Unterkunft mit schöner Aussicht
Die Lage mit der Aussicht auf die Bucht war super und die Holzterrasse und der Weg zum Zimmer war sehr schön.
Die Küche ist sehr mäßig ausgestattet .Ein Nudelsieb wäre zum Beispiel sehr hilfreich gewesen.

The location was great, the room very comfortable. However the TV channels are not good at all. I wanted to watch Wimbledon, no sport channels. I think that needs improvement

Questions about Protea Guest House

What time is check-in and check-out at Protea 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 Protea Guest House allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Protea 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 Protea Guest House have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Protea 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 Protea 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.
