The best to be right on the beach and enjoy!

It was great but I used most for sleeping because spent the day out. The shower water flow needs an improvment and the room needs some extra blockout curtains because as the sun rises the light in the room makes impossible to sleep. The owner was so friendly and welcoming and all was clean and confortable. I really enjoyed my stay.

Besuch an der Westküste ...

Die Gastgeber Duncan und Marina haben mit Ihrem Guesthouse ganze Arbeit geleistet. Die Zimmer mit eigenem kleinen Bad sind mit einfachen Mitteln sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und extrem bequem. Man kann sich vor jedem Zimmer - sozusagen direkt am Strand - an einen kleinen Tisch setzen und den Meeresblick genießen. Das reichhaltige Frühstück kann man im Obergeschoss des Hauses mit Blick aufs Meer einnehmen, was auch eine Terrasse einschließt. Leider haben wir hier nur eine Nacht verbracht......das wird sich beim nächsten mal ändern ! Thank you Duncan & Marina !

Awesome stay!

We had an amazing stay, from the welcoming check-in, the room and the view to the breakfast and the nice and friendly talks with the owner. The beach is almost empty and you are able to see it from your bed. To fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves was also a special treat. We can highly recommend this place! It was awesome in every aspect! We wlll definitely be back :-)

Toller Aufenthalt fuer wenig Geld

alles war perfekt, netter Empfang, sauberes kleines Zimmer aber war alles da was man braucht, mit Meerblick, 1 Minute vom Strand, Wasserkocher im Zimmer, in der Lounge wird von allen 4 Zimmern benutzt, komplette Kueche, grosser Esstisch und Sofaecke mit TV, DVDs und Buechern. Man braucht ein Auto um hinzukommen und um evtl in die naechste Ortschaft zu fahren, ca 10 min, fuer Geschaefte/Restaurant/Tankstelle

Very Special

We needed t get away for a while after a very emotional and hectic few weeks including a flight from Canada, Absolute Beach was perfect. The service was superb and so were the breakfasts. The view from our table at breakfast was beautiful. Not to forget the superb companionship of the legend himself - Mr. Watson.

Excellent B & B on the beach.

We booked the bed and breakfast as a relaxing first couple of days on arrival in South Africa and were very happy with our choice. The accommodation is right on the beach in a quiet residential neighbourhood but provided a good base for a day long secluded beach walk to Paternoster and back. The hosts were fantastic, allowed us to check-in early and even offered to drive to pick us up in the event that we tired during our walk. Our room was great, with lots of attention to detail and included coffee and tea making facilities, fridge etc. and the wifi was adequate. The breakfast was substantial with a range of drink, cereals, fruit and yoghurt and full english cooked to order. All in all a great experience.

Beautiful guest house on the beach

I stayed at Absolute Beach for one night and I wish it had been for longer. Beautifully decorated, homely guest house, right on the beach. Very quiet location, but so relaxing if you need a break or time out. You can use the lounge and the facilities in the kitchen. Thank you to Marina and Duncan for being the most welcoming and warm hosts.
