"Room is clean and spotless but reeks of chlorine or some detergent the whole time"
"We booked in short time notice, looking at the high numbers, but not at the last the reviews, which afterwards seemed quite bad"
"Fantastic service with facilities that have a modern and sleek aesthetic"
"Our room did not have wifi! We were shocked and disappointed to find a cement floor which also rendered the place cold but the heaters the host provided was very useful"
"Staff was not friendly at all did not greet nothing"
Room is clean and spotless but reeks of chlorine or some detergent the whole time. Self catering definition means I should be able to cook my own meals so a 5 liter microwave and kettle is your complete kitchen setup I had booked apartment 2 but was told to move into apartment 1 without reasoning why and I'm looked at like I'm an idiot for asking why but hey you already received your payment before I even arrives so why bother explaining anything. No aircon and no fan and after begging the cleaner to try arranging a fan she went to remove 1 from another apartment. Nobody asked how our stay was except now till after we had left i mean it's a bit late once we are already done its like a waiter asking how your meal is after you done eating it. The shower and toilet is great with good water pressure and temperature I must admit that the bed provides a medium to hard mattress but overall good sleep. The whole place was locked up entirely as I didn't want anyone besides the cleaners inside the place once we were out Saturday and when arriving back the bathroom window was left wide open allowing any of the other guests or access once past the back gate. Kitchen utensils are quite limited . Wifi is terrible to use data rather I use Google reviews to provide actual feedback and prefer not giving establishments feedback as the best interest of keen vacation seekers need actual experiences not one sided views on web pages of service provides Lastly considering all guesthouses and pricing on helderberg this would still fall under value for money I may consider spending R500 a night extra for a more comfortable establishment.But for a casual stopover this would be perfect
We booked in short time notice, looking at the high numbers, but not at the last the reviews, which afterwards seemed quite bad. Nevertheless, we were positiv surprised. We did not stay in the main guest house, which looks a little dark, but in a room next to the road. In the room we noticed that we were seperatzed from the adjourning room only by a thin door, and so we could hear everything, what was said next to us. Also, everyone could easily get into our room, from the next room. But luckily, the neighbours become quit during the night. The room was small, but had coffee maker and fridge, bathroom was clean, towels and soap ok. If you trust the neighborhood, you can park the car right in front of your door, which makes transfers from and to the car easy. Staff was very friendly, breakfast is offred. The guesthouse seems to gather more for long time guests. Disliked · Too close to the neighbours, if you want to have privacy.
Fantastic service with facilities that have a modern and sleek aesthetic. Loved the location that allows a stroll on the beach within walking distance. Had the pleasure of staying at Loddeys Guest House while on business and my experience here turned out to be an unexpected highlight for the entire trip. Certainly plan on returning for a vacation at the first possible chance!

Our room did not have wifi! We were shocked and disappointed to find a cement floor which also rendered the place cold but the heaters the host provided was very useful. Fortunately I brought my fleece blankets. We were also so cautious about the slippery untiled floor in the shower.I wished there was a small table in the bathroom/ bedroom to put my toiletry bag as the only mirror is in the bathroom. Othewise, we had a nice getaway.
Staff was not friendly at all did not greet nothing. They were supposed to clean our self catering apartment but end up not doing it for 2 days had to beg for clean towels,water was constantly off when wanting to bath our fridge did not work at all and they wasn't bothered by it . Did not enjoy my stay.

Upon arrival Johan was very welcoming. He offered me different rooms to choose from and was very accomodating. The breakfast was amazing and rooms are clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The outside shared area is great for relaxing after having your breakfast. Thank you very much for making our stay memorable

Me and my mom stayed over for one night at Loddeys Guest House. This is a very special place - I felt at home away from home, what a beautiful place!!! Johann thank you so much for your hospitality. You inspired me so much...you are an amazing person. My husband and I will definitely stay over at your place when we visit in Strand again. Kind regards - Sonet Swanepoel
Situated near to the sea. Beautiful interiors. Rooms lovely with shower. Laps area around a quaint pool. Ambiance really quite and lovely. The dining area overlooks the laps and pool. Breakfast is divine. From coffee to cereals fresh fruit, yogurt and then your plate of bacon eggs toast mushrooms etc. A must stay in the Strand area.
What a lekker plekkie to stay. Close to the beach and shops. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts is good!

My card was stolen and a booking was made under my name for 7 rooms. I informed the property as soon as I was made aware and they just took my money and are not replying to my emails. Money is more important to them than customer service

My son, my dad and myself stayed at Loddey's guest house, and loved everything about it! You walk in and it feels homey! Then you are greeted by friendly staff, beautiful rooms, delicious breakfast&coffee and then the outside area was so
The BEST hosts EVER!!! The atmosphere is prizeless, the cleanliness AWESOME, Belinda, bringing a 'hot tjoklit and a warmwater sak' to the room amazing! EVERYTHING about Loddeys Guest House is just great! Love you guys Johan and Stuart!!!
Friendly people. Thank you to you Johan and his team for making my stay pleasant. It felt like home when I stayed with you. Not too far from the beach if you want to go for a walk. I will be back and can recommend you to anyone.
The Self catering units are not as it looks on the pictures.. in fact its noisy, small, not private and not very pleasant overall. Parking is also not secure, but on street basically on a very busy and noisy corner.
Prices are reasonable. Only thing was there was no air-conditioning as I was dying of the heat. Very friendly. Very helpful. Not bad.
