"The place has a great view of the ocean, but the rooms are disappointing for the price you pay as there are none of the regular items you'd expect, such as a microwave or ice trays. There is a notice in the room that all kitchen items have been removed due to fire hazards, but all the other places we went to simply upgraded to improve their safety and still provide guest with the needed items.
Though a decent sized TV was int he room, the hotel selected a poor satellite provider that's...

"Very friendly and attentative staff, room has what you need, and spacious.
Location is great!
Some positive critique to work on (room 24):
- We were in a street facing room, so there was noice from the street.
- Cold water tap needs to be attended to … seems like no water and then all of a sudden a gush of it.
- mattrasses can be opgraded/replaced, is very thin. (Bedding is very nice) "

"The staff was excellent! Ricardo, Monique, Zimasa, Christo, Furlin, Thando were extremely helpful with anything that our party of 8 needed. Well done Protea King George. "
"Great stop off point on the Garden route. Hotel had great views across the ocean and nearby town and close enough to amenities to have a social gathering wander across to them. Room immaculate with great facilities. "
"I do not make a habit of writing reviews. For me to do so means that something has either fallen well short of an expected standard or has far exceeded them. This review falls into the latter.
I Spent two nights at this property in September 2025 (suite 6).
If you want to know what a 5-star boutique offering should look like then this is the exemplar.
The interior design and overall finish on the property is superb. Some absolutely exquisite art works and pieces of furniture are complemented by some relevant and inspirational sporting memorabilia. Just stand at the back of the guest lounge area, look out over a stunning seascape and drink in the sheer elegance and finesse of this place.
There are so many additional features including the excellent quality of complementary snacks, drinks and toiletries and the provision of beach chairs and towels. However, it’s more than simply just the provision of beach towels, more it’s the way in which they are presented. Not just laid out on a chair or table but carefully rolled and placed into a wicker carrier that is easily transportable onto the beach. It’s just those simple, classy examples of attention to detail that lifts Beach Villa to another level. Absolutely superb. Thank you.
