Detailed Reviews
The host and hostess were very accommodating as we had a very late check in. We found the rooms very clean and I must say the sheets had a lovely fragrance. In the morning the hostess made sure the kettle was boiled so we could at least have a cup of tea and rusks during load shedding. The inn is very nicely positioned close the beautiful promenade.

Friendly, clean, comfortable, and provides for any need. The dining room is very inviting, big fridge for our food, breakfast cereals, and rusks are free of charge. Good coffee too. The staff are always available and enthusiastic to serve. Will definitely return there in the future.

Overall, our stay was very pleasant. The location is excellent - just 1 block from the beach and close to a number of shops and restaurants. Lovely communal pool and braai area. Only negative is that the rooms do not have independent DSTV controls so you have no choice over what to watch in your room.

Hi Shaun, Thank you for your feedback and thank you for staying with us. We are aware that the Television channels is limited in the guests rooms and we are in the process to change it by changing the televisions in the rooms to Smart TV s to give guests more options for viewing. Unfortunately DSTV in all rooms has become so expensive and we are looking into offering alternatives eg. Netflix. Thank you also for your positive feedback re our location and pool area. We look forward to welcome you back to our place. All the best for 2022.

The hosts Oom Bokkie and Annie were really very freindly. Annie was an absolute star and went out of her way to make us feel at home and comfortable. She is a true asset and a star! Assisted us with arranging bolt trips and guiding us on the Mycity bus locations and routes.

I stayed 3 nights at the Dolphin Inn and it is a great place; quite private place with swimming pool, BBQ, kitchen and very clean rooms. There is a parking place and is at walking distance from the beach. Also the owners are very friendly so can recommend it!
