Mandalay Beach Guest House

Lovely stay home away from home. Felt very welcomed.

The owner Mark is a great guy and very much involved in the running of the guest house. He was very attentive and helped with info about the area. The breakfast was special made and the cleaners and staff were very friendly never hesitating to help. The room was very clean and the bed soft. We had our own BBQ at the pool one day sipping away at our bottle of wine and enjoying the blauwberg air. Food was great. Facilities great. I'll be visiting again for sure.

A fantastic experience. The facilities were top-notch with everything I needed to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The owner were friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. The breakfast was a particular highlight with a great selection of delicious food. The a**osphere of the hotel was also very nice and warm. The hotel's location was also excellent, with easy access to the beaches and the centre of Cape Town. Overall, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay with excellent facilities and a convenient location.

Great as always!

The hotel is located in a quiet side street in Bloubergstrand, yet stores, restaurants and the beach are within walking distance. The rooms are clean, well maintained and fully equipped. The garden invites you to linger, and a pool and loungers are also available. The friendly service, fast WiFi, the rich breakfast and the helpfulness of the owner leave an all-around positive impression. The well-stocked minibar, which offers a wide selection of drinks and snacks at really very reasonable prices, is also a real plus. The guest house does not have an emergency power supply. During the currently quite frequent power outages in Cape Town ("load shedding"), one sits in the dark, without TV and WiFi.

The breakfast was below standard. The staff member was unqualified when it came to friendliness. Language barrier between chef and guests. The owner was pleasant. The per night rate incl breakfast was well overcharged. It was a double bed but was charged Per person rate. Out of season rates on top of it. The accommodation should not have the word Beach as the beach was miles away. There was no sea view either. The parking area was not easily accessible especially when you have a Sudan or any SUV. Security was brilliant.

The place is very neat, clean and well maintained. The owners are friendly and helpful. The stay made one feel like being at home away from home. I also thought the refreshments in the room are a great touch especially after a long working day...I'd gladly stay there again.

Thanks Sharl and Jeni for hosting old ladies like us we feel at home. We enjoy your company for taking care of us, with your beautiful place and nice garden. The rooms were clean and comfortable the breakfast was 100% good. Coming with my family next time. Love you guys and care and be blessed.

Hosts were friendly. Accommodation was not up to our standards. Garden beautiful, however the bedrooms, bathrooms and communal areas requires upgrade and maintenance. Breakfast was restricted from 07:30 - 09:30. During December holiday, guests prefer to have breakfast opened until 10:30. The hosts did try to accommodate on some days. Hosts was always present, and we found the camera's invaded our family space in the communal areas. Leading sliding doors to garden was armed at 20:00 during the holiday's, noted security was a concern, however felt that hosts could have arranged to armed doors a little later to allow guess to use the garden and table for smokers.
