16 July 2010 - "A few days ago we returned from South Africa where we spent 4 weeks travelling. One of the highlights of the trip was our stay at the JayBay House in Jeffreys Bay (18 – 22 June). We got the address from the tourist office in Jeffreys Bay and enjoyed our stay very much at this very nice guest house. The rooms are beautiful and we enjoyed the view from the terrace. Pam, Andy, and the nice staff made us feel at home. The braai (specially the bratwurst!) and Pam’s special South African dishes were delicious. JayBay House was a very special experience - we hope to come back one day." - Veronika, Angelica and Thomas  (Switzerland)
