Beachcomber Bay in Lawrence Rocks Reviewed by Brian D, South Africa on . Nice place but overpricedGreat location! Beautiful hillside view of ocean and only about 200 paces from the nice beach, most of it being steps. Only a short drive to Margate and Ramsgate so a number of restaurant options and walking and beach options. Nice reading room with windows on three sides.
WONDERFUL breakfasts with croissants, muffins and juice; then coffee or tea to start and then your choice of health, English, traditional, or continental. English was our choice and yummy with eggs to order, bacon, sausage, tomato and toast. Nice place settings and ambiance as well.
We had Room 4 – nice LARGE and pretty tub (handheld shower). Beds comfy with percale sheets. Daily room service.
They had three dogs (we don’t care for them). Pool is only in the sun during the morning and wasn’t heated. Only interacted with Trevor, not Sharon – he was a bit gruff, but helpful in giving restaurant advice.
Two things we would have liked to know beforehand – they advertized a jacuzzi and sauna as if it was free (this is one of the reasons we chose the place), but only upon arrival did we find out they charge per half hour and we hadn’t planned that in our budget. Also, to save money the geysers are only on at set times and it’s a bit of a pain to ask for them to turn them on manually at other times and then wait a half hour for them to heat up. Personally, we thought they were being “cheap” when we hadn’t paid a cheap price.
