          Adequate for short stay ”

          Large guest house. Small room. No chair or even space for one. No coffee in room, only potentially in the common area. But no actual coffee in that area when I was there. Broken tiles in shower, and at front stairs (but note devastating flooding had occurred). Water pressure was OK given the situation.

          Realistic assessment”

          Cleaniness, friendly staff.

          Our only complaint was that the address given for Jay and Bee is Strathern Rd, the entrance in Strathern Rd is a nightmare because of the steepness of the site. Staff should have immediately re directed to us to the proper entrance before we entered the gate when we arrived, we nearly burnt out our clutch trying to exit the property to enter the correct entrance, which would not have been necessary it they had told us in the first place.

          the bed, the cleanliness, friendliness of staff.

          Our stay was good, the kitchen upstairs was never clean, some other guests always left it dirty - not the fault of the hosts though, the kitchen could not be used at night as there was no lights in the kitchen,but there was a good selection of beverages and cookies,the driveways are too steep.Although breakfast is advertised for 6.30 to 9.30am - we pitched for breakfast at 8.10am, but we were turned away as they were not ready for breakfast - therefore cannot comment on the food.

          Wonderful host family, clean, care about your stay

          Had an excellent time at Jay and Bee Guest House. The guest house is family owned and operated and they live in a separate unit on site so they are always available and more than willing to answer any questions and help in any way possible. Wonderful atmosphere and a common area which is great for meeting other travelers. Everything was immaculately clean and being just a bit outside of the hustle-and-bustle of the city added to the relaxing atmosphere, yet still very close to the beaches and other attractions. Had a super time!!! Thanks!
