OliviaSouth AfricaGood - with a few small bathroom tweaks it would have been great
The proximity to the waterfront and the two housekeepers were lovely
The bathroom - shower head made it really difficult to have a decent shower which was a big desire on the cold nights. The blinds were insufficient to…
MelanieZMBeautiful!

KateUnited KingdomWhat a treat!
What a gem! Such a thoughtfully designed BnB with very comfortable accommodation and delicious breakfast and wonderful staff. We can’t wait to go return.
NaomiSouth AfricaThank you for an enjoyable stay.
Location, cleanliness and charm.
Breakfast could have variety. Separate tables for guests for breakfast. Sometimes, strangers don’t always want company of others especially when eating.
Riaan DewaldSouth AfricaWell we stayed there before so and we back I think that speaks for itself
We’ve stayed there before it’s very convenient but not in the centre and not close to any busy roads
Bring the two bedrooms so small and cozy it feels like you actually have your own villa

Questions about Smugglers' BnB
What time is check-in and check-out at Smugglers' BnB?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Smugglers' BnB allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Smugglers' BnB?
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 Smugglers' BnB 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 Smugglers' BnB have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Smugglers' BnB 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 Smugglers' BnB?
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.
