We had the joy of staying at St James during our trip to South Africa. We were warmly welcomed and given lots of useful information about places to eat and visit during our stay. Brenton on Sea was beautiful, long stretch of beach to walk along, and I’m sure on a warmer day the sea would have been a great swim. The restaurant here, The Blue Butterfly was amazing, highly recommend for lunch or dinner

Great location and very attentive staff
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
The whole property is very dated and from a time gone bye. Having said that the suite we had was perfect - large and modern and very clean. The hotel is hanging on to the past - limited food options and leaving no alternative but to eat in the waterfront in town.
