Set in the quiet upmarket suburb of Beacon Bay, in East London, just a short distance from the area’s pristine Nahoon beach, Blue Bend Bed & Breakfast is the ideal base for anyone seeking sunny beach days in summer or the perfect spot for storm watching in winter.
This lovely 4-Star establishment offers 14 luxury en-suite rooms with their own entrances. Most have private decks, which have stunning views of either beautiful gardens or of the Indian Ocean.
Each suite has luxury fittings and showers while some have baths as well. Most rooms have a desk, air-conditioning or fan, fridge, microwave, tea and coffee stations, hairdryer and free Wi-Fi.
For those exploring the Beacon Bay area as a family, there are three child-friendly family rooms and these have a sleeper couch and a full kitchen.
There are seven double rooms with queen-size beds, six twin rooms and one single room. The latter have three quarter-size beds.
The rooms are serviced daily and a laundry service is available, while your car will be safe in their off-street parking area. For your added comfort, each room comes with complimentary toiletries and you get remote control access to the property, so you can come and go as you wish.
If you are not keen on going out, there is a swimming pool on the premises as well as braai facilities. They have a liquor licence, so you do not have to go to the shops for your favourite drinks.
For me, it was the service that stood out. During my stay, I learnt their all-female team has won praise for always going the ‘extra mile’ for their guests.
At Blue Bend, dining is an experience.
I woke up to a full English breakfast that consisted of fruit juice, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, tea and coffee – which got me ready for my day of fun and exploration. Guests can also request specific items for breakfast, which can be delivered to your suite. Dinners and lunches can also be arranged for you at a nearby hotel.
Beacon Bay and Nahoon beach are famous for surfing, but you can also enjoy fun boat trips on the river, golfing at a nearby course, fishing and game drives. A shopping centre is just down the road for any supplies. Travelling business executives will be happy to know that the airport is just a 15-minute drive from the establishment.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Bend. Their 4-Star grading is well-deserved.
