Although we had emailed and our daughter had telephoned, they were not expecting us when we turned up on Sunday 14th April. However, Visu came to the rescue, welcomed us and allocated us the Whale Room with a view of the beach and patio doors onto the deck area. Very well appointed room, extremely comfortable bed and great to wake... More

We stayed here for one night in a downstairs beachfront room at a total cost of R1500. Our room had the most bizarre design I have ever experienced where the bath, toilet, shower and sinks are all open as part of the main room and are strangely at the front of the room by the windows onto the beach.

We were fortunate enough to use TripAdvisor and land up here. The view onto a perfect seaside garden , onto the beach and the sea beyond made all the difference. So the penthouse suite has the best view and accommodation. The only problem was the smell from the toilet. The problem has obviously been looked at but the problem was... More

Beautiful and very clean room directly on the beach. Good recommendation of restaurants, especially „Kitchen’s Window“. Very good selection of drinks in the honesty bar. We only spent one night, but it is recommendable to stay longer.

We recently stayed here for 1 night and could have stayed for longer. We stayed in the penthouse which had fantastic views and was very spacious. It was lovely to sit in the chairs with the big picture windows overlooking the beach. The bath & shower was open plan, not everyone's taste, didn't do it for me. The floor by... More

An unscheduled 1 night lay-over turned into 2 nights when we experienced the wonderful hospitality of On The Beach guest house. The Magna Tube 2 bedroomed suite is stunningly decorated with the ocean on your feet. Friendly and attentive staff , and what a breakfast ! Would definitely recommend.

Well if you want a room with stunning beach views then 'On the Beach' is for you. We stayed in the penthouse room and it was just wonderful. The honesty bar is 1st class and as the guesthouse is a bit away from the main drag we made good use of the bar. Would recommend hiring taxi into the hub... More

Our group of 6 stayed here for 3 nights in September.....we occupied the 3 double rooms on the lower level, all with ocean views and a shared balcony which suited us perfectly and gave us fairly good privacy. The rooms were beautifully presented and our room had a small fridge which we found very useful .....would have been nice for... More
