Excellent. A beautiful location with a view across the ocean. Super comfy beds. The room was well-equipped with coffee, cookies, and fruit. Mark was a delightful host: friendly and engaging. Restaurants are a quick pop across the road, and the food at Shakies, Sitar, and the cafe opposite Pam Golding were all superb. Fijnbos Manor is definitely on my "Return To" list! (Breakfast was good, but was R110, not as priced on the website (R79). In retrospect, would have gone back to the cafe for something special instead.)

Lovely old house with view of ocean. We were desperately looking for accommodation and the friendly host assisted us immediately. Lovely large room and bathroom. Could enjoy the view from the stoep! I can recommend Fijnbos Manor.

A well-earned weekend break. Thank you all. My partner was impressed with the breakfast. We will come back again. We loved the place.

Hello William, thank you for the positive feedback. It's immensely gratifying when my right hand man, your namesake, William and I receive such encouraging reviews. Fijnbos Manor remains a tranquil coastal escape, sandwiched between the majestic mountains of the Overberg and the ocean. Regards, John Boyes

Hallo Willem, dankie vir die positiewe terugvoer. Dit is geweldig verblydend as ek en my regterhand, jou naamgenoot, William en ek sulke bemoedigende resensies ontvang. Fijnbos Manor bly 'n rustige kuswegbreek, ingeklem tussen die majestueuse berge van die Overberg en die see. Groete, John Boyes

Quality stay at Fijnbos Manor. I have had the opportunity to meet the owner as I booked in and he immediately made me feel welcome and at home. They are still in the process some repairs / upgrading the building and from what I could see, Fijnbos Manor will definitely become a popular destination. The owner def have an eye for detail and think the lodge will be beautiful once completed. The lodge is situated in such a perfect spot, easy access to the beach, local pub where the locals were just as friendly and inviting as at the lodge.

Warm welcome, friendly and approachable host, helpful staff, homely atmosphere. Fijnbos is very accommodating to reasonable requests from guests, making guests feel very much at home there.

Hartlike ontvangs, vriendelike en toeganklike gasvrou en -heer, behulpsame personeel, huislike atmosfeer. Fijnbos is baie akkommoderend vir redelike versoeke vanaf gaste, wat gaste daar baie tuis laat voel.

It was very pleasant. We got a warm welcome. The safety is visible, not only for you but for the cars as well. The people are friendly and make you feel right at home. I would anytime recommend the place to other guests as well. You also have a privilege to be able to get the early sea breeze.

Dit was baie aangenaam. Ons het 'n warm ontvangs gekry. Die veiligheid is sigbaar, nie net vir jou nie maar vir die motors ook. Die mense is vriendelik en laat jou sommer tuis voel. Ek sal enige tyd die plek aanbeveel vir ander gaste ook. Jy het ook 'n voorreg om die vroeë see breeze te kan kry.

Good location with lots of potential but needs upgrading. Don't feel you get value for money at all, quite the opposite. Unenthusiastic assistant with reception, no information regarding No "loadshedding" (twice in one day), no matches or lighter for two mancolic candles. Front door does not stay closed unless it is locked. Shower is in the bath - very "fancy" shower head, but water control knob is broken. Entire bathroom is stuck in the 70s. Breakfast was extra - but they advertise as B&B? Photo of room is accurate, but very smart of Fijnbos not to include the bathroom in the photos!

Goeie ligging met baie potensiaal, maar kort opgradering. Voel glad nie mens kry waarde vir geld nie, absoluut die teenoorgestelde. On-entoesiastiese assistent met ontvangs, geen informasie t.o.v. "Loadshedding" nie (twee keer op een dag), geen vuurhoutjies of aansteker vir twee mankolieke kerse nie. Voordeur bly nie toe tensy dit gesluit is nie. Stort is in die bad - baie "fancy" stortkop, maar water-stelknop is gebreek. Hele badkamer is in die 70's vasgevang. Ontbyt was ekstra - maar hulle adverteer as B&B? Foto van kamer is akkuraat, maar baie slim van Fijnbos om nie die badkamer in te sluit in die fotos nie!

Accommodation met needs. When you book for bed and breakfast it is generally accepted that you pay for the whole experience and that breakfast is included in the price. In this case, the price of R100 for breakfast (quite excessive) was not included in the price. There was also no mention on the website that breakfast was not included in the price per night. If I had been aware of that, I would have looked at other possibilities that did include breakfast. Travelers must determine in advance whether or not breakfast is included.

Verblyf het voldoen aan behoeftes. Wanneer 'n mens bespreek vir bed en ontbyt word dit algemeen aanvaar dat mens betaal vir die hele ervaring en dat ontbyt ingesluit is in die prys. In hierdie geval was die prys van R100 vir ontbyt (nogal buitensporig) nie ingesluit in die prys nie. Daar was ook geen melding op die webtuiste dat ontbyt nie in die prys per nag ingesluit is nie. Indien ek bewus was daarvan sou ek eerder na ander moontlikhede gekyk het wat wel ontbyt insluit. Reisigers moet vooraf vasstel of ontbyt wel ingesluit is al dan nie.
