Searching for excellent seaside accommodation that offers luxurious facilities, a peaceful environment and quality service, then look no further than the Nautilus Guest House in Bluewater Bay, Port Elizabeth!

4-Star in rating but 5-Star in service excellence; from the moment I arrived at the Nautilus Guest House, I was warmly welcomed.

I knew I was in for an unforgettable experience as I was led to my room – the Sundial, also known as the Honeymoon Suite. Situated on the upper floor, I had uninterrupted views of Algoa Bay and the Indian Ocean, which I could enjoy from my spacious balcony. The suite also has its own private entrance.

After settling in, I was given a tour of the rest of the building. The owners, Charma and Shaun, have truly endeavoured to create a serene escape for both business and holiday travellers to the Bay. The best part, the guest house is within reach of the city so you can still go about your business and still be able to quickly return to the guest house to relax and soak in the sun.

There are seven rooms to choose from at Nautilus Guest House, each one with its own en-suite bathroom and luxury amenities to keep your stay as comfortable as possible. With anything I could need in my room and generous hosts making sure I was comfortable, I wanted for nothing during my stay.

The Sundial Suite comes with an antique pillar-post King-sized bed, and en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, air-conditioning, a TV with DStv, Nespresso Machine, tea and coffee-making facilities and free access to Wi-Fi.

The beds are fitted with crisp linen which made me feel like I was sleeping tucked inside a cloud, and fresh towels for the bathroom as well as other necessary amenities. Not only was my room spacious, but it was also well-kept and beautifully decorated, so much so I almost didn’t want to leave.

Other rooms to choose from are the Sailor’s Ear (Family Room) which can accommodate up to four people, the Eastern Oyster which can sleep two people, the Abelone Room, which comes with a sleeper couch to accommodate three people, and the Cockles & Mussels Room which can sleep two people.

For longer stays, you can stay in the Starfish Flat (Family Unit), which can accommodate up to four people, and the Six Knots Luxury Flat which accommodates two people. The flats offer access to the swimming pool and a spacious kitchen.

Facilities & breakfast at Nautilus Guest House

As we are in the middle of winter, I sat back in my room relaxing under the air-con, not daring to attempt to leave to grab some dinner. Much to my surprise, Charma popped in and offered to grab something for me to eat which I gratefully accepted.

I can say with certainty that the owners of Nautilus Guest House offer a one-of-a-kind personal service that cannot be beaten!

Breakfast is a very personal and refreshing experience at Nautilus Guest House. Charma pulls out all the stops and serves up a hearty and filling breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausages and mushrooms paired with either a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a selection of juices.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
