    15 January 2018

    "neat except for shower - moldy, not cleaned properly. Great assistance from reception. Good value for money. Could incorporate a communal swimming pool."

    03 January 2018

    "The unit was nice and clean, but would like to bring the following under the owner's attention:Faded linen (old) needs replacement - double bed mattress needs replacement - one single bed is missing two bottom legs (sleeping downhill) - single bed headboards is loose, keeps on falling over. No running hotwater in the upstairs basin"

  • "A night at Settler Sands"

    25 February 2016

    "The place is run down, impersonal and unhygienic, with a stink from the bathroom. I took pictures of the bathroom and balcony. The bed was old/cheap and uncomfortable, and hurt my back. It was really not what I hoped for. And the "bring own bath towels, dish washing liquid, dish cloth ": I honestly thought it was a joke. For that price, really it was a dismal disappointment. We could not stay another night.<div>The only thing that was good about it was the location : right next to the beach. It was an anticlimax going back to the room though. I really was not happy.</div>"

  • "Settler Sands - Disappointing"

    29 December 2014

    "Utterly disappointed at the unit we were given. Although it was clean, the facilities were old, really outdated and not at all welcoming. I wont book here again."

  • "Very nice.. BUT!"

    24 March 2014

    "As a family we were very happy with all that was on offer, accommadation was good, setting awesome, but then the sun goes down and all hell breaks loose in the car park across the road, and what was to be a relaxing weekend turned into long hours awake trying to get police to come and disperse drunken party goers and loud music, I know this is not the fault of Settler Sands, but it is on their doorstep, and they should attend to this to avoid future visitors enduring the same. This will surely spoil what is otherwise an awesome holiday place."

  • "Best ever"

    19 December 2013

    "Have the best stay ever."

  • "So much potential...!"

    06 September 2012

    "We recently stayed at Settler's Sands - what a lovely location with amazing see views and a step away from the beach and the river. Unfortunately our accomodation was disappointing in that whilst the unit had everything we needed it felt run-down, unclean and a bit old! There is so much potential in the unit and it could do with a revamp."

  • "Excellent"

    17 March 2012

    "Excellent well equipped accommodation in a very nice location."

  • "Settler Sands Unit 15"

    30 December 2011

    "We enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was a bit rundown and therefore it doesn't feel very clean. The carpets need a wash, and there was a urine smell in the upper part of the duplex. My daugter (adult) slept in the 2nd bedroom. The beds are meant for children and the mattresses are of very poor quality. There were 2 thin worn matresses on the bed."

  • "Great"

    03 May 2011

    "Our stay at Settler Sands was more than wonderful - we cannot wait to go back. The accommodation was wonderful. The place was so neat it felt like a home away from home. This was really value for money and I would recommend this place to anyone."

  • "Lovely"

    "This accommodation offers lovely views and a good location."

  • "Great!"

    23 April 2009

    "Its was very enjoyable and comfortable. you guys are doing well."

  • "Super accommodation"

    16 April 2009

    "We visited Port Alfred from 5 April to 12 April 2009. The accommodation was super, in the sense of size, cleanliness and comfortable with a balcony and build-in braai. Except for not having a full sea view, we could not want for a better spot as we were right on the beach and next to the river, with a restaurant just across the road.We also enjoyed boating on the river and canal, and visited the Fish River Sun, East London, Bathurst, and went horse riding for an afternoon in a reserve.In general we appreciated the laid back atmosphere, the exceptional scenery and the fact that it was not so congested with holidaymakers, even though it was Easter Holidays. We'll be back!"

  • "Good value fr money"

    11 August 2008

    "We were 12 adult males on agolf tour. The accommodation was comfortable, but the double bunks were too close to each other to allow an adult male enough space. I would have liked to have had the three chalets next to each other. Otherwise, excellent accommodation and good value for money.Thanks, "
