    There was nothing not to like.

    The place looked exactly like the pics so we got what we wanted. We took a jog around Gonubie just to explore on foot and it was very beautiful.

    Nothing,

    I had a family emergency, when we arrived, so we did not visit the area. But the staff is amazing, friendly and filled with the Spirit of the God. They offered support, showed concern and even prayed with me, as my spouse had to hospitalized. Much blessing to Daisy, Stella, Benita and team.

    disappointed by the unexpected charge of R600 for our 18-month-old baby. This was a first for us, as most establishments allow young children to stay for free.

    Review for Benri Guesthouse, Gonubie We recently stayed at the Benri Guesthouse in their penthouse, and overall, we had a pleasant experience. The views of the ocean were stunning, and we particularly enjoyed the well-equipped braai room, which made for a fantastic family gathering spot. The daily room service was exceptional, with everything cleaned thoroughly and towels replaced regularly, making our stay comfortable and hassle-free. However, we were disappointed by the unexpected charge of R600 for our 18-month-old baby. This was a first for us, as most establishments allow young children to stay for free. Despite this, we appreciated the overall experience and would like to thank Benri Guesthouse for a memorable stay. Our family truly enjoyed every moment in the penthouse.

    nothing to dislike

    The view was spectacular from room 2 and in the penthouse its even beter. The hosts was very accommodating and freindly. Always their to help and assist with anything and everything we needed. I will recommend it to anybody and everyone that wants to visit Gonubie for a good rest holiday. The rooms get cleaned everymorning and fresh linen and towels are provided. House keeping is excellent. We had a wonderfull holiday.

    In the room we were in - The glass doors means that you can see the people in the next room and vice versa but the work around is to pull your curtains so no big deal.

    Beautiful place and well located. The room was spacious and comes with a mini kitchen. Breath taking views of the sea from the balcony. Would definitely recommend.

    There was music playing early in the morning which was a bit disruptive.

    The host was friendly and accommodating . We made a last minute reservation and we received a warm and friendly welcome. The rooms were spotless. Bed was comfortable with fresh white linen. Lovely sea views as well.
