Under the Boardwalk B&B Guest House

Very warm welcome. We were delayed arriving and phoned to let the property know. They kindly assured us that it would not be a problem. The view from the property was spectacular and the breakfast was excellent. Good position for visiting the local area.

Just very small things would enhance the stay like a bath mat for the bathroom floor. A couple of light bulbs weren’t working and the Venetian blinds were a little dusty. None of this would put you off staying. The positives far exceeded the negatives.

Beautiful views, lovely room

The hill up to it

Excellent location. Staff were very accommodating. The breakfast was lovely. We didn’t notice other guests were there (I think they were, it was just quiet and peaceful).

Smallish bathroom. Loads of steps. Rooms slightly cool/draughty.

We liked the location in Constantia Kloof and close proximity to the Village, eateries and other sights

We were disappointed by the room/accommodation allocated to us. We feel the various types of accommodation (apart from the choice between self-catering and B&B) shown on the website, is in reality not available or not clearly/fully explained on the website. The owners were exceptionally friendly, gave us a room (which according to them was an upgrade from what we had booked), but this did not meet our expectations from what we saw and could have been our standalone villa as depicted on the booking.com website. The situation of having beautiful log-cabin villas with a porter on standby carrying your luggage up the many stairs to your villa/accommodation was not true. We were told that THAT section of the once, entire property (Boardwalk Lodge) had been sold off and is operated by other people (not specified). Hence our disappointment. If the latter situation is true, then it should be corrected on the website. The double room that we were given as an "upgrade" in comparison to whatever we had booked (we chose B&B as opposed to self-catering accommodation) was clean/neat with a lovely view but notwithstanding that, we had a room above us where we could hear people move about in the evening and it thus felt as if we were in someone's basement. The fact that we were handed a breakfast voucher for our last morning to use at The Girls restaurant left us thinking that since we were the last couple to check out the Monday, the effort was too great to offer us breakfast on the premises.
