Beachwalk Bed and Breakfast

Beachwalk Bed and Breakfast is a ten-room guest house in a renovated heritage house at 1 Second Avenue, Summerstrand, 60 m from the beachfront at Hobie Beach. It is rated 4.8 out of 5 on LekkeSlaap from 51 reviews, with cleanliness and location each scored 4.9. Your host is Jackie, who has been welcoming guests through LekkeSlaap for 14 years. The rooms are doubles, twins, double plus rooms and one family room for four, sleeping 22 in all. Every room is en-suite and has its own private entrance and patio.

A full breakfast is included and is served in the dining room every morning. Rooms have DStv, a fridge, a microwave, tea and coffee and a fan. Solar panels with battery backup keep the power on during load shedding. There is a pool in the garden, along with Wi-Fi, a laundry service and secure off-street parking. For dinner, the restaurants at the Boardwalk Mall and Casino are a 300 m walk away, and the airport is 6 km away. The pool is unfenced, so children under six are not accepted. Rooms are non-smoking, but you can smoke on the outside patio.

LekkeSlaap reviewers talk about the hosts as much as the beach. One found it "Friendly and welcoming", with "a friendly owner who will take time to come and chat." Another wrote: "Good location. Very comfortable. Hosts were kind and accommodating." Check-in and check-out are not possible on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.
