Rooms are tired, cold and uncomfortable.

Service was the same standard.

Great position for exploring the south coast. Good sized rooms for families, clean and friendly.

The guide book stated that this hotel is dated. And yes it is. The rooms and the .. well the entire place needs a complete renovation. Old tv, old fridge, old beds, yes everything is old. The service was quick (we asked for more bedding and towels), and the rooms are functional, and huge and the sea views are unbeatable. We could only book the room with dinner as that was the cheapest package available when we showed up, and I was a bit apprehensive as the restaurant looked dark and empty. The dinner was however fine, and I don't think we could have done better at the Spur (midrange chain) down the street.

Over all if you get a good price and can ignore the obvious need of renovation then you can, as I did, appreciate this hotel. My wife and I felt like we could just imagine what this place must have been like in the 1960's.

Visited here on holiday in November 2007. The hotel is not a high standard hotel and cannot fairly compare with the hotels that I have previously visited elsewhere. As with some parts of South Africa the property has dated and is need of refurbishment.
The room that we had was on the ground floor, containing a double bed, TV, wardrobes etc. The room itself was large, there was enough room for my golf clubs to stand up - as the room was L-shaped. The room did have a sea view - although limited due to the trees that are between the hotel and the beach (which lead directly from the hotel grounds).
The hotel has an outdoor pool and pool area which is OK for a dip, however the pool was not the cleanest during our stay.
It is also a very quiet hotel - much like Scottburgh itself.
I think that one of the main issues for the hotel is a lack of competition in the area, the Blue Marlin is the only other hotel in Scottburgh, so there is not much to encourage a refubishment. The hotel has the potential to be a great hotel but needs some investment.
