although the bathroom was very dark and there was no surface to put toiletries (I feel that the owners of B@Bs should spend at least one night in each room so they can discover such issues.

This doesn't leave a good taste in anyone's mouth and I must say that this kind of thing reminds a person of our "dark" past in Sout Africa.

The staff is super friendly, great service, super clean.

The owner of the place is super friendly and helpful.

Hospitality.Is exelent everyone is extreamly friendly.

and I would definitely visit it again.. the hospitality is excellent and everyone is friendly and the service is truly out of this world..

A very good venue with friendly and helpful staff.

Great food, lovely hosts and friendly staff.

This is my first time at Benri  and I will say that it was very pleasant and staff were very friendly.

Good accommodation by the beach , friendly staff, clean linen, safe environment , good home away from home.

The kitchen staff was also friendly especially Phindi who always carried her beautiful smile.

A homely place with friendly management and stuff.

Good day

I would like to say that I feel at home @ benri guest house and the friendly staff that makes your stay so pleasant and the service is wonderful.

Room is beautiful and everyone so friendly.

The staff and management are always friendly and I will recommend the place to my friends and family.

Great staff and what really impressed me was that they still pray together before starting the day.Blessed
Friendly staff and really felt at home.Breakfast the Best!I will defenitly visit the guesthouse again

Daisy and all the other staff was so helpful and friendly and made us feel at home.

The staff was so friendly and the breakfast was delicious, I loved everything about it and yes the sea view from my room was amazing so yes I'm definitely coming back,thank u Benri b n b so much guys😊

The staff was friendly and extremely helpfull.

Penthouse is ideal for family ,and longer stays.

Very nice place with exceptional view from the Penthouse.

The penthouse is spacious and met all our requirements.

I am SO glad that we chose to stay at the penthouse at Benri during our visit back to Gonubie from the UK.

arriving at Gonubie we had a warm welcome, the penthouse was well equipped, spotless clean, had comfortable beds, and we had an amazing view from the deck, we could see whales breaching twice.

Great facilities, very neat and clean, friendly service and well equiped and spacious Penthouse.

The Penthouse is amazing with awesome views. .

I stayed with my family in Benri's penthouse on our holidays in SA.

I'm sure the Penthouse is also a spectacular setting,

Huge penthouse which accommodated my husband and myself together with our toddler and infant.

Mid winter is pretty quiet in Gonubie, so we were offered a good deal on the penthouse, which had everything we needed (self catering) as well as a hearty hot breakfast.

Room 4 is very small, probably better for a single than 2 people,

Rooms 2 and 4 also have small balconies and limited ocean views.

The hospitality and friendliness of the staff makes you feel at home while not being at home.

you guys are doing exceptionally well given that we still are under covid regualtions and restrictions.

Thank you so much Daisy and the ladies.. 💕💕

The food is divine, the rooms are amazing and the staff lovely!

The hosts and their staff were very professional and thoughtful.

Daisy and Bronwyn are fantastic as well as the kitchen staff.

Lovely location close to the beach, very helpful staff that make this place.

I fell sick while there and they were so kind to my husband and I. I really cannot say anything negative about our stay.

Looking for the perfect place around EL, go to Benri B&B situated in Gunubie, near the sea.

Will hopefully return for a longer stay, The sea view was fantastic even the glass on the outside deck was spotless.

Food is divine, and the best is the wonderful views from your room.

What a pleasant stay, fantastic view, clean and more than comfortable!

The place was clean, I had a great view of the ocean, and you feel safe there.

Very quiet location beautiful view very secured home very nice people.

breakfast is simple yet tasty with spectacular views.

The view form our room and the dining room was spectacular.

The sea breeze is so refreshing  and exciting.

It is a beautiful and neat place with a lovely view over the ocean.

Great sea view and crashing sounds of the waves makes it a beautiful place I would reccomend to friends and family.

Nice and neat quiet area, close to the sea about 500m to the sea.

This beautiful B&B has some of the most amazing views.

The verandah overlooked the sea and the area was safe and ideal for a run

The room that we stayed in had the beautiful view of the ocean and just the general service was superb.

The views are Gorgeous , sitting on the stoep just relaxing was great.

The weather was also nice for me and the temperature of the beach water.

The hotel is in an awesome location, right next to the beach.

The hotel is situated in a perfect spot close to the beach,

Great river views and just a few steps down to the fantastic "wild" beach.

Good breakfast and friendly staff, and the highlight was close access to the beach for a bracing early morning walk.

Nice location overlooking river with walking access to lagoon and nice beach.

Our daughter was lucky to have her dad book her a suite at The Blue Lagoon Hotel from where she could prepare for her Matric Farewell, have her photos taken, and sleep safely after those "after parties" we're all so aware off (as the hotel is superbly located near the main beach and the city).

This hotel is what you looking for if you want endless sand beaches.

Just a short walk to the river and the beach.

The location is perfect and you have acces to the wonderful beach.

I also enjoy the swimming pool and the location just next to the beach.

The breakfast omellette was spectacular (some of the premium hotels from the V&A Waterfront should come and see how it is done).

The hotel is situated next to the beach and a very quite and private place.The food is a five star food and the choice is very wide it caters for vegetarians also.The chef takes interest in the clients to check how satisfied are they with the menu of the day.

What I loved the most was acess to private beach .

Fabulously situated hotel with pristine beaches and lagoon close by.

The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful.

Very clean rooms, friendly staff, beautiful area.

The only good thing about this place is that the staff are very friendly and hard working.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Location is perfect with fantastic views over the ocean  .Staff are very friendly and always ready to assist.I really enjoy their  buffet with and rest of  food choices are graet.

All front desk staff is very friendly, even the trainees are carrying the same level of service.

The cleanliness of the Blue Lagoon Hotel, friendly staff at the reception and the restaurant, the cleaners and also the gardeners they cannot pass without greeting you with a friendly smile and they are everyday willing to assist when someone needs help.

The food was excellent and the stuff was so friendly.

Food of excellent quality with helpful friendly waitresses.

You receive a friendly and helpful welcome when you walk into the reception and continued friendliness and help right until you leave.

The hotel staff is friendly; the hotel rooms are in excellent condition and the food is immaculately prepared and tastes deliciously.

My experience staying at Blue Lagoon is good and always been welcome friendly.

The waiter and the waitresses that assisted us at conference room 1 were very helpful and friendly.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Room service was efficient and staff generally friendly.

Excellent very well situated, I enjoyed the stay and the food was very good and well prepared, it was very neat rooms and quiet, all the staff is friendly and very helpful.

But the place is looking good and on a good location.

Location perfect, overall experience and service poor. 1.

This property has a great location, our room was adequate, clean, spacious with a lovely view balcony.

One of the best meals in East London since EL is under serviced when it comes to the quality of cooked food ,boufe is of high quality and also how the meat is prepared.Beautiful location at the lagoon wish we could have a clear view of the ocean ocean view is better than a view of a drying lagoon

A great location, great service and staff!

Superb location and great and welcoming atmosphere from reception to the rooms.

This hotel and position on the Nahoon River certainly sells East London as an idyllic destination.

Beautiful clean rooms, fantastic staff, great location and value for money, will definitely go again.

The location is perfect which I could extend my stay.

its the ideal location for business travelers and family vacations.

Located in a nice clean suburb with shops 5km's awayFantastic breakfast, great restaurant & view of the river.

While walking barefoot in the apartment after arrival I stepped into a piece a glass and a few doors down was a room that had a party into the morning hours for these reasons I didn't rate the accommodation a five.

Buzzing noise from the circuit box (video available) - how can we sleep while fearing to burn in our sleep) SCARY

This is a loud noise and continuous throughout the night much to one's annoyance.

During my previous stay a group of rowdy people cam back from some function and the party carried on in the parking lot.

Sounded like we were a party of 10 insted of 2 in a room.

Drunk people everywhere, loud music all the time.

If you value family time during the Night, then this place is not made for you, if you are on a business trip on a weekend , then this place is not made for you, If you dislike you private space and enjoy drunk people on your doorstep, Blue Lagoon is your valley!

Consider that there is a night club and you'll hear drunk people outside if you're a light sleeper on one of the ground floor rooms.

Very noisy parties in the parking area in front of my room.

but nothing was done and the party went on till 3am.

have stayed there  a few times before and always had good service and memoriesthis time was different  - booked a sea/ river facing room which I did not getstrong smell of sewrage  outside my roomgate access to beach was broken so could not get onto the beachpeople had a party through Friday night above our room

2018 was the year where playing hop scotch was the game, I was transfered to 3 rooms, after 1) The room was not completed, pillows missing the pillow cases, no hot water, aircon broken - room 2 ) looks like someone after cleaning the room had a power nap and forgot to make the bed again, room 3) besides for the broken tv and the faint smell of what ever it was it was the best of the three rooms, Taking into account that we had 7 rooms there only 1 person had no complaints

The hotel does not live up to a 4 star rating and value for money is poor.

however the quality of the linen, bedding and bathroom towels was poor.

We could not sleep or even relax as the noise levels were high due to poor design.

Room E08 was in poor shape, with badly hung curtains, a noisy bedroom window that didn't seal properly from wind, and bad TV reception.

The quality of food in the restaurant is generally poor, overprocessed and unhealthy.

However internet which is a must these days was very poor.

The bed linen was of poor quality and felt damp.

Breakfast was poor one morning both in the type of food and the quality.

Great location, pity about the slow and poor room service.

but need to ensure that the noise after 22:00 rule is adhered to.

During my last stay some idiot was hooting his horn at 00:40 in the morning.

The only thing I can fault is the beeping box for the night-guards which was a bit bothersome because it was right outside our apartment,

but we could hear EVERY noise from our neighbours who were drinking and loud the whole night.

Soundproofing needs improvement, the door from my room that seemingly lead to the room behind doesn't do justice.

I also appreciated how they managed noise by asking guests to stay indoors after 10pm and not stay on the Balcony.

Interleading door between units & extraction ducts seemed to allow sound to be transmitted from neighbouring rooms.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit with my 4 year old son, he could not sleep with all the noise and shouting in the unit nextdoor and outside infront of our unit.

Shouting and screaming is something your children have to get use to.

Conference venue can be very noisy especially when different groups break at different times.

At night there was a party across our room with such loud noise, we informed the switch who promised to get security

I think if you book a room which is not located facing the parking lot where people start shouting around at 4.30am in the morning it might be nice.

Did not have proper sleep over the 2 days I was there, noisy guests at late hours and hotel phone waking you up at odd hours 2am, 3am very unpleased with the noise level.

The place was very noisy Friday evening well into the early hours .

The aircon was old and with a rattling noise.

but only to see the shower in this unit was also filthy I had no choice but to shower  when we walked into the restaurant the staff were babling away by the coffee station not taking notice of our order for coffee or tea overall the kitchen staff at the eating station were very helpfull and on their posts

Other than a few annoying things i.e guests making noise well past midnight, a few appliances not fully functional , staff is really great and the service at the restaurant is brilliant.

The place is heaven,I enjoyed every moment from the room to the food to the staff and the beach view I had from my room.

Was a delightful surprise it was to stay there this time, staff and facilities are much better than you would expect for the price.

I really enjoyed my 3days stay in your place.Your rooms are fine,food is palatable, surroundings are welcoming and the conference room was top.I will come with my family next time.Keep up the good work.Thank You

The Staff is Nice and the Breakfast is Deliscious, best time is when all the Drunks are still asleep.

Spent a night at the Blue Lagoon on the way back to Durban from a very long round trip, it was like an oasis and the one nights rest in their stunning rooms was just what I needed, thank you for the excellent service, Peter Gregersen and the Team are amazing!

Breakfast was good, staff was nice and helpful.

Everything was perfect from reception to when we left.

the level of service is always exceptionally well.

It was nice to be at blue lagoon, it just the staff members they don't explain the same thing.

One Towel, 3 sugars, no coffee sachets for a 2 adults booking - riddle me that? 5.

There were no towels and there was a pile of sand and dark hair by the sliding door.

Only small problem seemed to be a towel shortage: used towels (room and pool) were removed and not replaced until later.

but you can improve on the bathroom towels, I guess you had water restrictions as well.

It would be appreciated if extra towels could be added in the rooms.

Buy new bedding, towels, security to stop knocking on guests doors in the middle of the night, inter leading doors not safe.

the only thing I had abit of  challenge with is the texture and color of the towels in the bathroom

Great views and the food and service was amazing!

but the most beautiful sunset view over the Nahoon made up for it.

The sea view was absolutely beautiful and we would without a doubt come back

Excellent views, stayed in the 2bed apartment clean and comfortable.

Blue Lagoon is set geographically at the confluence of the Nahoon river and the Indian Ocean.

The rooms were beautifully maintained, comfortably laid-out with all the amenities she needed, and the views, decks and gardens made for some spectacular photos - ensuring a night she will never forget.

Rooms are excellent with beautiful views.

Perfect balance between sophisticated modern design & service and nature surroundings and views!

The place itself is just too gorgeous, the ambiance is so peaceful, yet with a great vibe and the oceanic views are just amazing.
