Spent 10 days at this guesthouse in December 2022, this is by far the best guesthouse I've ever stayed at. Friendly service, and when we requested the air fryer they promised they went and bought us a brand new one.

Would wholeheartedly recommend and will most definitely return here whenever I go back to Nelspruit.

We stayed for 6 nights at this lovely home - and it feels like a home and not a guesthouse. It must be the small amount of rooms (5) which give it a more exclusive feel. The guesthouse is located facing the beach and table mountain and is a few streets back from the expansive and fantastic blouberg beach.

Our room was the Lion's Den and had its own sitting area with sofa, sink , microwave and tv. The balcony faced the street and overlooked table mountain, it was not an uninterrupted view but it was gorgeous just the same for one the most beautiful cities in the world in my opinion.

the bathroom was huge with separate shower unit, corner bath and two basins - one each! and all spotlessly clean.

The bed was extremely comfortable.

The welcome was warm as the weather and Nellie was a lovely host. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was in an allocated space in the garage and although houses were bordered by high walls and electric fences, at no time did I feel uncomfortable or threatened in any way. All felt very safe with people out running and walking dogs.

The breakfast was generous and served at table in the hall area near the open plan kitchen. I found that the granola starter was enough for me, but a cooked breakfast was served if you had a larger appetite.

We are staying here again in September and will make this guesthouse our regular place to stay when we are in Cape Town visiting relatives.

Fairview wine estate do the most wonderful lunch and the staff are terrific. We would give the Boschendal estate a miss frankly.

The Magic View room requires new curtains that close properly. A good place to stay for a family. Breakfast was great but a bit variety will help. The hosts were great and there was no fuss during the check in.

Lovely stay. The facilities are clean, tranquil and the staff are super friendly and helpful. May I suggest that for long staying patrons breakfast be different on the 3rd morning. My stay was exactly what I wanted it to be.

I had a very comfortable stay at 5 Options recently and I can recommend the venue, service and amenities. The staff was friendly, food was excellent and the room had a magnifent view of the ocean. Everything was clean and in working order and the pool area was also made available to me. All in all I had a lovely experience! Thank you!

We stayed here the second time and it was as perfect as on our first stay two years ago. Katja is a wonderful and caring host, you feel very warm welcomed. We love the breakfast!! The rooms are big and very comfortable, the bathroom is very clean. Perfect spot for kitesurfing. Looking forward to come back!

Very comfortable stay with a spacious room and everything I needed. The breakfast each day was fabulous with the best fruit salad ever. I enjoyed the swimming pool and the availability of big towels. Both Neli and Mark were friendly and most welcoming.
