Jeffreys Bay, affectionately known as J-Bay, is a popular seaside resort in the Eastern Cape, approximately 50 minutes drive from Port Elizabeth airport. With its beautiful beaches and warm ocean, it makes an ideal R&R stop after exploring the Garden Route.

On the Beach guesthouse offers eleven classically styled rooms and as its name suggests, has a prime  beachfront location. In the upstairs lounge, there are magnificent views up the coastline and out to sea and if you are lucky, you may spot a pod of dolphins playing in the waves. This relaxed informal space also contains an honesty bar and an outdoor deck from where breakfast can be enjoyed each morning. For time on the beach, guests have complimentary use of chairs, umbrellas and towels, whilst the patio provides extra living space with Braai (barbeque) facilities and seating arranged around a cozy fire pit.

Standard rooms are on the first floor and have a small balcony, ceiling fan, television, safe and free WiFi. Beach Rooms have views of the ocean and garden, air conditioning and minibar.
