What Our Guests Say
Looking for the best accommodation in Great Brak River? Read what 228 guests say on Google and decide for yourself.
Location was stunning. Room was very modern and luxurious. Friendly staff and spectacular view. All in all a lovely experience.
This is the TRUE “Home away from Home” — with shoe racks, sock drawers, rooms the size of a real house, and showers with a view. Everything is thought of.
A piece of heaven. From the welcoming Wiseman, an absolute gem, to the stunning views and well-appointed rooms — the cleanliness was a joy and a blessing, for sure.
A state-of-the-art, huge room, beautifully furnished in a fabulous position overlooking the ocean. I wish I could have stayed longer.
A tranquil, relaxing stay with a friendly host, Johnny. Beautiful rooms, but the view is even better. You can braai and make use of the facilities. Highly recommended.
Warm welcome. A lovely sea view after a long journey. Quiet area, with a private stairway to the beach. Rooms were neat and clean. We will definitely book again and stay longer.
Our stay at Seebederfie Guesthouse was simply exceptional. A true gem right on the coastline.
The views are beautiful. The rooms are super clean and the linen was fresh. Wiseman was super helpful in making sure we were comfortable.
What an incredible, beautiful experience. A piece of paradise — the most amazing views from each room.
Lovely rooms overlooking the ocean, right on the beachfront. Secluded, away from the hustle and bustle, which makes it an ideal place to unwind.
