    There were some water and electrical issues which the owner had sorted while we were there. It wasn't an imposition though since the owner gave access to adjacent rooms for us to use while the issue was being sorted.

    The manager and owners were superb. They made sure to make the stay as convenient and pleasant as possible. They also recommended a great restaurant close by. The kitchen was cute and cozy as well with a very convenient setting of the stove and workspace. The views from the common area was also fantastic.

    Finding the way to Coffee Bay is a mission. It's fun and adventurous but a warning would be nice. The road is not easy access and there are some detours. So maybe communicate with the accommodation before you head out. They were really helpful thought but yo... It was a mission

    The staff was very nice and helpful. We had a lovely two days there and the facilities were quite nice. Unfortunately there was an unexpected power outage (not planned loadshedding) but that's Noones fault so we had a good time.

    Hansie is a fantastic host and made me feel right at home in Coffee Bay. Property is close walking distance everything worth visiting and offered gated parking. My room had all necessary amenities (even light & gas during load shedding) and a fantastic ocean view.

    Would help if there is a sign where the place is. No signs. I passed the place even with direction. I sign would definitely help to locate the place.

    I loved the view and the Braai area. The view is stunning! I like the Braai area. A Braai with a view.

    Everything. It's a terrible schack with no car park. Everything about it was terrible. Didn't even take a bath cause of the smelly bathroom. Bedroom had terrible smell. The only reason I stayed was because I had nowhere else to go. Never go there. I wonder how bookings. Com can advertise such a place and encourage unsuspecting people to go there

    it’s a typical backpackers place. The advertising is deceptive. No internet access. Noisy at times.

    very different picture painted on the website, the place is in dire need of an upgrade. The gate behind which your car is, kept should be motorized, in the description of Eagles Nest there should be a better description of the actual accommodation, whilst in might be appealing to an overseas tourist as South African, we know the risks of living in South Africa and this place is deep rural.

    The area is beautiful in general but the location that we stayed in was not,

    Cleanliness, the place is so dusty and it causes discomfort when there's a stormy weather. Roof leaks and unfitted broken windows.

    I liked the view I got to the beach and the surroundings. The artistry in the snooker and braai room. That was very touchy!

    A electric gate will be an added bonus to ensure safety for drivers.

    Going there with kids is a nightmare. I think the guys from eagles nest should make sure to put people with small kids in a private room. It was very inconvenient keeping my kids quiet the whole time.we left after just 3 days

    It's very beautiful at coffee bay and everyone is very friendly at the hostel

    There was very little that we didn’t like - the only thing would maybe be the cleanliness of the common area living room. The couches felt quite dirty and leaked on. I didn’t mind an awful lot because I liked the rustic feel of the place - that was part of the charm!

    The location was superb. There was a fantastic sea view and the accommodation was a very quick walk to the beach and all other amenities. The location was truly ideal. The owners/hosts at the hostel were super friendly and very accommodating. They always checked in without being invasive and they helped with every request. They were friendly and very helpful. I also enjoyed the option to relax in the common area as well as in our bedroom. The entire holiday was incredibly relaxing and very enjoyable.
