Comfortable.

Would like to thank you for a warm welcome. The problem was GPS location as I got lost a number of times, probably because there so many trees in area, but I would definitely return and recommend Avalon Guesthouse to anyone.

Nie geskik vir bejaardes nie, te veel trappe.

Daar was 'n groep gaste ook, Vrydagaand was hulle uit en het eenuur die nag teruggekom met baie geraas tot drie uur en aanhou raas, Saterdag was dieselfde en om twee uur die nag het ek probeer die nommer bel waar ek wou kla, maar hy was afgeskakel. Ek moes maar self die gaste probeer stilmaak om 'n bietjie te slaap voor opstaantyd. Daar was geraaskennisgewings opgeplak, maar niemand om dit te beheer nie.

Not suitable for the elderly, too many stairs.

There was a group of guests as well, Friday night they were out and came back at one o'clock in the night with a lot of noise until three o'clock and continued to noise, Saturday was the same and at two o'clock in the night I tried to call the number where I wanted to complain, but he was turned off. I had to try to quiet the guests myself to get a little sleep before getting up. There were noise notices posted, but no one to control them.

Our stay at the property was very good. However, because of rain we could not utilize the pool and the view to the ocean was not clear.

They need to improve the self-catering/kitchen facility so that it becomes more private. The sharing of the kitchen facility with family was not comfortable. Wifi was also very weak and nearly unaccessible.

Dear David,

Thank you for your valued review.
We do not have self-catering facilities. Use of the kitchen was merely out of courtesy.
We are working on improving the Wi-Fi.

Dit was baie rustig.

Die gastehuis is baie mooi en dit is in 'n rustige omgewing geleë. Gasvrye ontvangs en deurlopend gasvry. Stel baie belang in hul gaste. Ontbyt was heerlik en daar was 'n veskeidenheid. Ons het lekker gekuier. Dit is net bietjie vêr van alles en veral van die strande.

It was very peaceful.

The guest house is very nice and it is located in a peaceful environment. Hospitable reception and continuously hospitable. Takes a lot of interest in their guests. Breakfast was delicious and there was a variety of vegetables. We had a nice time. It is just a bit far from everything and especially from the beaches.

Pragtige, netjiese en vriendelike gastehuis.

Ons het laat daar aangekom, maar dit was geen probleem vir die eienaars om ons nog steeds vriendelik en hulpvaardig te ontvang nie. Die kos was heerlik. Die eetsaal en kamers was baie skoon. Sal definitief hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel!

Dit voel of jy by familie kuier.

Nigel en Charleen ontsien geen moeite om jou tuis te laat voel nie. Die kamers is goed ingerig en die beddens baie gemaklik. Hulle doen baie moeite om als skoon en netjies te hou. Die ontbyt is heerlik met ruim porsies. Dit is lekker stil en rustig hier. Die swembad is heerlik. Ek sal beslis weer besoek.

Ek beveel Avalon aan, ons kuier was absoluut die moeite werd! Shereen en Nigel laat mens so tuis voel soos by jou eie huis. Ontbyt is fantasies en die kamers en perseel ens. is altyd skoon en ruik lekker. Sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan.
