We stayed one night in Port Alfred between Safaris. We enjoyed our night at Villa de Mer. Our Suite did not leave any wishes open, the bath is very big, new and exclusive. Our host was very friendly and helped us with all we needed and good Restaurant recommendation too. The breakfast was plentiful and because we could not eat... More

We chose Villa de Mer as a beach holiday for 2 nights to relax after flight(s) from UK. This certainly met our expectations with a wonderful position across from beach and 10 minutes walking distance along the beach to a restaurant overlooking the estuary. The Guest House was of an excellent standard, very friendly, very clean, modern and comfortable. Our... More

Enjoyed our brief one-night stay, R550 per person B&B. Welcoming hostess, spacious room with comfortable bed, nice bathroom, WiFi, good breakfast including fresh baked muffins! We stayed in room 2 - no view, but otherwise lovely room true to photos on website. Ocean is just over the dunes and there's a pool available, though we did not use it. Most... More

Well situated a thirty metre walk to the beautiful beach of Port Alfred - airy, well appointed, very private rooms with all the finishes that you need for utmost comfort. Memory is the ideal hostess, making sure that our every... More

More like a small 6 bedroom hotel than a B&B. Great friendly service that never seemed to intrude on your privacy. Superb location across the road from a blue flag beach. Nice comfortable rooms and bathrooms with free wifi. Nice pool for refreshing swim after a day on the beach. Well worth a stay.

We were very warmly greeted even though it was only a one night stay for us. We stayed in Suite 1 which I can only describe as 'gorgeous' and every bit as good as the photos on the website. The bathroom is beautiful. Unfortunately it rained hard whilst we were there so we didn't get to see much of the... More

My stay in Port Alfred was made really comfortable by Memory Robinson of the Villa de Mer B&B in Port Alfred. Situated a stones throw from the ocean, the sound of the surf is the last thing you remember before falling off to sleep. The guest house consists of six rooms and my room had an ocean view. It is...

I booked Villa de Mer for location (beach side of town, not too isolated) and for its 4* grading and size - this is really a small boutique hotel and I wanted some facilities and comfort after some simple travelling. Price for a dbl room in Jan 2012 was R450, which included: excellent quality breakfast, wi fi, swimming pool and... More

we stayed there (unfortunately only for one night) during our trip to the wild coast; the villa is a modern light-flooded house with stylish, clean and spacious rooms; the hosts incl. the dog are lovely and so nice. breakfast was very extensive so you don't need a lunch (you got eggs, bread, fruits, cereals, sausages etc) - incl. a visitor...
