We had an amazing 2 night stay at Stone Olive. Janine and her staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a bigger room and it was simply phenomenal. The morning sun peeled through the big windows overlooking the JBay Ocean in the morning. Centrally located, extremely secure, a wonderful breakfast offered at the property and local suggestions of where to eat or places to keep you busy. We had an absolutely amazing time and will definitely be back again soon.

Our recent stay at Brighton Lodge was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks largely to the incredible hospitality of our host, Claudette. From the moment we arrived, Claudette’s warm and welcoming nature set the tone for a truly memorable visit. Her natural gift for hosting shines through in every interaction—it’s evident she was born for this role. The lodge itself is an absolute gem. Tastefully decorated with elegant fixtures and thoughtfully chosen furnishings, every corner exudes charm and sophistication. The ambiance perfectly captures a sense of tranquility and calm, ideal for relaxing and unwinding. Brighton Lodge’s location is simply unbeatable. Nestled in a peaceful setting, it’s surprisingly just a short stroll away from the bustling beachfront, vibrant restaurants, the lively Boardwalk Mall, and various charming shops. You truly get the best of both worlds—serenity and convenience combined. Breakfast each morning was delightful—beautifully presented, full of variety, and the perfect start to our day. Claudette enhanced the experience through her genuine interest in ensuring guests enjoyed their meals and their stay, offering valuable insights and excellent recommendations on local attractions, must-visit sites, and hidden gems around the area. If you’re looking for exceptional accommodation paired with heartfelt hospitality and a prime location, Brighton Lodge, with Claudette as your host, is undoubtedly the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

Since my last stay at See More it has been reconfigured and extra rooms made available. I was not aware of this at the time of booking and ended up with a budget room which is small and shares a bathroom. This was my mistake but it didn`t seem that clear when I booked. Just be aware of this when booking. The pool rooms however are spacious and fantastic.

The hotel has beautiful gardens with lots of birds, and each room has a semi-private area outside with a table and chairs. The room was larger than expected, and I loved the uniqueness of the décor. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the design of the rooms. My room was very comfortable, and the toiletries were great. The hotel has a bar where you can just help yourself and write down what you've taken to pay later. I loved this idea, and the bar was well stocked. Breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were super friendly.

Angela is such a lovely host, mam Ange was also very nice!! The place is absolutely stunning, beautiful views clean and excellent facilities (the units have everything that one needs in a self catering accommodation). Would have loved to stay here for our entire vacation in Port Alfred, but the other dates were fully booked.
