    I chose to stay at a bnb at the most affordable package I could find since all I wanted was literally a bed and breakfast. Found this little gem of a place. Rates are incredibly reasonable- full disclosure was here in October - but I cannot find fault even at my super low budget level. Breakfast was well done, room super comfortable and though I couldn’t see the sea (budget room remember?) who cares when it’s three minutes down the road? TL;DR - yes, stay here at any level of your choice and have a brilliant time

    A home away from home when you spend days on the road and the owners are not only spunky, they are also some of the best East Londoners i have come across over the years!! Try them, you have absolutely nothing to loose!!

    My experience at Crowned Crain Apartments was exceptional. Friendly service. Neat, well kept place. All the usual requirements were available in the apartment, without having to ask. I travel allot and stay at many places and so far this has been one of the best. The view of the sea from the apartment balcony is breathtaking as well as the beach below. This place is definitely a home away from home. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay on the beachfront in East London👍👍👍😄😄😄

    The bathroom is very out dated. Need to be revamped. Not enough parking on the property. The location is clean, seems safe and in an upmarket suburb. Close proximity to the beach.

  • 5/5 Chris van N. 8 months ago on Google
    The Crowned Crane is very well priced, and it is in an excellent location close to the supermarket, beach, and restaurants. Staff is extremely friendly, and my room was serviced every day. An extra bonus was the fact that they had solar backup for loadshedding. I will definitely revisit Crowned Crane.

    We had a great 3 day stay. Except for the weather it was well worth it. Taking walks on the private beach and picking up sea shells with the little one. Walking distance from restaurant's, beach ect. Very friendly staff and would definitely stay there again. Loved our room and is quiet and safe. Thanks Shani & Jennifer. We'll see you again soon :)

    If you are looking for awesome and affordable business or holiday accommodation, look no further! Situated right across the road from an unspoilt sandy beach, a stones throw from convenience stores and restaurants, the Crowned Crane offers all the conveniences and undivided attention you would expect from a BnB.

    A home away from home

  • 5/5 Magdalena Lenie L. 4 years ago on Google
    The Crowned Crane is definitely a B&B we'll return to.First if all,the building is well looked after and you can't miss it.We we're greeted,by one of the friendly owners and taken to our family unit.She gave me her number,should we have a problem.We had the room with the double bed,with the best matress,I ever slept on!One wall full of wardrobes.The next room had 2 large sized single beds and there was also one,in the lounge area.Everything was clean and in using condition,as well as decorated tastefully.Bar-area and well equipped kitchen, with complimentary coffee,sugar,ect.The bathroom is tiled and it has a nice big shower.We had enough bedding and towels, bedside table lots if plugs.On the outside,there is a builded braai,but also a portable one, at the unit.They have a laundry room and the ladies can iron/press your clothes.We gave her a few Rand,for her effort,but I don't think,payment for this part,is mandatory.You need to pay her R25 per time,if you want her to clean your kitchen though.It is a safe spot and they have security patrolling,on foot,at night.The sea shore,is within walking distance where you can catch some fish,make a potjie,or just enjoy the fresh sea-air.This place is a absolute must,whether you want to go as a family,or a group,or newly weds,single,in/out of season,at very affordable,competitive prices.Shops and restaurants (outside this B&B)close by.Do yourself the biggest favor and book your next stay at Crowed Crane...

  • 5/5 Natalie L. 4 years ago on Google
    What an awesome place to stay! The outside chalets are fantastic and kitted out with all you need. It has a little chill area and a braai, and its so nice to wind down there after a long day. The hosts are friendly and accommodating and no ask is too big. The guest house is just opposite from a great quiet beach, so daily beach walks, beach play, beach chilling is on your doorstep. Breakfast is awesome too! Thank you Crowned Crane for such a great stay always!
