Reviews of The Harbour Masters House

James
The rooms at The Harbour Masters House are individually furnished, and the cozy vibe made me feel right at home. The comfy bedding was a dream come true for a tired traveler like me.
Personally, I would have preferred a private bathroom instead of a shared one. But hey, that's just me!

stayed at a beautiful Victorian house in PE, way better than expected. Sam and Sue were amazing hosts, helping with any request. Grateful to the ladies who ironed laundry and prepared breakfast. Everyone was so friendly and even walked me to the supermarket to ensure safety.

The Harbour Masters House is a cozy sanctuary that feels like a home away from home. The individually furnished rooms offer a warm and inviting atmosphere, making me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. The premium bedding ensured a good night's sleep, and the communal living room was a great place to unwind and connect with other guests. The complimentary wireless Internet access was a convenient perk for staying connected during my travels.
Personally, I would have preferred a private bathroom instead of the shared bathroom setup. But hey, that's just my preference, and I understand that some people may not mind it at all.

The Harbour Masters House exceeded my expectations in every way. The premises were clean and original, with flawless Mediterranean-style buildings. I felt extra safe with police patrolling the area, allowing me to walk without fear. The views from the house were breathtaking, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The diverse mix of guests from around the world made it a great opportunity to make new friends. The staff, especially Anastasia, were incredibly kind and made my stay extra special. The location was safe and the historic building added to its charm.
I felt well taken care of and have no complaints.

I keep coming back to this place because it has it all: free Wi-Fi, parking, laundry and a TV room. The staff even helped me with taxi tips on my first visit. Perfect for my business trips.

My stay at the Harbour Masters House was truly amazing. The beautiful Victorian building with high ceilings and fireplaces in the rooms added a touch of elegance. The room I stayed in exceeded my expectations and was even better than the pictures. The view from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking. The receptionist was friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The location was convenient, with easy access to all the places I wanted to visit. it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
It would have been better if the bathroom facilities were not shared, especially for those who prefer privacy. Additionally, the kitchen area could have been more welcoming and better equipped.

We had an incredible stay at Island Vibe in Gqeberha! The staff was amazingly friendly and made us feel safe and welcomed throughout our trip. They even walked us to the supermarket to ensure our safety. The cleanliness of the property was top-notch, with well-maintained bedding and kitchen supplies. The views from the house were breathtaking, and we had the chance to meet people from around the world, making potential international and Xhosa friends. The combination of people in Gqeberha and the warm hospitality of the locals truly made our stay unforgettable.
Nothing at all! Everything about our experience was excellent!

Beds were well done and comfortable. Beautiful views from the house.- Convenient location near key attractions
Lack of communication and explanation during check-in. Inconvenience of having to go to the basement for additional showers.

I had a spontaneous trip to Gqeberha and it turned out to be amazing! The city was incredibly clean and felt very safe. The Mediterranean-style buildings were beautiful and added to the charm. The views from the hotel were breathtaking and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff, especially Anastasia, were incredibly kind and made my stay extra special. I also loved meeting people from around the world and experiencing the kindness of the Xhosa people. If you want to relax and enjoy the ocean, this is the place to be.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.
