I felt more comfortable staying in the smaller room...

Company information

My wife and I are easy going, courteous and very friendly. We endeavor to make guests feel very welcome, relaxed and comfortable. House rules are reasonable and are mainly there to ensure a pleasant stay for guests. Our guesthouse has only been open for 4 years but what a terrific time it has been. We are privileged to have hosted fantastic people from many foreign countries as well as our locals. It is something we never anticipated and has certainly made our venture worthwhile. We are so looking forward to many more wonderful people in the years to come. TO PROVIDE GUESTS WITH COMFORTABLE, CLEAN ACCOMMODATION AT REASONABLE PRICES

There is an adequately equipped communal kitchen for basic self-catering (light meals and warming up of take outs etc.). A Braai/barbecue facility is also available in the garden for use by guests.

Neighbourhood information

St Francis Bay is situated in the Kouga region of the Eastern Cape in close proximity to Jeffreys Bay one of the world's leading surfing destinations. The entire region is in fact a surfers paradise and attracts surfers from around the world. Other than surfing the area is also famous for its squid which is in great demand world wide. This industry gave rise to the construction to Port St Francis which provides safe refuge and passage to sea for the fishing boats. Cape St Francis which adjoins St Francis bay is the second most Southern tip of Africa. The lighthouse is one of the first to have been built in South Africa and is an important historic landmark. Visits can be arranged and a climb up to the top is very worthwhile event in itself and also for taking exceptional photos. The Internationally renowned wilderness area "Baviaanskloof" is situated in the Kouga area. Provided one has a high clearance vehicle it is worth the effort to make a trip over this mountain pass. This is South Africa in its natural beautiful unspoilt state.
