Staying at Zareba Bed and Breakfast Guest House was a wonderful experience. We spoke to Cathy at short notice seeking accommodation. 25 minutes later we were at the Guest House and being accommodated, smooth as silk and without a fuss.

The accommodation was top class, the food was excellent, the company was great. If there were any extras that were needed these were provided with generosity and kindness. I recommend anybody visiting P.E. to book and enjoy the stay at Zareba Bed and Breakfast Guest House.

Regards,

David Lipsitz – Johannesburg

Just returned from my second stay at Zareba and was a carbon copy of the last, just perfect! The property is secure, quiet and beautiful in the best location, close to the best restuarants and bars. Cathy and Princess are fantastic hosts and will be back again soon.

I would just like to start by thanking Cathy for always finding us the right accommodation when ever we go to PE. She is one of those persons that will do more than what is expected of her to make our stay as pleasant as possible. When it comes to the rooms at her quest house there is just nothing you can find out of place its always neat and tidy. She always make you feel at home. As we travel a lot over the years to different locations I can honestly recommend Cathy’s place as one of the best we stayed in.

Thanks again Cathy.

Dear reader, are you looking for a real honest review for the most affordable and homely accommodation in the friendliest City in South Africa… Port Elizabeth. If you are… then relax and read on.

Well at last, … .it’s now high time to get off my butt and write a review that is long overdue… naughty me… who has not return the hospitality received over the past few years… disgraceful conduct on my part, and it is about time to make amends! … knowing full well.. that I could do myself out of a room for writing this review, and ..dammmm..it.. take second best!

Our business is directly involved with servicing and installation of fall arrest systems around the country, and with a bit of offshore work in-between… and at times, we can arrive on the door step, … and at odd hours, tired, dirty, grumpy, and believe me… .baggage, and all.

In all this time, we have never once had reason to complain about Zareba Guesthouse.. Cathy is the owner and manager of Zareba Guest House, or the correctly expression is…our home from home!

There have been a few occasions when the dreaded accommodation famine hits the Port Elizabeth coast line, due to rugby, social events, conferences and the many other festivals that are held annually in and around this friendly city. Well, accommodation famine is not a problem… . somehow… and I am still trying to work out how!… Cathy will find … a home from home accommodation for us.

Being in business for many years has taught me well; it is very risky, allowing your client(s) an introduction to your opposition… ..but for Cathy’s … our well-being has always been her first priority!

I don’t know about you, but trying to find the right “home from home” with the right location for my guys for their time off … has always been a nightmare!

To date, my employees have always been very happy with Zareba Guesthouse’s location on Richmond Hill. They have and still all enjoyed a wide variety of so many restaurants, including the friendly pubs and one of the best steak houses I have had the pleasure to dine in… . and all within three minutes’ walk from Zareba Guesthouse… but that’s not all… . Mmmmmh… .closer still, are two newly opened wine-and-dine type restaurant/pubs, and both of them are within a short step from her door step, (5 seconds that’s all) at opposite ends of the street!

Come..on then..argue with me… but after a hard day’s work, after a long drive from gangsters, or after a roundhouse trip via the Cape of Storms, I can only recommend that you keep Cathy’s number close at hand when planning your next trip to or via the friendly city… I am still toying… .Should I delete this post…

PS… My little Jack (Jack Russell) has now an argument.. if he is left behind!

Travel safe, ardour!

Neville

My wife and I had a great stay at Zareba. The guesthouse is ideally situated, easy walking distance to a number of good restaurants and bars. Cathy is a charming hostess and very helpful. We stayed in the self-catering cottage which suited us perfectly because it is very private and has a lovely outside patio and barbecue area. All in all, excellent accommodation and very affordable. We will certainly be going back!

Stayed there for 2 nights, great breakfast. The cottage was perfect for more privacy since we are not regulars at guest houses. Very clean and close to delicious restaurants.
Would recommend.

We had the privilege to stay at Zareba’s Self Catering Cottage during our December 2013 holiday. It exceeded all our expectations, the Cottage had everything we needed and fresh linen and towels were provided regularly (which we did not expect for a Self Catering Unit). It was also very central, so we could actually do all the things we planned, as we didn’t have to spend much time on the roads travelling down to the Beach, to the Shopping Malls etc.

Cathy is an excellent hostess and makes you feel at home with her friendly smile and goes out of her way to make sure that everybody is comfortable.

Zareba is our new destination of choice when visiting Port Elizabeth.

See you soon, Cathy.

Regards,

Adri, Mariska and Wian
