Peaceful, beautiful setting and comfortable accommodation. Three of us stayed in the flat, which was equipped with everything we needed. The garden is beautiful, and we made use of the pool and generous outside area seating.

Comfortable and private. Neat, clean and comfortable self-contained and separate cottage on a property one block from the sea, almost perfect. Host is kind, gracious and private. Don't hesitate to stay here.

Comfortable short term stay. The accommodation is neat with everything you need. It is not big, but sufficient for 2 persons. It doesn't have washing up facilities, but the hostess offered to wash any dishes. The parking is right in front of the door and behind a steel gate. A plus was that provision was made for load shedding.

Gemaklike korttermyn verblyf. Die verblyf is netjies met alles wat nodig is. Dit is nie groot nie, maar voldoende vir 2 persone. Dit het nie opwasgeriewe nie, maar die gasvrou het aangebied om enige skottelgoed te was. Die parkering is reg voor die deur en agter 'n staalhek. 'n Plus was dat daar voorsiening gemaak is vir beurtkrag.

Poor facilities and overpriced. The host was not there when we arrived, and Swenky, who let us into the premises, was not aware that we were arriving or which cottage we had booked. He said Catherine had not informed him. What is referred to as a "cottage" is nothing more than a large bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. There was a bar fridge with a microwave on top and an electric kettle on top of that, as well as two armchairs and a small table with a TV in a small space off the bedroom. Unfortunately, there was no crockery or cutlery, so we were unable to have tea or coffee in the evening or before we left the following morning. Additionally, there was no shower mat, creating a risk of slipping on the water that spilled out from under the shower curtain. The mat at the wash basin was actually a plastic mat for the bath. The room was reasonably clean. On our departure, the cleaner let us out. We did not meet the host at any time. The room is overpriced for the area, which we visit at least once a month. We will not be recommending this accommodation to anyone.

Dear Ahmed, my sincere apologies for not being there and not being able to tell Swenky, the interim manager of the property, about your reservation. I was traveling and was not able be there and due to the extensive travel I had mixed up the dates and thought we were the 1st of October and not the 2nd. But Swenky is well capable of running the place as he has done do for the past 2 months Regarding the mat, cutlery and the crockery that was indeed a mistake of the cleaner, she took it inside to clean and did not return it. I will mention it to her. Please if something like that happens, all you need to do is ask and of course it will be given to you. For the appliences and the room layout, I think there are enough pictures and explanation that states what is available in the cottage. I am sorry it was not what you expected. Most people are very happy with this very cosy cottage. Perhaps when you are in town next month, please visit us again and I will show you what it normally looks like and how we normally run. Again my apologies for being absent. KInd Regards Catherine

Liewe Ahmed, my opregte verskoning dat ek nie daar is nie en nie vir Swenky, die tussentydse bestuurder van die eiendom, van jou bespreking kan vertel nie. Ek was op reis en kon nie daar wees nie en as gevolg van die uitgebreide reis het ek die datums deurmekaar en gedink ons is die 1ste Oktober en nie die 2de nie. Maar Swenky is goed in staat om die plek te bestuur soos hy die afgelope 2 maande gedoen het. Wat die mat, eetgerei en die breekware betref, wat inderdaad 'n fout van die skoonmaker was, het sy dit ingeneem om skoon te maak en dit nie teruggegee nie. Ek sal dit vir haar noem. Asseblief as so iets gebeur, al wat jy hoef te doen is om te vra en dit sal natuurlik vir jou gegee word. Vir die toebehore en die kameruitleg dink ek daar is genoeg prentjies en verduidelikings wat aandui wat in die kothuis beskikbaar is. Ek is jammer dit was nie wat jy verwag het nie. Die meeste mense is baie gelukkig met hierdie baie knus kothuis. Miskien wanneer jy volgende maand in die dorp is, besoek ons asseblief weer en ek sal jou wys hoe dit normaalweg lyk en hoe ons normaalweg hardloop. Weereens my verskoning dat ek afwesig is. Vriendelike groete Catherine

Excellent place and very friendly service. Very warm welcome on arrival. Everyone very friendly and very helpful. Accommodation was truly home away from home. Everything you need to rest well. Truly a gem of a place. Would definitely recommend.

Uitstekende plekkie en baie vriendelike diens. Baie warm ontvangs by aankoms. Almal baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Verblyf was waarlik home away from home. Alles wat nodig is on lekker te rus. Waarlik 'n juweel van 'n plekkie. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

Value for money, quiet and more than enough space for a large group. Quiet, perfect location. Space in the garden and in the house is sufficient for grandchildren. Lapa is very nice close to home.

Waarde vir geld, rustig en oor as genoeg spasie vir 'n groot groep. Rustig, perfekte ligging. Spasie in tuin en in huis is voldoende vir kleinkinders. Lapa is baie lekker na aan huis.
