    It comes as no surprise that all previous visitors rate this B&B as a 10. It gets 10+ from us. The hosts Alan and Lillian were amazing and were very knowledgeable about the area, places to visit, and where to eat. Needles to say the rooms were luxurious and beautifully decorated with loving attention to detail and comfort. We loved the outside patio with its breathtaking sea views. How do i describe breakfast? Masterchef quality . Creative. Unique.A feast for the eye and tastebuds. Exquisitely prepared treats, served on beautiful crockery. We have never experienced anything like it in all our years of travel. The B&B has a number of beaches within walking distance. Photographers dream! This truly was a memorable stay and we can highly recommend Beach Break

    We picked Beach Break B&B for its location on our way when crossing South Africa by car. But we found the place as one we wish we had booked to stay longer. We thank Alan and Lilian for their exceptional hospitality. Amazing breakfast is the specialty of this place. The B&B is located just in 5min walk from the Kelly's Beach.

    The attention to detail of the owners, was exemplary. The superb breakfasts were delicious with so many options to choose from. Alan and Lillian were amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome, while at the same time giving us privacy. Not an easy balance to get right. The proximity of the property to the protected dunes and the sea was also great. The sound of the ocean put us to sleep at night. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommended beach break B&B to friends and family

    That we couldn't move in.

    I have mixed feelings about giving Beach Break a good review, because if I award Lillian and Allan with the recognition that they absolutely deserve then I fear we will never get to stay there again solely because staying here will become a bucket list entry such as the seven wonders of the world. A Bnb is exactly what it sounds like; decent food and a bed to rest your head, so I more than truly believe that the name 'Beach Break Bnb' is completely false advertising because this was so much more than a meal and a cot. Beach break truly offered the most impeccably beautiful rooms that were attended to daily to ensure that the standard was kept, the most incredible fresh breakfast that kept us happy and full for the day ahead until dinner, and so much more that I unfortunately can't seem to find the words to describe. Not only that, but our hosts Lillian and Allan truly became part of the family within mere hours of our arrival. Personality and authenticity can't be store bought or dressed up with a ribbon, and that is a key element to the hospitality industry that you can search far and wide for without any luck. Many feel home sick towards the end of their extended holidays away from home, but leaving Port Alfred's borders and knowing that was the last morning that we would wake up to waves and a delectable homemade breakfast brought more sadness to our hearts that anything else. Had we brought our precious dog and had a few of the extended family members been present, I don't believe anyone could have convinced us to leave. Trying to completely sum up our love for Beach break is completely in vain, so all I can say further is that it is an essential experience to all. Thank you Lilian and Allan for being our home away from home. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, we'll be back! xxx

    Our favourite B&B

    We had a gorgeous room, beautifully and tastefully decorated, and lovely bathroom. We had our own large guest terrace outside our room, overlooking the blue Indian Ocean, and our own lounge area too. Our hosts Lilian and Alan were warm and friendly and went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. This was one of our favourite B&Bs of the holiday (and there were some really amazing ones!) The beach was beautiful as was the short walk there. In the evening we had a tasty meal nearby, on the deck of Guido’s restaurant sitting above the estuary, overlooking the ocean. Our Beach Break breakfast was delicious, overlooking the garden and sea, with amazing choices of food, cooked to order, and a lovely selection of fruit, juices, yoghurt, tea and coffee. We would definitely go there again.
