Eden Boutique was an oasis, impressively set against the background of other domestic and industrial properties. I don't think I've come across another property that is so clean, and this didn't stop staff from further cleaning. Decor is impressive, with finishing at the accommodation to a high standard, quality painting and tiling across all surfaces. The rooms were spacious, and comfortable beds and well functioning AC ensured a good night's sleep. There's ample parking with sufficient security measures and security conscious staff. This accommodation can only get better with the installation of a hot tub in its own designated area externally. The most refreshing and pleasing element was the genuine friendliness and helpfulness of staff.

Margate Beach Club is hands down one of the best places I’ve stayed in a long time—and I travel a lot! The Three-Bedroom Luxury Apartment with Splash Pool was pure perfection. Spacious, modern, and equipped with everything you need for a top-notch holiday. The braai facilities are excellent, and the putt-putt course is a fun bonus. The deck chairs on the sand? Next level! And the best part—just step out of the gate, and you’re right on the sand. You can’t ask for a better location! Everything was spotless, well-maintained, and beyond expectations. If you want a stress-free, beachfront getaway, this is the place! Can’t wait to go back!

Stayed with family of 10 in 5 Bedroom manor. It is a beautiful home in the mountains. Large dining and lounge area with deck overlooking mountains and hot water splash pool. Very well furnished and designed en suite rooms. Very private with Air conditions and fireplace. Have vacationed extensively in the berg with family. This was by far the most comfortable and memorable. The last few kilometres to resort was a bit challenging however if you drive carefully it’s manageable. All the staff were excellent. Congratulations to management.

We also enjoyed the excellent breakfast served each morning on their restaurant terrace overlooking the grounds and ocean.

We enjoyed exploring the town and the beach.

We enjoyed exploring the town and the beach. The cottage was just right for us but the narrow stairs were challenging. We used the upstairs 'verandah ' to make the most of the Seaview and the braai. Favorite place was the restaurant in the caravan park; ideal for breakfast and watching the whales. The take away fish and chips from the Corner Fish and Chips was the best value for money. Next time I will avoid staircases.

Kokstad has become a little run down since I was there in the early 1990''s but there seems to be a concerted effort in reviving the local industry. I was a little sceptical in finding car parking on the main streets but the new mall areas had lots of parking avaliable that seemed safer. There were also car guards avalaible - many of whom begged for food in addtion to a monetary tip. The surrounding area of Kokstad is still as beautful and scenic as I remember and typical of a South African mountain town.
