The room was basic and clean. The service staff was great - very friendly and accommodating.
I understand the local water shortage and therefore no bathtub plug. It would have been nice to know ahead of time as we weren’t aware before arrival and our children wanted to bathe.
Additionally, the shower leaked all over the bathroom each time it was used.
Finally, the security spotlight shines directly into the room through the frosted glass in the front door. Please install a window shade for the door glass.
Overall we enjoyed the stay and hope our honest feedback will be acted on accordingly. We’d definitely stay again.
Thanks!
Nice room with balcony over garden, good breakfast, very secure premises with old world charm and gated parking. Can walk to beach through a track next to the house across the road. Close to restaurants and surf beaches. Friendly service. We were given a room upgrade so cannot comment on the standard rooms.
Comfy bed. Soft pillows. Help with case. Easy safe parking nice breakfast. I thought it faced the beach but there are houses opposite. Pretty garden an terrace at front.
We only had one night at the Mandyville Hotel, which met our expectations. The staff were friendly and helpful, giving many restaurant suggestions.
The room and bathroom were clean and well equipped- safe, free water, A/C etc.

Hi
Thank you for for choosing to stay at Mandyville Hotel.
We appreciate the kind words.
Hope to see you gain in the near future.
Kind Regards

Great little guesthouse. Very comfortable place and warm staff. Breakfast is cooked to order and nice dining space. The room and bathroom we're both large and well appointed. My only minor complaint would be the mini fridge is kinda noisy.
This B&B/Hotel was one in a number that my wife and I stayed in over a three week period travelling the Garden Route ........ it was the best!! From the reception we received on arrival by 'Michael' (I hope I've got his name right) to the decor in the large rooms and the breakfasts it was simply superb! The beach is nearby but the majority of bathers are in the town area which is just a short drive away. The pubs/restaurants in the town are all good (certainly the ones we experienced). t would be our intention to return to the Mandyville when we next visit South Africa so thank you for the seamless way you went about things and for delivering a great product.

Stayed one night in Jeffrey's Bay and Mandyville was a great choice. The hotel is on a quiet street just a short walk from the main strip of bars, restaurants and beaches. The room was spacious and beautiful with a whirlpool tub and outdoor seating.
The staff was extremely nice and helpful and cooked up a very good breakfast.
The hotel is on a quiet street a couple blocks from the beach, walkable to a terrific restaurant (Kitchen Windows). Breakfast was fine, staff helpful and the room was very comfortable.
Litet mysigt hotell med guesthousekänsla! Bra och personlig service. Bekväm parkering precis bredvid hotellet. Familjerummen var stora och bekväma men trist och trång uteplats omgiven av murar. Tyst och bra läge nära stranden.
Hotellet var helt ok men ligger en bit utanför stan, tog nog 15-20 minuter att gå in till centrum med restaurangerna. Rent och snyggt, bra frukost. Men den balkong som utlovats var för liten för att kallad balkong, där hade man inte fått plats med bord och stolar...
Vi hade det bra på hotellet. Lite små saker bara men överlag bra.

Liebe Quest
Es war ein absolutes Vergnügen, Sie im Mandyville Hotel willkommen zu heißen.
Eine so freundliche Gruppe von Leuten, die wir in Zukunft nicht mehr begrüßen können.
Ich hoffe, Sie haben den Rest Ihres Urlaubs genossen
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Schönes kleines Hotel in Strandnähe. Zimmer war sehr gross mit kleinem Balkon und grossem Bad mit Badewanne (Whirlpool) und Dusche. Alles sehr liebevoll eingdrichtet. Kleiner Nachteil ist, dass der Balkon zum Nachbarzimmer nicht richtig abgetrennt ist. Der Rezeptionist war sehr freundlich, hilfsbrreit und zuvorkommend hat uns viele Tipps gegeben. Wir würden hier jederzeit wieder buchen.

Hallo
Vielen Dank für die gute Bewertung des Mandyville Hotel.
Wir schätzen die freundlichen Worte.

schönes Hotel, leckeres Essen, man kann gut an den Strand/zum Dorfkern laufen. Wir hatten ein grosses Zimmer (gratis Upgrade) mit kleiner Küche, grosser Wanne im Bad und schönem Balkon. Ich würde jederzeit nochmals in dieses B&B.
It was a great, confortable hotel with very friendly and funny staff. We had a big and also warm breakfast included (omelettes, egg benedict, bacon, müsli, etc.) We had an upgrade for the booked room. A big mall is 10min away by car. Some little brand-shops (billabong...) are 5min away. Unfortunatly we stayed there just for 1 night.
Hotellets läge var perfekt för oss som bara stannande en natt. Promenadavstånd till beachen och restauranger. Mycket trevligt bemötande av personalen. Rent och fräscht rum på bottenplan med en egen liten terass mot trädgården.
