Periwinkle Lodge Guest House

We were fully satiesfied with the friendly and professinal Service. Accomodation was top. Ist was a wonderfull stay.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Periwinkle Guest Lodge . Our room was very spacious, clean and fabulous views over the bay. It was my birthday and they very kindly made me chocolate brownies and sang happy birthday at breakfast. Thank you to all the staff that made us feel so very welcome and the breakfast on the terrace each morning was perfect. We had afternoon tea with the best lemon meringue I’ve had, delicious. If you get the chance to stay here you will love it.

Our room with balcony overlooking the ocean was lovely, and extremely well appointed.Eating a delicious breakfast whilst watching a pod of dolphins play in the bay was something special too. The staff could not have been more helpful and arranged taxis and restaurant bookngs for us and recommended some great places to eat.

Periwinkle is in an idyllic location a short walk from a fabulous beach. Great room, wonderful staff a truly memorable experience.

We had been looking forward to the wide panoramic sea-views for our last three nights at Periwinkle Guesthouse and were, therefore, initially very disappointed to be given Room 6 on the first floor, below the breakfast area. Unfortunately it was the Easter weekend and Pearson and Brian were very apologetic that they didn’t have any higher floor rooms available to move us into. To our surprise, the room really grew on us. It was large and spacious and there was hardly any noise either from the little road in front nor from the breakfast/reception area overhead (I had worried about loud conversations and scraping chairs early in the morning). The view of the sea was nice (albeit not panoramic), we could hear the waves crashing all night and contrary to my initial fears, it was actually very private. The entire house is beautiful with many lovely, quirky touches. The pool area is very relaxing even though the water temperature was rather refreshing in March. There are also only four sun loungers but with most guests enjoying the beach rather than the pool, it wasn’t a problem. It actually gets sun until mid-afternoon despite facing east/southeast (the balconies only get morning sun). There was no A/C but a very welcome ceiling fan and lots of cross-draughts to keep us cool. Breakfast was absolutely excellent and the afternoon cakes were to die for (the Lemon Meringue is in a class of its own!) Brian and Pearson are excellent hosts and couldn’t have been more helpful. All in all, we enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing Easter weekend right down by the Indian Ocean before tackling the long journey home. Would highly recommend this guesthouse!

Wounderful place with excellent view at the ocean. The lobby is very nice, like a livingroom with seaview. Breakfast is served at the terrasse and you feel being at home. The choise of breakfast is very rich and good
