Overall Ratings & Reviews The Birdhouse

Excellent

The Birds House is in a lovely location for what we wanted to do visiting family and friends in the Gonubie ares. It was close to the beach and local restaurants. The staff were very helpful with recommending places to eat and get takeaways. 4 of us shared 2 twin rooms. The place was very clean and comfortable. One of shower rooms was a little tired and could have been spruced up. Clean towels every day was much appreciated. We felt safe and secure which was very important to our overseas companion, who had concerns about safety in South Africa. The use of free Wifi was essential to us to keep in contact with family and friends abroad. It was great to have a decent fridge even though it was only used for cool drinks and wine. The BBQ was large enough for both vegetarian and meat BBQs without upsetting anyone. I will go again.

The finishes undermine the charm of this place. The staff are really helpful and friendly, and breakfast was limited. Unfortunately the room I was in was very drafty which is a problem given the cold sea breeze that comes through there at night. Great place to get away and do nothing. No halaal food options at the venue or close by. Plumbing, as with most hotels, was less than effective.

Safe, shady neighbourhood for walking to nearby restaurants and pubs. Character house from another era. Had a corner room upstairs with a fresh through breeze. Large ensuite bathroom with roomy shower and a long bathtub with claw feet. Very quiet, good sleep.

A relaxing comfortable stay in a nice area, with a great breakfast.
