Georgeous beach hotel
Great views of the bay from our spacious one bedroom suite. Restaurant was very good also with sea views. Pool is a bit small with limited towels and loungers.

A True Haven
This resort has a breath-taking view of the beach and the accommodations are beyond excellent. Having the restaurants on the property was an extra convenient bonus; the food and service was wonderful! The management and staff @ Brenton Haven is warm, welcoming & accommodating. Next time I’ll stay longer!

The villa unit was very comfortable and had lovely sea views from the main room and balcony. The housekeeping was good, just need more attention to detail when replenishing tea sachets for the next morning. Reception was initially not overly welcoming, but thereafter a gent named Nkosi was excellent in helping us.

Poderia ter sido melhor
Acomodação com dois quartos com boas camas e bem limpo, sala, cozinha bem equipada e varanda com um linda vista. Não dei nota máxima pois ficamos sem água quente, a energia caia a todo momento, e não tinha mais ninguém na recepção quando tentamos pedir apoio, um segurança que nos deu suporte e restabeleceu o aquecimento da água. O café da manhã se inicia às 8:00, achamos tarde.

Beim Abendessen ist die frisch gemachte Sushiplatte Weltklasse! Beim Frühstück ist der Cappuccino gesondert zu zahlen, die Brote sind so hart, dass alle Gäste mit den unscharfen Messern irgendwann aufgeben und nur den Belag essen.Das Omlett ist sehr fettig! Die Mitarbeiter des Restaurants sind bemüht, aber unorganisiert.

Underbart läge vid stranden!
Vi bodde en natt på Brenton Haven Beachfront, underbart läge precis vid en makalös strand! Perfekt "badhotell för familj". Mycket nöjda med rum och läge, toppen frukost men välj en annan restaurang för middag om möjligt.

Ficamos no apartamento 5, a vista do mar é incrível, tem utensílios básicos pra cozinha e inclusive uma churrasqueira externa que proporciona momentos agradáveis. Staff educado e cordial. Com certeza voltaremos numa próxima oportunidade.
Next to the Brenden Beach, 2014 rebuilt modern accomodarion with very friendly and helpful staff. Clean room, great view to the Ocean from patio and bedroom. The food at the restaurant was really tasty, the breakfast also very decent. Would return here anytime.
Our stay was wonderful.
As a single mom, I felt security visibility would have been comforting. Maybe consider having securities at night during peak periods.
Die Unterkunft liegt fantastisch am Meer. Von unserem Zimmer aus konnten wir einen der schönsten Sonnenuntergänge erleben. Das Personal ist freundlich. Allerdings stimmte die angegebene Adresse (198 CR Swart Drive) nicht genau und so haben wir dieses "Resort" auf der Strecke hinunter zum Meer gesucht und schlussendlich gefunden :-).
Beautiful building with great facilities. Compared to other place the hospitality was not excellent but however good. The breakfast not included for a luxury structure is unreasonable.
Best guesthouse we stayed at during our trip to South Africa! Stunning property right on the beach, you can spot dolphin from your balcony early morning.. priceless! Deon & Leane have a true sense of hospitality and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for making our b'day celebrations so special and memorable!
