MerissaThailandEnjoyed our stay, just a bit disappointed with the cleanliness.
The welcome was warm and friendly. Spacious rooms, very close and in walking distance to main road and waterfront area. Friendly staff and owners. Had everything we needed, including an outside patio and braai. Beautiful…

Friendly owners who met us on arrival rather than an impersonal lock box. Clean apartment. Friendly lab came round to say hello in the morning.

Questions about Brown Jug Guest House
What time is check-in and check-out at Brown Jug Guest House?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Brown Jug Guest House allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Brown Jug Guest House?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Brown Jug Guest House have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Brown Jug Guest House have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Brown Jug Guest House have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Brown Jug Guest House?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
