Beautiful room with a great kitchenette. The pool was lovely to swim in. I had a great stay. Judy & Gerald are excellent hosts and so helpful. Would definitely stay again. The location worked great for me, I didn’t have a car but was able to Uber easily and cheaply from the guest house.

I can not recommend enough this place, the room is beautiful, the bed is super comfortable, the location is super close to the airport, and the hosts are amazing people. Hope we could have stayed more.
Everything was just perfect.

We loved everything about Wagtails. Our hosts Judy and Gerald were absolutely amazing, so genuinely kind and caring. They made us feel at home, as did DJ and Rusty, their lovely pets. We enjoyed the cleanliness, the peace and quiet, the pool, the kitchen facilities, absolutely everything was perfect. The shower was fantastic. Judy brought us free coffee to our room every morning! Would like to stay longer next time. Thanks Judy and Gerald for taking care of us
There is nothing I did not like about Wagtails

The apartment is stunning, clean and designed simply and tastefully. The area is fenced although the neighborhood is safe. So, we felt very safe. The hosts, Judith & Jerald are charming, always available, and attentive to our questions and requests. It was a pleasure staying there and we definitely will return next time in Port Elizabeth.

The hosts, Judy and Gerald, were fantastic. Nothing was too much and they were always on hand to help. The rooms were well appointed and despite issues with power and water affecting Port Elizabeth, Wagtails is set up to ensure this doesn't impact your stay. The breakfast was fantastic and the facilities are everything you could need.

Very hospitipal and friendly. The rooms and breakfast for amazing. My friend and I (2 girls) were travelling to Port Elizabeth for the first time and they told us places which were safer to go to and where to avoid. Overall, very friendly and I've never met hosts like them. Truly amazing people.

The most incredible and extensive breakfast menu to suit any taste. From fruit & yoghurt to cereals to cooked breakfast - there's something for everyone. Fruit juices and delicious cappuccino. Great way to start the day!
I loved all of it, my stay was superb.

100% recommend Wagtails - amazing hosts and everything works. Often stay at places where there aren't enough plugs or there isn't a plug and mirror where you need them for drying hair. They have thought of everything. This was my first stay, but definitely not my last. Thank you
