Goble Palms Lodge is just stunning. The place is beautiful, incredibly well kept, the rooms are a dream, so stylish. Yummy breakfast. The honesty bar has a wonderful vibe. The area is safe and it's walking distance to Florida street. I hope to return some day!

It was a birthday gift to a family member and I mentioned the special occasion in my booking. My family were excited to receive a welcome basket of goodies for their birthday and a room that was sea facing. The Manager called them personally to invite them to a complimentary dinner but they were full from the delicious goody basket. They were then offered a complimentary breakfast and were very happy with the range of vegetarian foods that was provided to cater for them. The hotel more than exceeded our expectation in terms of making it special for the family member. Will definitely stay at Coastlands when we visit South Africa again.
