Resorts in Pennington

My friends and I had a great time in Selbourne definitely coming back ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The silence surrounding us, was just so peaceful. The hosts were very welcoming & friendly. The pool was crystal clear. it's child friendly( 7 and under 1 plus cot provided on request) bonus, our kids had a fab time. Private entrance to the beach just around the corner. Overall fabulous night away to celebrate a birthday with our kids.

The location is right at the beach.

My family and I had a spectacular stay at this hotel. Situated in the hills with a beautiful view of the calm Scottbrough ocean, which is ideal for swimming and surfing. The meals were scrumptious and cooked to perfection. The pool bar offered a large variety of drinks. It was so pleasant to swim in a freshly clean pool. The hotel offered miniature golf and a small playground for the children to burn their energy. There was even a pizza oven for freshly cooked pizzas. The rooms were capacious, with a private balcony, private bathroom, TV, ceiling fan, dressing table, cupboards and air conditioner. The also had a modern designed and fitted with smart technology like the LG smart television. The hotel staff always cleaned the rooms to their finest point. Reception always made a good effort to help me with whatever we needed. There is security parking there for R30 per day as December 2019. Guests have to use a security code to gain access to the public beach gate. With a high crime rate in South Africa The Blue Marlin ensures that their guests are under good surveillance. For those interested in scuba diving there is a scuba diving shop in which one can do their open water course. Divers get the privilege of diving at the famous Aliwal Shoal Reef which is one of the top ten diving spots in the world. I scuba dived with tiger sharks and dolphins. If you are lucky you can swim with humpback whales as the Indian Oceans warm tropical waters are perfect for humans to swim in. The beach itself is very pleasant. It is kept in clean condition. Offering the options of swimming in the ocean or tide pool. There are lifeguards on duty for all areas. There are rock pools only a short distance walk away where one can go snorkeling or fishing. I saw a fisherman catch a king fish and snorkeled with a turtle. I would definitely recommend The Blue Marlin Hotel as a holiday destination for anyone.

On arrival we were suprized with how clean the place was. We had clean towels, soap in the kitchen, even coffee, tea, sugar and milk in the fridge. The kitchen was equipped with everything we need. I will never stay in another place.

Mark, the host, was super friendly, accommodating and helpful, giving us great tips on where to eat and what to do nearby. The place was spacious and clean. Close to beaches and amenities.

Secured, beautiful garden, good breakfast, comfortable bed, AC in a hot day/night, quiet area, swimming pool with towels/beach chairs, stuff friendliness, viewing monkeys passing by our porch every evening. Attentive hosts/stuff. We were offered car service to/from their owned Diving Center "Agulhas House." Also, they provide different tours if you want to get more than just diving.
