Great cottage in a great location (close to Beach Rd, restaurants & hiways) with very responsive host. Good value for money.

A perfect little spot if you’re visiting East London! My parents really loved their stay in this peaceful location. Marilize’s place is perfectly located in Vincent, set in a beautifully tranquil and tree filled garden. The cottage is well equiped and super comfy ! We would definitely love to visit again !

As soon as you step in you feel at peace and relaxed, I immediately thought of extending our stay. Incredible host, amazing place. Worth more than the charge.

If you’re looking for a clean, well appointed room with a friendly host that genuinely cares, Marilize is ahead of the game.

When you’ve just driven 8 hours and you arrive at the property the greeting you receive from Marilize gives you energy and allows you to trust your host. The clean secure garage has space to park for even the most nervous of drivers. Out of the car and the friendly smile, the offer of assistance with bags and the relaxed yet professional approach immediately make you feel you’ve made the right choice for a one night stopover. Recently refurbished to a high standard Marilize has thought about the small things to make you feel comfortable. The personal introduction to your room, framed messages, and room facilities are on point, including a smart TV and guest access to Apps such as Netflix. When the inevitable power cuts, experienced in ZA, kick in Marilize has your breakfast covered with a quick trip to a local provider for great coffee, fresh juice and a breakfast bagel.
There was nothing we did not like about the property although we did have a couple of suggestions that we believed could improve the overall guest experience and what a pleasure to have a host genuinely listen and agree with some of your observations and suggestions.

Thank you James and Mari for making my stay home away from home. Your place is amazing, super clean, spacious, so peaceful. I miss your healthy breakfast and warm dinner.
Your warmth and smile made my stay the most enjoyable experience in East London. Much love to both of you.

What a beautiful stay and Marilize was such a great host. Quickly to respond and very helpfull. The room was big and spacious, great king size bed, lovely bedding, beautiful place and added bonus we informed Marilize that we have a 4 legged child that travels with us and informed her he is fully house trained, and he could tagg along. Thank you will most definitely be back again.

What a stunning spot! We had such a lovely time. The staff and hosts are excellent as they were friendly, readily available on arrival and easy to contact throughout our stay. The parking is in a secure garage and the room itself is private with the balcony that is a little haven nestled amongst tree branches, allowing for some beautiful bird sightings. The room is immaculately clean and tidy. Our stay was comfortable and when we were not out enjoying East London and the stunning surrounds, Netflix and WiFi were available. Highly recommend this beautiful place to stay.

Exceptional value for money. The host welcomed us with the warmest hospitality and immediately made us feel at home. We had booked the blue door for a one night stop over on our trip from Cape Town to Durban and this little nest gave us the rest we needed to complete our journey. The bed was super comfy with beautiful linen and all the finer details added to a refined touch. They have a beautiful garden with the biggest monsteras we have ever seen! For anyone looking for accommodation in East London we highly recommend it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
