Carslogie House

perfect location, close to the beach, about 20 minutes walk to the shopping center. the breakfast is amazing!

Lovely secure B&B close to beach and local shops. Rooms well presented with comfy beds surrounding a small pool. Hosts could not do more for you and great breakfast. Have returned for a second year running.

Absolutely loved this place. Will certainly be back next time

I had the pleasure of staying at Carslogie House in December 2024 and absolutely loved my stay at this little oasis. The owners and staff are warm, welcoming and accommodating, the facilities are clean and comfortable and the breakfasts are superb! It is also a great location if you are looking for some peace and quiet to unwind and enjoy the beautiful pool area. Lastly, it is walking distance from some of the safest and best beaches in the Eastern Cape - you simply can't go wrong!

I recently checked into Carslogie House in Port Elizabeth around 7pm on a Wednesday night, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a gentleman who wasn’t particularly friendly. I asked him for a simple bowl of ice, and to my surprise, he told me he doubted they had any ice at all. I travel frequently, and in my experience, either ice is readily available in the bar fridge or the staff is more than happy to provide some upon request. His response was unexpected, and I questioned him, asking if there was really no ice in the freezer. He firmly said, "unfortunately not." Things took a turn for the worse when, about 10 minutes later, I was approached very aggressively by the owner. She was extremely confrontational, getting uncomfortably close to me and telling me that she had to bring ice from her house down the road. She flung a small bag of ice onto the table and scolded me for asking about the ice, accusing me of disrespecting her employee. I was shocked by her rudeness, as I was simply a guest making a polite inquiry. What made it worse was her dismissive attitude when I politely mentioned that I was vegetarian. She rudely shouted back, "oh well, good luck with that," before rushing off. I felt completely unwelcome and uncomfortable. As a result, I didn’t even attend breakfast on either of my mornings, even though it had already been paid for. I had no desire to interact with the owner again. This experience was unlike anything I’ve ever encountered in a guest house. The owner and staff desperately need to improve their hosting skills. I cannot recommend Carslogie house , as the hospitality was appalling.

All excellent. Only blip, I would have liked a firmer mattress. My husband is a restless sleeper and the bouncy mattress meant I kept being woken up.
