Ambercrest B&B & Self-Catering | Scottburgh Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
← Blue Marlin Hotel
Sole’s Leap →
This classic Scottburgh home is uniquely decorated and offers comfortable accommodation in a home-like atmosphere with personal attention to detail and old fashioned hospitality. Ambercrest Guesthouse and Self-Catering was taken over by the current owners in 2007. The old main house was renovated and decorated using a mix of antique and modern furniture. The main house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, whilst the two self-catering cottages sleeps two each and are fully furnished.
Both the main house and the cottages have braai (BBQ) facilities. The main house has a wooden deck overlooking the ocean. Ideal for watching the whale or dolphins at play, or just relaxing with a sun downer.
Our breakfasts really set us apart from other accommodation establishments. You can expect to start with cereals, fresh fruit and yogurt. Tea & Coffee, followed by a hot breakfast, ranging from an omelette to bobotie – our signature dish!
Ample parking (up to 10 cars) is available behind automated gates.
The gardens have been re-landscaped and a swimming pool was added. The theme throughout is tropical, both in order to save water, but also to limit maintenance. Plants have been selected for most indigenous and endemic plants, but exotics have also been included. We do have many feathered visitors throughout the year.
Since we are animal lovers, we do keep dogs (very friendly cocker spaniels), cats, birds and fish on the property that is just over two thousand square meters.

Baie netjiese akkommodasie met die heerlikste ontbyte. Ons is diereliefhebbers en die hondekinders het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons sal beslis weer daar bly.
Dit was heerlik gewees. Sal enige tyd terug gaan!
Het heerlik oorgebly en baie wenke van eetplekke ens. van die eienaar ontvang.
Lekker gebly en was goedkoper as om in die vakansie-woonstelle te bly.
Vriendelik. Lekker kos.
Dis nie vyster nie, maar baie goeie waarde vir geld.
Ambercrest is tops as bed and breakfast accommodation. Its is truly home away from home. It was no problem for me to come to the breakfast table in my pyjamas. The owners have 3 dogs which also made me feel at home as I have dogs of my own. Breakfasts were excellent and the hot component was never duplicated in the 4 mornings of my stay.
Ek sal die B&B aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Goeie ligging. Veilig.
Eienaars was hulpvaardig en gasvry. Wonderlike mense met ‘n pragtige gastehuis. Die woonstel was goed toegerus en baie gemaklik vir my twee hondjies omdat dit ‘n klein tuintjie het. Ek sal beslis weer daar gaan bly en sal voorstel dat enige iemand van die B&B gebruik maak!
Ontbyt elke oggend ‘n verrassing en so lekker.
Neels en Leon het ons van dag een tuis laat voel. Hulle is twee fantastiese gashere wat uit hulle pad gaan om jou verblyf so gemaklik en lekker moontlik te maak. Hulle het ons elke oggend bederf met die interessantste ontbytidees waarin soveel moeite gesit is. Dankie vir ‘n amazing vakansie.
Het gastehuis baie geniet. Baie vriendelik. Sal hulle weer besoek.
My ma het onlangs by Ambercrest gebly en praat steeds oor hoe gesellig en ontspanned haar verblyf was en ook hoe sy die leefarea met boeke en kunswerke geniet het! Die gashere is vriendelik en altyd beskikbaar en die tuin is pragtig en tropies! Lekkerste vakansie met heerlike ontbyt en salige rus!
Having never stayed in a B&B, I wasn’t sure of what to expect, but the friendliness and warmth that we were greeted and treated with was so lovely. We were made to feel completely at home, in a wonderful place that had all the amenities we could need and more, including a reading room with fascinating books and curios. Then in the morning we had a scrumptious home cooked breakfast that was made for us. This was really one of the best finds and stays we could have wished for!
Ons het so lekker gebly by Ambercrest! Die gasvryheid was iets besonders. Die ontbyt was elke oggend iets om na uit te sien! Ek sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly en enige iemand aanraai om daar te gaan bly!
Die kamers is in ‘n ou huis wat nog plankvloere het. ‘n Stort, toilet en wasbak is in ruim kamer aangebring. Die kamer was skoon en netjies en 100% vir my doel. Hierdie is nie ‘n 5 ster hotel nie (nie modern, geen lugreëling, ens.) maar daar kort niks in die geriewe nie. Ons het ‘n uitstekende ontbyt gekry en die gastehuis het ‘n lekker tuis atmosfeer. Vanaf die eetkamer en dek het jy ‘n mooi see-uitsig.
Ek was nie die een wat gebly het nie. My gas het die volgende gesê: “Dit is ‘n baie nice plek. Die eienaars is gasvry en die kos is heerlik. Dankie Ambercrest.”
I am a TACC member, and we have a church hall at Umgababa, so most of our event took place there, Ambercrest B&B is my home. I have two kids and my husband, it accommodate all of us because it is so spacious.
Sal Ambercrest aanbeveel vir enige iemand, baie rustige en veilige plek. Sal beslis weer daarheen gaan.
Baie lekker gebly en vriendelike diens ontvang.
My friends and me felt very very welcome at this wonderful calm place above Scottsburgh. Very nice and helpful hosts, great breakfast and a priceless sea view. Will come back for sure next year. Greetings from Germany.
Leon het moeite gedoen om ons te bederf, inligting oor omgewing was van groot hulp. Elke oggend se ontbyt was ‘n lekker verrassing en ons kon heerlik op die stoep sit en net ontspan. Kan Ambercrest met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.
Ek kan die B&B gerus aanbeveel vir ander mense.
Lieflike huis, besonderse ontbyt elke oggend. Netjies en skoon. Gasvry en gesellig. Die swembad was ‘n welkome lafenis in die hitte. Ons kon orals heen stap. Definitiewe “ja” vir volgende see-vakansie.
Die 5 sterre is nie genoeg om hierdie wonderlike plek te gradeer nie. Wens daar was meer sterre om te gee. Wonderlike gasvryheid. Mens kan nie anders as om heeltemal op ‘n mens se gemak te voel nie. Fantasties!
Geen moeite was te veel om ons verblyf uitstekend te maak nie.
Ons het baie welkom gevoel en ons is mooi verduidelik oor hoe alles werk. Ons was aanbeveel om ‘n paar plekkies te besoek en dit was wonderlik. Baie vriendelike mense en sal enige tyd weer daar bly. Ontbyt was ook iets om te onthou.
Ons het dit baie geniet, die selfsorg-eenheid was baie warm met die middagson wat op die vensters bak en die waaiers was onvoldoende. Ek sou graag lugversorging daar wou hê vir ‘n volgende keer. Hulle moet ‘n haardroër kry vir kliënte wat een benodig! Die swembad was ‘n heerlike lafenis.
Dankie Leon en Neels vir ‘n lekker paar dae.
Baie rustige atmosfeer met uitstekende gashere wat altyd gereed staan vir ‘n bietjie ekstra.
Baie netjiese kothuis. Leon en Neels is baie aangename, gasvrye persone. Die ligging is uitstekend. Dis baie veilig en rustig en sal Ambercrest aanbeveel en weer. Daar gaan bly.
Ek het net lof vir Ambercrest B&B & Self-Catering. Ons kan dit ten sterkste aanbeveel. Dit het in al ons behoeftes 100% voldoen. Dit was veel meer as wat ek verwag het, veral as jy die prys in ag neem. Die eienaars Leon en Neels het ons soos ou vriende behandel. Baie dankie aan hulle en Ambercrest B&B & Self-Catering vir ‘n vakansie wat nog lank in ons herinneringe sal bly voortleef.
Leon en Neels baie dierbaar, en laat jou tuis voel. Kan nie wag om weer te gaan. Lekker ontbyt met die lekkerste koffie.
Hier is ek ontvang met ope arms. My kamer was gereed, netjies en prentjiemooi. Ontbyt, wat ingesluit is by die prys, was uit die boonste rakke en die tafel mooi gedek op die veranda wat ‘n uitsig oor die see het. Die kamer word elke dag gediens en ek het behoorlik gerus. Baie dankie julle!
Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam, maar die ligging van die woonstel is nie baie gerieflik nie. Baie warm met geen wind nie.
