Stunning views, amazing staff and breathtaking ven
What a stunning and personal experience. Such lovely breakfasts, the views aswell as the freedom of the facilities and the staff. Will definitely be back..... wish we had stayed longer
Perfect spot for a beach vacation. Room was ideal with big bathtub and shower. The living room and access to the porch added to the experience. Breakfast was exceptional. Great find. We would like to visit again.
This being our third time to Jeffrey’s Bay, we really took our time choosing our accommodation. We were very happy with our choice and would definitely return. Staff are wonderful, breakfast is fantastic and our room amazing. Great view, thoughtful touches and attention to detail which always impresses.
Great location right on the sand! We had the honeymoon suite which was nice. Breakfast in the main lounge/dining area had a great view of the beach. The staff and food were also excellent
This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in during this trip. The suite had everything in it and was incredibly comfortable. The area on the second floor was amazing and the views of the dolphins were fantastic.
Location was perfect. The upstairs lounge was just down the hall from our room so we felt like we were staying at a friend's house. Perfect location to watch the sunrise without going outside.
Lovely Penthouse room, with stunning views of the beach. Breakfast staff were excellent. Very nice lounge area with honesty bar for guests to relax in. Would definitely recommend On The Beach.
It was locally owned, smaller guest home that had amazing staff, family friendly and extremely accommodating after having to change dates last minute due to a flight cancellation. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a secluded but elegant home environment.
We stayed in one of the beachfront rooms on the 1st floor. Spacious and luxurious. All the amenities and comforts one could want. Thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, the breakfast and the location.
