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.

Truly amazing hotel, ran by amazing ladies! The location is perfect, the beach is perfect and the stay is always perfect 😁

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.

Absolutely perfect location with a beautiful view. The house is located in a prime spot close to a stunning surfers beach, but still remains private. There were security guards around the area, so felt pretty safe too. (really impressed with the changes JBay's council/municipality made- JBay looked clean and safe). The house is decorated beautifully and the staff were super helpful and kept us really comfortable during our stay. We had braais/bbq's daily while watching surfers come & go. Fabulous kitchen - we had the house to ourselves and it really felt like home away from home with everything you could need available. Walking distance to the shops and fabulous beaches. Thank you Zandra - we will be back :-)

Great views from the room and common area upstairs

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.

Super nice house, big rooms with comfy beds and the best beach view to all the surf spots in J-bay. Very lovely hosts with good recommendations and a room upgrade for us. Best views from the balcony!

The view from the room was absolutely spectacular. Short driving distance into the town to get dinner was a bonus and the room also lovely and very clean.

Welcome: Lovely friendly welcome from Prudence. Zandra was also great at recommending places for food. Room: Modern fresh decor. Everything you needed, lots of space and a lovely balcony with both sun loungers and table and chairs. The living area and shared kitchen are super clean and modern. We had a fire outside on our first night which was just wonderful. There were marshmallows to roast and port and gin on offer to try - a really nice touch. Big bonus was the filtered water on tap to fill up water bottles and the beach towels, umbrellas all on offer for guests to use. Stairs down to direct access to the beach. Probably won’t visit J-bay again but if we did we would come back here.
