Guest Reviews
“Thank you so much for the amazing time we spent at the cottage. The view, the bird life and being so close to the sea was breathtaking. Your kindness and friendly smiles and chats made us feel so welcome. We have been there 3 times already and have loved every visit. Definitely will visit again.”

"Lee and Colin’s place by the sea in Port Alfred is a real treat for both body and soul, this is the third time we have stayed here. In our opinion, the place has exactly everything you need for a nice relaxing stay, rustic, simple and very charming. A rare gem. Lee, Colin and their employee David are all helpful, sweet and nice people. We could have stayed for weeks, again. Thank you very much."

"This time around, we stayed for 5 nights.
As always, Colin & Lee are on hand to assist with any requirements.
The cottages are very private with amazing sea and beach views. The cottages are well equipped.
The Braai area and trash were cleaned daily.
We will definitely be back. Thank you.
PS: Our Kids had a great time."

"Go to sleep with the sound of the sea and see the sunrise above the horizon in the morning. We have just returned from the best holiday at Bretton Beach Cottages. Beautifully situated in the coastal dunes and within an easy walk down to the beach. One can explore among the rocks or go for walks along the sand. The cottages are well maintained, secure with comfortable beds and all you need for a self catering holiday. Thank you Colin and Lee."

"The cottage that we stayed in, had a beautiful sea view. The cottage was ideally equipped with everything that we needed. Despite the water shortage in Port Alfred, we were adequately supplied. The owners are friendly and welcoming, we were even given information regarding a place to enjoy the best fresh fish. The bird life, visible from the comfortable patio was incredible. This is an ideal place to stay if you are seeking to be close to the beach, in tranquil surrounds."
