A last-minute decision to go diving on Aliwal Shoal saw me booked at the Bare Feet Retreat, and what a fantastic decision it was. I received the friendliest welcome from the host who saw me to my room and took the time to show me around and make sure I was settled. I further had the opportunity to have wonderful chats with the hosts and really connected with them on our mutual interests and love for the ocean, nature and conservation. I was further kindly accommodated with both an early check in and late check out, which removed my logistical challenges, allowing me to really maximise and enjoy my short visit without stress and pressure. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet and I had everything I needed. The value for money and location and the friendly, kind and accommodating hosts make the Bare Feet Retreat a must stay when heading to the south coast. I will most certainly be back!

The name says it all! It was a quiet retreat away from the bustling Christmas crowds. The room opened into a quaint courtyard that allowed for reading under the trees. When you sit and eat your breakfast on the lovely open-air verandah, the view of the sea is spectacular. The owners, Kim and Sander, were so friendly and accommodating. Not far from Scottburgh main beach and all amenities. It is very safe for a female solo traveler. The room was very clean and modern. Lovely design.

Nothing! It was perfect

Sander and Kim were wonderful hosts. The property was very clean and comfortable. I really loved the rainfall type shower. Great beach style decor with a fridge and safe in the room. Lovely soft bedding. The "Peaceful room" lived up to it's name. I would highly reccomend this guest house.

Bare feet retreat truly is something special. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I did not feel like another customer (as most hotels feel) Instead I felt like I was at a friends home. Who welcomes you with open arms and makes sure that you’re as comfortable as possible during your stay. Apart from the familiar feeling of family Sander, Kim and the doggies give you. The room itself was so comfortable. Whenever I returned from my day out, entering my room was so calming and peaceful that falling asleep was as easier than falling asleep at home. Bare feet retreat truly is a retreat. Sander and Kim have created a perfect environment conducive to peace and serenity, and I Can’t wait to go back!!!

The owners (Kim and Sanders) , are warm, helpful , kind and approachable. They really do go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and great as possible. They had great recommendations about the area and things to do as well as provided great details as well. The breakfast prepared by Kim is incredibly delicious 😋 and is absolutely worth the money. Overall I had an absolutely wonderful and amazing time there and will definitely recommend the place to anyone looking to book there for a holiday or even work purposes. Great location and is easy to find. Thank you Kim and Sanders once again.

The breakfast was good and the hosts very nice and friendly. Very helpful and I am greatful finding me a great dive shop and introducing me to them to get me started. If I wanted a affordable stay for a diving I made the right choice selecting Bare Feet Retreat

Sander and Kim went all out to please and accommodate food allergy. Also recommended and booked urgent physio appointment making sure we were well taken care of. They both go beyond their call of duty.

No aircon and ventilation.

We loved the peace and tranquility of the property. Truly home away from home. Secure and safe. We slept with our room door open every night. Location just perfect away from the buzz with the most perfect view. Lovely comfortable beds just what is needed for a proper rest. Kim and Sander made us feel at home and like family! Thank you both for the most amazing stay. We can recommend this Guesthouse 10/10. Thank you Kim and Sander for the best stay.

We honestly don't have anything to comment. It was just perfect and what we needed.

Sander and Kim were very attentive and detail oriented hosts. They are also just great and kind people! Their home is very peaceful and beautiful. A 3 minute drive from Scuba Xcursion. I would have a light breakfast in the morning and a full breakfast when I returned from the dives. Sander also joined me on one of the dives!

Nothing

The rooms are comfy and homey, with good beds and pillows and excellent service by the host!

More coffee in room and more cups
