I recently had the pleasure of staying at Glow Suites and I must say, it was an absolutely fabulous experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly and helpful hosts, Philip and Ron, who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We were thrilled to learn that we had been upgraded to a splendid room, which was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we slept very soundly. The room also had all the amenities we needed, including a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge and a well-appointed bathroom, a beautiful balcony, and delicious chocolates for a goodnight sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast. The hosts served up a range of tasty treats, including fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries and a selection of hot dishes. Overall, I cannot recommend Glow Suites highly enough. The hosts were amazing, the room was fantastic and the breakfast was simply delicious. I will definitely be returning here on my next visit to the area. Thank you, Philip and Ron, for a truly wonderful stay!

I looked at the previous reviews and everyone rated the breakfast highly, which made me curious... Upon tasting the breakfast, I agree with the other reviews lol, the breakfast was amazing. Steven is a great host, and the room was comfy with modern finishes. The guesthouse was walking distance from all places one would wish to visit and I could see how the pool area would be desirable in summer.

We really enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse. It is located in a quiet place but very close to the town centre and with a shortcut access to the famous cliff path. Stefan and Nikki are very welcoming hosts and helped us a lot with valuable recommendations on how to spend time. The room has new equipment and is very comfortable. We were there in hot time, but there was always fresh wind from the ocean in the night. Also, very delicious breakfast with generous portions. Definitely recommend this place!

Exceptionally friendly hosts Natascha and Devon. Great breakfast with multiple fresh fruits, egg choices, fresh yoghurts and cereals. All blessed by a great ocean view. Welcome mini bar in room, airco properly working for hot days, little things taken care of and deliciously smelling fynbos soap & lotion. Gated parking at the guesthouse, a few minutes walking from the center.
