If you want to experience South Africa at its worst, go here. 
The place is dilapidated, however the room was clean.
The owner Denzel Wescott, came after midnight to let in two drunk, loud couples who shouted and slammed doors until way after 1am. Right next to our bedroom, (which had very beautiful views over the ocean.)
Apparently there is electric fencing, but the next morning our vehicle was broken into. Everything inside stolen. Only our vehicle, because it has an out of province license number. Because we have never been there before, we took clothing for any weather and lost it all. All KWay gear.  The owner assured us his insurance would cover our loss, since we do not have any. He lied. Then produced a notice he created on his pc. Yes, we were gullible. Moral of the story: Port Alfred is not a desirable destination.  A Villa Le Mer and 4 Carnostie Guesthouses are not safe. The owner is not responsible. Take your chances. Adios.

A BIG NO.

We had no booking, just showed up at their doorstep and we were handled like we were family. The room we had was spacious, neat and had an awesome view of the sea.  The breakfast we were served was delicious and more than enough to cater for any taste. I would go back there any time I can and recommend this guest house to any person. They helped us  to get around, as we didn't know the area at all. Great experience, would do it all over again. Thank you so much all staff of Carnoustie Guest House, we appreciate you!

Great experience

We had an amazing stay 😁...Siphokazi's hospitality is amazing...she made us feel at home away from home. The place was very neat, the view amazing..close to the beach.I would go there again and again.

WEEKEND AWAY

We stayed on the first floor for two nights in January 2016. It was big and open and sorta-luxe, though it looked as if it was in the second decade of its original interior styling; worn cushions, old bathroom fixtures/broken toilet, and bathroom/kitchen items beyond their prime.

The unit was comfortable and airy during the day, but we were instructed to close all the windows at night, presumably because of crime in the area (in fact we noticed that every house in the neighborhood was set back behind high walls and electric fences; what a shame). But closing all the windows at night really defeats the purpose of a BEACH house; people want an ocean breeze! Something needs changing there...

So yeah, this unit needed repairs/replacements and general updating--it was definitely looking more worn than the shiny website photos suggest. Just FYI.

This wasn't our first choice, but for our little family of dusty travelers it was perfectly fine given the reasonable cost; the nearby beaches are lovely, the place is relatively quiet, and the open veranda is a nice place to sit and chill out (though WiFi coverage is rather poor, sorry to say). Some noise from our upstairs neighbors, but it was fine.

Travelers: Port Alfred is really not the place I remember--which is both good and bad. Had it not been such a busy, overbooked time of year I'd definitely have sought something further up or down the coast, away from people and noise. But if you want to be more central, this is a decent spot to be near shops and a couple of OK restaurants. (Be warned that on holiday weekends, restaurants are overcrowded.)

Comfortable, good location, but showing signs of wear

Yvonne and the cleaning lady were friendly and helpful. Our unit was huge and a joy to live in. It has all the equipment that one needs except maybe a tumble dryer which would be useful. We are looking forward to our third visit at the end of this year! 

Second visit to 4 Carnousite

On arrival we were welcomed by Yvonne who showed us to our room.  It was spacious, had all the expected necessities, but in particular had a lovely view of the Indian Ocean.  Access to a lovely lounge with an equally stunning view.  Good breakfast and honesty bar in the lounge completed a lovely stay.

This venue has wow

Yvonne was most friendly, helpful and accommodating without "smothering" as sometimes happen with guest houses. The location was good and the facility had all the amenities we could hope for. The room was large and well-equipped. Everything was super-clean and neat. The only downside was hot water. We had the misfortune of waking up later than another guest who loved very, very long showers/bath, and used up all the hot water, causing us to have cold showers, and being middle of the winter it was not fun. Our top-tip would be to get up a bit earlier and enjoy a hot shower.

Friendly, accommodating, good value

This B&B rates highly based on the owners, Anthony and Colleen, who are so friendly I'd go back over and over! The rooms themselves are spacious, beautifully decorated, and luxurious, and breakfast was laid on like we were at a 5-star resort! If the weather had been nicer we'd probably have taken advantage of the pool; as it was we lounged around in the lovely comfortable living room and helped ourselves from the honour-bar. A really restful stay making Port Alfred well-worth visiting.
