The room was under the eaves and had no air-conditioning, only a fan, and we had to climb a steep metal staircase, and the bathroom was across the small landing. The pool was very nice but the whole outside are was very crowded. More

We were very disappointed, there is no air conditioning, very small claustrofobic bedrooms (well the ones we had) and the breakfast again not in line with what we had at other b & b's. Great pool and relaxing area. More

We stayed here for two nights with my family group of 8. We all loved it. The house has real character and the pool and breakfast areas are so relaxing. The breakfast was good with "catch of the day" specials which was a nice touch. Peter and Alana ( sorry we missed you Katarina) were really really helpful and arranged... More

We stayed for three nights at The Beautiful South. All staff was very friendly. The room is very Austin Powers, which is fun.

We stayed in an african room overlooking the lovely swimming pool. Our room was clean and the bed comfy. Alana was very helpful in informing us about local facilities, wine reserves, and places to eat.... More

The Beautiful South is...well...beautiful. From the lovely, bright breakfast area to the gorgeous pool (which, sadly, we didn't make use of as we had too many other things to do) and the spacious, comfortable room (the Umdeni Suite), every part of this guest house is really lovely. Hosts Peter and Katarina were friendly and extremely helpful, giving us lots of... More
