Goblins Creek is a well appointed guest house with friendly hosts and staff, however, it is not near the seaside nor does it offer showers in its bedrooms, a major let-down for me. They advertise that breakfast is available on site, however they only offer self service cereal and coffee/tea. Other than accommodation, they don't offer any other service, not even help with your luggage.
Our stay was amazing, Rosé & Brett was so kind, accomodating and welcoming it all made the stay one to remember. We'll definitely go back there in the future.
A really charming guesthouse with all the small touches of a much pricier place. Great value for money, good linen, amenities, bathroom and general environment. Proprietors were super welcoming and dealt with a late check-in with ease, and really made you feel at home. Bonus: there is a Nespresso machine in the room and complimentary basic breakfast (cereals, toast, coffee) even though it is not advertised as B&B. The wildlife sanctuary at the back is a fantastic place to visit and the wild eagle owls hooting at night are a treat. You really do feel like you are in a special place. Hint: there are zero restaurants/take out places open in St Helena on a Sunday evening so be prepared. Also, if travelling to paternoster, the gravel road is badly corrugated, and not advisable. There is a fantastic book of the history of St Helena available at the west coast fossil museum (well worth a visit) which gives some great information. Enjoy the peace and tranquility!

No one at home.
Shocking. You should not be promoting this establishment. The place was unoccupied.

Tranquil and beautiful break-away at Goblins Creek
In view of celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary, we spend the night at Goblins Creek and was overwhelmed by the warm hospitality, cosy room and beautiful venue Goblins Creek. We had the best sleep on the bed (very comfortable) and delicious coffee (Kenya coffee). We are hoping to return to Goblins Creek in the future and would highly recommend for anyone to go there. Brett and Rosie will make your stay well worth the money.

Fanns ingen dörr till toaletten. Man fick duscha i badkaret som stod i sovrummet. Bara kaffe och te o mjölk och flingor till frukost.

GOBBLINS CREEK
HAD AN ENJOYABLE STAY - LOCATION WAS GOOD TO VISIT SURROUNDING PLACES ON INTEREST
Great host. Brent and Rose very welcoming and helpful with information about the area. Great recommendation for dinner at the Alegria Restaurant. Lovely grounds and enjoyed the walk about with the animals in the yard, especially feeding the turtles. Lovely setting for the pool and very refreshing after a hot day. Four poster bed was extremely comfortable.
