Millwood House is modern, clean and most importantly safe. The host and butler were so sweet and accommodating. My son enjoyed the garden and I enjoyed being in such a secluded place. They communicated well if there was an issue such as power outage which was very helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here.

I absolutely loved staying at Sylvia’s apartment, my stay was a 10/10! The apartment had everything that I needed for my stay…loved that it has a grill. Everything was spotless and I appreciated the daily cleaning service. Also, I would like to extend a special thank you for the free welcome snacks, soft drink and water - as someone who lives abroad, I was super excited to indulge on the South African snacks 😊😊😊. This is by far my favourite apartment at the Qauyside, and I will definitely book again in the near future.

We were lucky enough to get a room with a balcony just next to the hotel dining room and it was superb! The room was clean and comfortable. Their dining room is on 3rd floor overlooking the beach! The hotel sits right in front of the beach and you have less than 5 minutes walk to famous restaurants like Spur, Wimpy, McDonald's, Steers, Debonairs Pizza, Ocean Basket, to name a few, which are also on the beachfront.

My room was amazing. It was facing the ocean/beach. The breeze was entering my room every morning during the my time there. I enjoyed my time drinking coffee and watching the surfers in the morning. The breakfast was really pleasant. Breakfast was eggs, omlets and fruit along with other options. The location was on the beach and close to all the action. The bar was cool and active with a DJ on the weekends for happy hour.
