Shaloha Guesthouse on Supertubes

This review is relatively objective being my 17th road trip staying at 18 properties over a 43 night period. I stayed solo for 7 nights in March, this being a return visit. Efficient and welcoming staff. Relatively easily found with secure parking available. The very high standards experienced in all areas on my first visit have been maintained. This large and relaxingly luxurious house is in a perfect position overlooking the Supertubes surfing beach. All top class amenities for self catering are present. Shops and restaurants within walking distance. Great selection of books in the large library. My large Oceanic room on the top floor had stunning views out over the beach and sea - the deck being perfect for early morning sunrise coffee or something stronger at sunset. Luxurious bed linen and well equipped. An inverter provided sufficient back up power during load shedding. Good WiFi throughout. If J Bay is on my itinerary in 2025 I’ll be back in a flash! Highly recommended.

We Opt to Stay Longer Each Time! Zandra is the perfect host in this gem of a guesthouse. Her staff are so lovely and keep the whole place pristine. The shared kitchen areas are amazingly well kitted out and dining beside the fireplace outside in the evening is so magical that we haven’t tried a restaurant in JBay for dinner! Everything about this place is 5+star.

This review is relatively objective, this being my 16th road trip staying at 14 properties over a 39 night period. We stayed for 6 nights in March. Due to our previously booked property being totally unsuitable we ‘lucked out’ by being ‘walk ins’ at Shaloha. Welcoming, efficient staff and owner (Zandra) Off street, secure parking. Wow - from the street there’s no clue as to the quality of this property and the superb location. Internally welcomingly modern with a luxurious atmosphere full of character without being over sanitised/all stainless steel and glass. The spacious common areas are just so well equipped and relaxing. There’s a modern very well equipped open plan kitchen area (including a Nespresso machine) for self catering.The ocean view stoep is large and well equipped - if no one is braaing a fire is lit each evening. The first floor balcony has even better views. Our first night was spent in a garden view room, which was clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped to a very high standard. Top quality bed linen. Good shower pressure. Subsequent nights were spent in a larger first floor room with great ocean views from the balcony. Again, very high room standards. Good WiFi with an inverter to provide power during load shedding. Minutes walk down to the beach for excellent walks in either direction. Nina’s eatery and shops are a few minutes walk away. Highly recommended.
