Coole Holzausstattung "at the woods" und sehr nette Gastgeberin. Zimmer war sehr groß, haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Frühstück am Balkon wird von der Gastgeberin direkt betreut, daher recht flott :-). Parkplatz vor der Unterkunft. Ruhige Lage, dass Kaffee gegenüber gehört dazu. Kann ich zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Quirky guest house

We stayed here as we were going into the national park the next day. It is not a fancy hotel but very clean and comfortable. Quite a quirky place. Bed was extremely helpful and friendly. Places to eat close by. Breakfast was very good and plenty of it. I was not a fan of the tiles on the bathroom floor but that is just my opinion. The balcony looking out over the mountains was wonderful as is the setting for breakfast. Storms River is a small town so don't expect 5 star luxury but a pleasant experience all the same

Nettes Guesthouse mit freundlichem Empfang

Das Guest House liegt mittem im Village neben den Hauseigenem Kaffee wo man zu Abendessen kann. Die Pizza war dirt sehr lecker. Die berühmte Brücke über dem Storms River war ca. 10 min mit dem Auto entfernt. Das Frühstück war sehr gut.

Super Unterkunft in der Nähe vom Nationalpark! Den Pool konnten wir leider nicht nutzen, da es schon zu kalt war! Das Essen im empfohlenen restaurant war echt super, obwohl wir uns bei eintreffen dachten, dass es uns nicht überzeugt! Zimmer war sauber, hatte einen Kühlschrank und einen Safe.

A great base for adventures in the national park

Right in the middle of Storms River, surrounded by the national forest, this is a perfect base for whatever level of adventure you have in mind. The room was basic, but clean, spacious and with some nice touches to make it homey. Plus a nice patio to relax at the end of the day. Breakfast was excellent.

Goede B&B

Goede B&B, ik ben één nacht geweest en dat was goed, leuke kamer, goed ontbijt. Er zijn enige restaurants in de omgeving. Stormsrivier stelt op zich weinig voor, maar het is een goede basis om Tsitsikamma te ondekken.

Ideal um den Tsitsikama Nationalpark zu erkunden

Der Empfang war herzlich, die Zimmer sind mit allem Nötigen eingerichtet und drüber hinaus ist der Kühlschrank bei Ankunft mit Getränken zu erschwinglichen Preisen gut gefüllt. Die Balkone sind groß und zum Teil überdacht. Das gesamte Haus ist sehr gepflegt und gemütlich.

Nettes kleinesHotel in guter Lage zum Nationalpark

Hotel ist originell eingerichtet. Verschiedene Sitzmöglichkeiten im Haus, auf der Terrasse und im Garten. Überall liegen Bücher zum schmöckern herum. Zimmer sind zweckmäßig und interessant eingerichtet. Sie haben einen Balkon und Klimaanlage. Günstige Getränke mit Selbstbedienung. Frühstück war zufriedenstellend und ausreichend. Das Café nebenan ist verrückt eingerichtet und bietet eine kleine Auswahl an Speisen, wie z.B. Pizza an.
