    Such an amazing place. I came from Dubai for a wedding. I stayed in Room number 2 it was nice and cozy and I felt like I had my own privacy. It was cold at night and it was so nice to have a heated blanket on the bed. The views were amazing and the hospitality even better. The owners made us feel like family. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know and I will happily stay here again. Thanks Blues team for the hospitality once again.

    Wow! What an amazing stay! More an hotel than a guesthouse. The food was excellent, extremely friendly and helpful staff, amazing views the rooms are out of a perfect holiday magazine. Just an amazing place to stay.

    Happiness is a real gem. Always friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for making my stay comfortable and easy. Love the peacefulness of this guesthouse. Love to watch the sun come up and the playfulness of the birds and the fish....the river is a bonus.

    The service was excellent, warm welcoming from sis Nothemba, she made me and my family feel at home. The view/ nature is to die for, the place is spotless clean (hygiene 👌)...their food is delicious, the whole staff is user-friendly. I really really love it there. I am definitely going back there on my next visit in East London.

    Owner(s) welcomed us with open arms, and saw to our every need. Very warm reception all around, and our WFH set-up was accommodated. The view of the lagoon/beach is just breath-taking on a sunny morning, and breakfast was served very speedily too. Few pointers: Add a hook or two in the showers Check that gate remotes all work Check that all TVs are in order

  • 5/5 Lufefe M. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked the place for a baby welcoming party. The facility was beautiful, with our section beautifully decorated and staff paid close attention ensuring we experience the best service. The food tasted real good, I'm sure all of us had seconds!

    Beach within walking distance, friendly staff and Fundiswa is just the best. Unbeatable view from the room and even better from the varanda. Oxtail was amazing..

    My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blues Guesthouse this past weekend, the room we were in was so clean and refreshing, the views are spectacular and the food is amazing! The staff are all friendly, especially Iviwe and Fundi who took real good care of us - they are true gems. I look forward to enjoying this spot on occasions to come.

    Great stay

  • 2/5 Brendon V. 4 years ago on Google
    We stayed in room 2. Situated In the parking area at the entrance gate. Not the nicest room in the facility. There are other rooms that are much nice. Had dstv in the room and small kitchen. Breakfast was good, however at lunch the empty coffee sachets where still on the table. Tables not wiped down properly, generally a little dirty. Braai area was not cleaned once over our 3 day stay.

  • 4/5 Niel CJ F. 4 years ago on Google
    Beach style cozy - beautiful views. Out of city experience

  • 5/5 Masande M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Natasha M. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I decided to sleep over in EL unexpectedly after our road trip. It was already late at night when we booked at blues. When we arrived the staff welcomed us so well and place was clean. There’s a lady named Primrose I think, she honestly has good customer service. Only dissapointing thing was that our shower didn’t have a door so there was water all over after showering. Otherwise overall good experience.

  • 5/5 Merry V. 1 year ago on Google
    Our overnight stay was lovely. Our only regret was we couldn’t stay another night. The guesthouse keeper’s name was Happiness and she was pure joy and the best cook. The room, the view, the breakfast all was wonderful; the homemade lemon loaf was so yummy and breakfast was made by order and delicious. The price was extremely reasonable. The stay was lovely but too short.

  • 5/5 Sasha B. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff were awesome, especially Happiness. We were greeted with welcome drinks and friendly smiles. The service was fabulous and views did not disappoint. Dinner could have been a bit better for what we paid, but overall it was really value for money and in a stunning location!

  • 5/5 Rianna van E. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning venue, awesome food and beautiful views! Rooms clean and beautifully decorated.

  • 5/5 Kedibone M. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was very good, and our stay was so relaxing. I also really liked the amenities and the price I paid was absolutely worth it! The staff especially Primrose was really kind and willing to attend any request. I will definitely recommend Blues guest lodge to all my colleagues, family and friends. Thanks once more

  • 5/5 Nicole O. 2 years ago on Google
    The whole place felt warm and cozy, the food was amazing... Happiness and Prim were absolute stars and very helpful/caring when it came to making sure our stay was one to remember. The views were breath taking and the room was beautiful, I felt at home right away.

  • 5/5 Oyena B. 1 year ago on Google
    The rooms were good, the service was great and the view was perfect and exciting

  • 2/5 Kokela S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very unsanitary room as the carpet, sink and shower were dirty. I changed to another room that had a filthy kettle, the bin had not been emptied as evidenced by fruit peels and empty coffee and sugar sachets from previous guests. There was a mound of fine sand by the door due to burrowing by ants that the ladies who checked me in did not clean,visible as it was. The TV was not working and the lady who came to assist could not get it right, despite her best efforts but she helped clean the sand by the door. I cancelled my stay and slept for one night instead of two and battled to get my refund from them and had to escalate the matter to the booking platform I had used. Kudos to hotel.com for their efficiency in having the matter resolved!! Their only selling point is breakfast and location but cleanliness is not their strong point.

  • 5/5 Trevor K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience. We had a breath taking view of the Nahoon River and Indian Ocean from our elegant and spacious room. I would recommend booking the all day Private Jacuzzi which looks over the river or just relaxing on the swings or pool watching over the river after a long days work or holidaying. Truly you get more than just a room to come back to at the end of the day. Super friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Adrian de J. 1 year ago on Google
    When you get there you are warmly welcomed into the facility. Happiness is an absolute blessing and goes out of her way to accommodate you as guest. The views are amazing and the rooms are comfortable and clean. The food is great and definitely recommended. I will definitely be back on my next trip.

  • 5/5 Lehlohonolo K. 1 year ago on Google
    What I did not like is the owner opening our rooms with out informing us and that he will be having guests coming to view the rooms....... I felt uncomfortable with that But the food and services👌those aunties have good hospitality skills

  • 5/5 Margaret R. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn't stay at Blues Guest House. I went to a 90th birthday lunch there. Everything was tip top, venue, service and an excellent lunch was gad by all 30 guests. Will definitely visit again.

  • 3/5 Amelia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Last minute booking, lucky to get a room. Large modern bathroom. No dstv only etv channels. Looks like owner lives off site. Staff seems to be managing everything. Very kind and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Mark S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing view, amazing rooms, breakfast is out of this world! The owners are very friendly, and the staff are always happy to assist with a smile. A truly little paradise.

    Friendly service and great Breakfast. Just a shame that some other guests appeared to had a food fight in the eating area. Staff did clean up quickly and I enjoyed my breakfast in a clean area.

  • 4/5 Lerato S. 3 years ago on Google
    We were on holiday for first time in a long time and we enjoyed our stay, Well done to Happiness and the team for making our stay so comfortable, Anton and Donna have a good team. The beach, the breakfast, the pool for our girls and the views just made our stay. Just one thing to note our kettle in our room did not work and the bathroom door needed to be fixed!! Thanks and hope to see you again when in EL! Lerato Sitole and family.

    I like everything about this place The hospitality everything was on point thanks blues guesthouse

  • 3/5 Andre Van S. 4 years ago on Google
    Booked for b day breakfast. Non staying guests need to park out side the premises. No greeting or orientation was done on how the breakfast works. At one stage we all thought its just the bread and cream cheese. Keep you breakfast table simpler. To many odd things that don't go together. Just try, Cheese, bread, ham, butter, muffins, yogurt and fruit. Then serve your preplated food afterwards. Explain to the guests or put up a sign that plated food is being prepared as they sit down.

    Its nice wawooo

  • 5/5 David T. 4 years ago on Google
    A real gem right here under our noses here in East London. Booked for a party of 5 and we each had our own room. From great rooms to great hospitality and with awesome views I'd definitely recommend Blues Guesthouse to anybody. Again thank you to Blues Guesthouse for a superb stay and hospitality. Really felt like home.

  • 5/5 Nthabiseng M. 4 years ago on Google
    Do not rely on the pictures, go there yourself cos the picture do not do this place justice!!! It is way more gorgeous and serene than what you see. River views, literal walk to the beach which is practically private during weekdays. My work trip felt like a vacation. Beautiful establishment, really good staff. I'm happy

  • 3/5 Sakkie Du P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mahlare M. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, owners and place close to the beach. I recommend this place anytime

  • 5/5 Silumko K. 4 years ago on Google
    Appart from the breath taking Scenary that sets over the lagoon, let alone the world class level of their rooms which carry a sense of comfort, elegence and a home-like feeling, what dropped my Jaw was the Excellency and Warm Heartedness of the lady that was handling my crew and I. It would be a great injustice if I don't mension her by name: Thank You Dimples!!! You were the cherry ontop in ensuring that our stay there was nothing shot of Excelency!! Only few people are realy cut for the Hospitality business and you are part of the few. You deserve a Bonus or a Raise or a Bellz! Keep up the good work!

  • 5/5 Okuhle p. 4 years ago on Google
    I just want to say thank you for the beautiful and outstanding service throughout our stay past weekend, food was amazing, Dimples thank you very much you are such an awesome person, with you I’ll come back to Blues because of your care and a warm and welcoming spirit! Thank you thank you thank you, definitely sure i am coming back soon....

  • 5/5 Eugene J. 4 years ago on Google
    A lovely spot in Beacon Bay, currently under renovation, but the views and animal lfie make up for that, especially with the short walk to a long soft sand beach and lagoon perfect for fishing and swimming.
