Roxy is amazing, not only did she go out of her way for a special request but when I discovered my next stop was less than desirable she stepped up with recommendations that are almost as good. The rooms are spacious; well decorated and comfortable. The breakfast is superb.

Great value and hospitality, affording large modern rooms and bathroom with plenty storage too, all in very central, safe and convenient location - definitely great choice for business or leisure stays in PE! Only gripe is the TV which is a bit on small side as rooms are large! Can definitely recommend.

I stayed for a few nights and was pleasantly surprised by the clean and well appointed rooms that offered every convenience. When I was there the weather turned nasty but the room was heated. Bathrooms are excellent and all other amenities (fridge, microwave and a nice TV) are all provided. Breakfast was great, and the atmosphere warm with a number of regulars to the guest house being there. I would highly recommend this venue as both the accommodation and staff are great.

The first impression of Retreat on Main Bed and Breakfast is of an upmarket and expensive establishment. Upon arrival though we were greeted by Roxy and immediately made to feel at home. The room and facilities were excellent and the breakfast was great. I look forward to coming again.

What a lovely place to stay , I intended to stay there for 2 night but i extended for three extra night because of the rooms are specius. The main reason we chose the place was the fact that there is swimming pool for our kids to swim.. swimming pool was deal maker. The pool was never opened while we were there, we requested that pool should be open for our kids to swim, The owner indicated that she has one key and there is no spare , since she is going away the pool will be closed until she returned in the after .To our suprise a cocashian couple who are staying at the same place had key and they kids were swimming, and this happened about 3 times during our stay the cocashian would open the pool and swim with his family and the pool will be closed immediately as soon as our kids approachthe pool to swim everyone got out of pool and they locked it. The following morning we went to inquired about the why other tanent has the keys and she lied and said that is because they are permenant residence and that was untrue,because I had chat with cocasian couple and they told me that they coming from Sandton, they are also on holiday. During the inquiry she also indicated that there are cost implication ..we asked if was it because of our skin color and she said no they do not operate like that , but. the actions to us were off that we are black and the other tanent were white.…

Hi Justice T, We are desperately sad to hear that you were displeased with your stay. However, we do need to clarify a few things for you. The pool is never opened while there are guests. We had a near drowning in the pool due to the negligence of the parents of the victim, and we then made a decision to cover the pool, with an ensured safety cover that cannot be opened, to ensure the safety of our guests. Something that no accommodation institutions offer to my knowledge - I will happily be corrected. It is only opened upon request of guests who acknowledge the responsibility is theirs to ensure the safety of their children. You stated clearly that you wanted someone there to watch your children, and this is not possible - as was stated in the indemnity document that you signed. The issue of racial discrimination is a disturbing one, and seeing that the majority of our guests and patrons are not of caucasian decent is testament to the fact that we DO NOT under any circumstances endorse any form of racial discrimination. You level many accusations based on hearsay. We can only hope that you return to our wonderful establishment so that you may see that we are fully accommodating of any and all guests. We are, however, guilty of making every effort to ensure the safety of our guests, and to this end we make absolutely no exceptions. We hope to see you again.

We stayed here because it is conveniently situated. Apart from a slight checking in bungle (- the staff weren't expecting us!) our weekend here was delightful. The decor was extremely tasteful and the bed was very comfortable and breakfast delicious. Very pleasant, friendly young lady standing in for the owner, did her very best to try & make up for the misunderstanding during our stay.
