FunkyTown is a 3 star self-catering establishment which was created from an old stone house that was both renewed and recycled to establish the eclectic, en-suite and stylish accommodation it is today in Jeffreys Bay.
Luxurious Accommodation
Welcome to
Our bedrooms are comfortable with designer furniture and original art; and our bathrooms are clean, funky and fitted with rain showers!
It is not only our bedrooms and bathrooms that are worth talking about, as we offer a modern kitchen, a pool, a Jacuzzi and a bar. FunkyTown has also been compared to that of an art boutique hotel thanks to the many pieces of local art hanging throughout the property.
If you're heading to Jeffreys Bay - Funk it up!

We did not stay in the room that was shown on the booking confirmation. Unfortunately I only realized it when I checked the booking confirmation when we returned. Our... read more room only had a cement floor with nothing else on the floor. The mini bar was a only a refrigerator with two bottles of water on the day of our arrival. The balcony was only a walkway. Our room did not have a single chair. The basin in the bathroom did not have hot water. There is nothing in the shower where you can store anything. You have to put everything you need on the floor. We never once managed to use the wifi as there was no connectivity. The neighbors had two dogs that they kept locked in the room when they go out despite the property listed as not pet friendly. We had to listen to the dogs when their owners were not in the room. As animal lovers that was really not the best way to spend your evenings. The hot tub was not functional and the pool is just a plunge pool. The location was the only reason why we did not leave earlier than what we planned.
January 6, 2020I decided to book this place after reading the positive reviews but OH MY, this was indeed THE WORST HOSPITALITY I had ever experience out of the 20+ countries I've... read more been to. After a whole tiring day of sightseeing, instead of being welcomed with a smile, that lady was showing an attitude face. She was shouting at us for arriving late and was being blatantly rude, all of us including our local driver, were so surprised at her remark that it leaves us speechless! I'm starting to doubt the reviews I've read about their hospitality here because she obviously have NO CLUE about basic customer service at all! Yes I wasn't aware of the house rules, but I had make a remark at the time of my booking saying that we will arrived quite late. Circumstances may also happen along the way which can delay our arrival time and from my understanding, all hotels have at least 12 to 24 hours reception! You as a owner of this place, should have some courtesy to send me an email beforehand and alert me about the check in times before our arrival. If I would have known earlier that I need to check in by 6pm, I would not even bother to book this place because we came from Addo National Park doing the Sunset tour and it was a long drive to get here.
All the other accommodations we stayed in Cape Town (some are way cheaper than this) even provide us with excellent Wi-Fi, but this place doesn't even have it in their rooms upstairs! If you need to stay connected to do your work, you have to sit at the reception area. How budget and pathetic it is, its not even worth half the price we paid! Unless I ever lose my memory of my stay, I will never ever step into this place again and will definitely not recommend this to any of our friends either. I had a very pleasant time in Cape town, but this particular lady just had to ruin my day. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!
