Location could not have been better. Close walk to the beautiful sea front and a short walk to Sea Point shops and restaurants.
However I take no pleasure whatsoever in writing the following comments for this review which I am writing a week after our return having given myself time to sleep on the subject matter.
This b&b is behind an electronic gate and our valuables were locked in the safe provided in our room. However, both my friend and I had (English) money stolen from the locked safe. Management were immediately informed and we asked to call the Police which Nicole (Manager) duly did. The Police were meant to return and fingerprint - this did not happen which left a massive cloud hanging over us all for the remainder of our trip. Nicole denied liability - only she had access to the master key to open the safes and this is kept off site. However, SOMEBODY stole our money. We had to contact home to organise money transfers to keep us going the 2nd week and now trying to claim via travel insurance. On packing to leave, we have also found items of clothing are also missing. Apologies to Nicole for not updating her on this but by this time, we just wanted to leave.
Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Eggs being the order of the day - none of them cooked very nicely. That left toast and jam etc. Other than the day Nicole was in charge of breakfast, the breakfast buffet was not covered over - flies on the very nice looking fruit meant that it was toast for us for 2 weeks. This is a vegetarian house which we were not aware of until we sat down for breakfast on day 1. Even the advertised croissants were not available when I asked for one for a change.
Plug sockets. Sounds petty but it was a constant battle to unplug the fridge to plug in the hairdryer or hair tongs due to the wall socket being extremely difficult to negotiate. TV also did not work for the entirety of our stay - Nicole did try to get this fixed for us to no avail.
This was a holiday of a lifetime - marred by the above. We left disappointed - theft is theft and we expected our valuables to be secure in a locked safe.
