Detailed Reviews
From the moment we arrived at the guesthouse, the serene sea views offered an immediate sense of peace and tranquillity, setting a perfect tone for our stay. My suite was large and airy and meticulously appointed with a modern shower and a luxurious bath, ample cupboard space, and a dedicated working station thoughtfully positioned to overlook the calming sea. The natural light flooding the room added to the overall soothing ambience.
However, the true highlight of our stay was the unparalleled service provided by Yamkelani. Her attention to detail, genuine warmth, and exceptional hospitality surpassed anything we've ever experienced, even when compared to the services offered by some of the most renowned luxury establishments. Yamkelani, with her remarkable dedication, embodies the pinnacle of guest service, offering a personalized and thoughtful touch that makes you feel valued and understood. It's not just service; it's an experience meticulously crafted to anticipate and cater to every possible need, leaving nothing to be desired.
Her proactive approach to guest satisfaction is a rare find.
Our subsequent stay at a 5-star luxury establishment only cast a starker light on the unique and genuine warmth we received at the guesthouse. The stark contrast of the luxury establishment's cold, detached, and somewhat superficial welcome further underscored the exceptional nature of Yamkelani's service.
The guesthouse is lovely, but Yamkelani's exceptional service sets it apart. She must be living up to her name, which means "Welcome."

The staff was amazing 👏 we arrived way before check in time exhausted and they did their best to assist us. The place smelled good, it was clean and the staff was helpful. There was no cutlery or plates in the room but the kitchen is close by and it was easy to get it.

Chantelle, the owner of this establishment, and Yami, her cousin and assistant were gracious hosts. Chantelle’s renovation and decoration of this place is stunning. We had a beautiful room with an ocean view and balcony and slept very comfortably. Breakfasts were great and the conversation was memorable. Can’t give a high enough recommendation.

I have been staying at this B&B for the past 6 years and its home away from home.
Irene, Michelle and support teams are awesome and Irene makes the best breakfast south of the Limpopo !
The luxury, décor and the quality of accessories is second to none.

Excellent location. Peaceful location. The house was absolutely stunning inside and out. Staff was so lovely and accommodating. The rooms was a nice size and bed was very comfortable. I could not fault Blue View one bit. Will definitely stop here again and hopefully soon. Keep up the good work.

Michelle was a tremendous hostess and gave us VG info for the rest of the trip.Plus, we had 'five star' accommodations. It's a little out of town, but a very nice area, and a great view. We wish we could have stayed an extra night.

Hi,
I am writing to inform you of double dealings from a bed and breakfast in East London. The Blue View B&B run by Fiona Vermulen is a nice establishment... but is poorly and illegally run. We had hired her 2 upstairs rooms for an agreed amount per month as we were needing a place for when we were in EL (about 1/2 to 3/4 of the month sporadically) - and had done so for more then 8 months. We had just paid her for the Month of Sept and she's gone and re-rented our room out to someone else and accepted our money for the month. Thus getting paid twice for the same room and same time. Defrauding her customers! She's hinted about doing this before and I clearly stated that that is not allowed... and I firmly believe that she's done this before.
You can find her info at - [--] cell: [--]
I write this to you asking you not to support her establishment - I will not be pressing charges, but will be letting all the travel associations and tourism groups know of her double dealings.
Thank you for your time.
Tami le Roux

The accommodation is well considered with lots of attention to detail such as chocolates, sherry and coffee presses. The rooms are large and the bed comfortable with a separate lounge area to work in.
Very pleasant stay.
