15 - 19 DECEMBER 2005 From Linda Simoes by

My husband and I found The Saffron House absolutely wonderful. Ian and Jenny were absolutely obliging with any need that we might have had. They have an absolutely wonderful disposition and could not do enough for us. The conditions of the B&B were first class. Very, very clean, neat and truly peaceful and most inviting. Breakfast was above first class! An absolutely delicious experience! Both Ian and Jen went the extra mile to make our stay the most enjoyable. Linda Simoes

Facilities are excellent, location is ideal, hosts are friendly. Good value for money.




Although this guesthouse is clean and nice, the atmosphere is unwelcoming and inhospitable. 

From the first phone call to request that we drop off bags early, the lack of basic hospitality was evident.  In South Africa it is commonplace to expect that a guesthouse will assist its guests with small requests such as this to make their stay easier - you cannot expect this at the Saffron.  Such requests will come with a price tag and sneer from the owners.

It was an unpleasant stay and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Establishment Response: 

DearSir, I received a request by telephone call around 11h15 for an early checkin.as our normal check in time is from 14h00.

Iadvised that this was possible for a small fee (to cover the additional staff).

Theclient appeared on the telephone to agree so we proceeded to get the room readyand was available from 12h00.

Theclient then did not arrive until our normal check in time of 14h00.

Aftera discussion at check out the client stated that he had only wanted to drop offhis bags early and did not require an early check in.

Iremoved the charge from his bill.

sincerely apologise for this misunderstanding on my part and will always checkwhat the actual requirements are for the client in the future.



Close to the beach and friendly staff by

This is the first bnb where I was offered a breakfast pack because I was going to leave too early to catch breakfast. Very awesome!! The door to my room was a bit noisy.


Cosy, comfortable stay by

Room was spacious, clean and with a comfortable bed. Shower pressure was good, mini-bar well stocked. Wifi was rather slow but that is no deal-breaker. Breakfast had a good selection and I would stay here again if I was in the area.
