The Farmhouse B & B

Reviews

• "Farm house joyous stay"

  02 March 2020

  "The tranquility. Autonomy to do my things in my schedule and time. This was made possible by the owners. I was quickly put in the know about the water challenges. The were concerned about me not calling to share time of arrival or order supper. They were there to advise about places to eat later. I felt at home and in charge of my destiny. The prices were very reasonable and quick to resolve an over charge error I made when I was booking."

  "We could not have had better treatment anywhere. Bill and Melanie went out of their way to ensure the highest level of service.First the complimentary airport shuttle ready for us on arrival and ditto on departure, then taking us to the Translux coach terminal for a trip to Grahamstown and meeting us off it some days later at no cost to us, delivering excellent breakfasts to our suite, plus helpful reading material. They took a genuine personal interest in our welfare and needs. Highly recommended - and all at very competitive rates."

  "My husband and I found the personal attention given by Bill and Melanie exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed the farmhouse feel of the suite we stayed in. Its location is ideal, situated in the quiet suburb of Walmer it was great getting away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. It is also children friendly.I would recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Port Elizabeth who is looking for that extra bit of attention."

• "Value for money was outstanding - truly amazing!"

  15 March 2006

  "Thank you for the opportunity to enthuse unreservedly about the Farmhouse B and B. It is a truly delightful place to stay - very conveniently placed (a few minutes to the airport, a stone's throw to major access routes to various parts of the town) and in a pleasant suburban environment. The lovely spacious accommodation is a great treat - good sized bedroom, suitably separate fully-equipped bathroom, with a particularly well-designed shower. The open plan sitting room and well-equipped kitchen provide a real home from home atmosphere. The stairwell from the secure front door up to the attic apartment adds to the space and airiness. Heaters and fans are to hand if required. The decor is delightful, period pieces and ornaments create the impression of stability and being lived in. The linen etc are spotless and the overall impression is of a well maintained home. The reception was warm and welcoming, and the generous parking area is convenient to the accommodation. The breakfasts were superb and extremely generous and presented with warmth and friendliness, served in a charming dining room. Very pleasant background music, with the CD cover handy to enable us to see details of the tracks being played. Another indication of the care of the hosts was the appearance of an umbrella outside our door on a rainy morning, to ensure that the short walk to the dining room was perfectly dry. The service provided by safari now was very good and efficient, and the online booking and payment system worked perfectly."
