Hotel room in Eastern Cape
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsBuccaneers Beach Lodge - Budget Sea view En-suite
BelindaRating, 5 stars65 months ago
Amazing view from the room across the lagoon. Large clean and comfy room easy access to kitchen if needed for your morning tea. Great food and good value. If you have time do the soup kitchen hike, helping prepare the food for the young children and playing games with them while thefood cooked it was very humbling. Highly recommended

The house was clean and neat and a stones throw from the beach. The back yard braai area was sheltered from the wind. Our group of 6 people was comfortably accommodated. We would definitely come back.

KyleRating, 5 stars29 months ago
Perfect place to relax and unwind. It’s right on the beach with a pathway to get between the lodge and the beach. The drinks at the bar are very reasonably priced. Nice neat and cosy room. I highly recommend it, definitely will be back!

Private room in Cape Town
4.44 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsBeachfront ! Views for days + direct beach access
StepankaRating, 5 stars14 months ago
Great place if you are looking for cool and vibrant hostel-ish accommodation for surfing holiday. They offer surf rental and classes right at the building. Yoga classes and coffee and restaurant are also in the same building. And location is superb - right on the beach with top views. Disadvantages are noise at night (sometimes there are parties in the bar in the same building as the hostel) and not very clean kitchen.

Very convenient location. Super friendly hosts. It is a hostel/backpackers kind of set up, so it’s very communal. However I had a great private room with my own bathroom.
