Location was perfect. The upstairs lounge was just down the hall from our room so we felt like we were staying at a friend's house. Perfect location to watch the sunrise without going outside.

Beautiful hotel and beach. Breakfast amazing

Lovely Penthouse room, with stunning views of the beach. Breakfast staff were excellent. Very nice lounge area with honesty bar for guests to relax in. Would definitely recommend On The Beach.

It was locally owned, smaller guest home that had amazing staff, family friendly and extremely accommodating after having to change dates last minute due to a flight cancellation. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a secluded but elegant home environment.

Great place right on the beach with well appointed rooma. Staff provided superb service all the time and made you feel relaxed.

We stayed in one of the beachfront rooms on the 1st floor. Spacious and luxurious. All the amenities and comforts one could want. Thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, the breakfast and the location.

The most amazing place in JBay 2 stay. Unbelievable. The rooms and views breathtaking.

On the beach guesthouse was an amazing experience. The rooms were beautifully appointed and the views were even better than we hoped. Breakfast was excellent and there was an honesty bar offering all the drinks you would want. Lots of restaurants nearby and of course direct access to the beach. We watched dolphins swimming in the sea from our balcony, an amazing sight. If we are back in the area we will definitely return to this place.

On The Beach was a great spot in J Bay. Clean, well equipped and great service. Good breakfast with fantastic views. We had a 3 night stop and I could not have been better. Top marks.

The guest house has lots of potential with a nice location and good facilities. The staff are friendly, the breakfasts were good and the communial areas had nice sea views. However, we paid extra for a superior room which said it had a balcony and sea views but it had two windows opening onto a public parking lot and the other opening onto the hotel beach entrance. The effect being that we had to keep the curtains closed and be in a dark room as there were people constantly walking by who could see in. We complained about this. If it was not busy season we would have gone elsewhere . The staff mentioned that many people have complained about this. In our opinion, unless you book the most expensive executive room, if you want privacy and a sea view from your room, it's not worth it. If you don't mind these then booking would be ok as you are on the beach (not the main swimming beach).

cozy and luxurious swank room in a great location. Fantastic breakfast to say least. Great staff, the manager he is a Gem. Can't complain about a thing...

Loved this hotel. Was located right on the beach. Staff were very friendly. Great Breakfast. Nice for long walks on the beach. Romantic. Quiet

An absolutely beautiful place to stay. To be fair we did stay in the best room, but the condition throughout was outstanding. The view from our window was amazing, and the staff are really helpful. It was a shame to close the curtains at night and I couldn't wait to open them in the morning. Very quiet (except the waves). Try it you won't be disappointed.

Best beach view in ocean suites,and penthouse.breakfast in the lounge,is great ,fabulous eggs benedict,and has all around beach view,it is simply stunning I every detail.waverly is a little quieter side of town for those of us who are old,but who still love the ocean.

The hotel in general is very good : excellent breakfast, beautiful terrace & nice staff. However our room was small and outdated for the rate we payed ( perhaps overpriced if we compared with our hotel in Cape town which was cheaper & the room was bigger & better) . We even had the bathroom floor covered in water after a shower because of a leak in the bath. There were other rooms that appeared to be in a much better condition (recently modernized perhaps), but I suspect you must be prepared to pay a lot more.
