Lional, the owner, is an excellent host. Very nice stay. Nice sea view.

Lional, die eienaar, is 'n uitstekende gasheer. Baie lekker gebly. Mooi see-uitsig.

We swam, watched the view, got to explore Hout Bay and had a great breakfast. My partner and I had a wonderful time at African Dawn, the host was very friendly and the accommodation was very nice. The view from the Jazz room was exquisite, and the pool was a great relief after a very long drive.

Memorable! My husband and I recently stayed at African Dawn. It really exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped foot inside, we were greeted with warm smiles and an atmosphere that felt like home. The staff were simply outstanding and their genuine hospitality and unwavering commitment to ensure guest satisfaction were evident.

Friendly hosts, comfortable house. It is a private family home and we were made welcome by the owner's assistant, who was not used to hosting, she told us, and his son, as he was away. Both the host and assistant were friendly and helpful, and a neighbour was even happy to assist when a power outage meant getting out of the garage (electric door) was a slight challenge. The views from the terrace are amazing!

Could do with a bit of general TLC to get up to scratch. The hospitality given by the host was top notch, and the breakfast was delicious. The only road to the property was via a rather rough area. The pool was dirty and unusable. The property was a little bit run down, with a blocked basin and exposed power sockets, as well as a slight mouldy smell. A bit expensive for the area.

Hi John. Thanks for the feedback. There are just a few issues you raised that I would like to respond to. The pool had a bit of sand on the surface that my son did not vacuum. There could have been some leaves in the water because we have trees right next to the pool. I am now back home and will make sure the pool is vacuumed every day. As for the water itself, it is still clear and not dirty. As for the exposed plug, the electrician forgot to put the cover back. John, I asked the current people in the room if there is any mould smell and their answer was a definitive no. As for the blocked basin you refer to, it is not blocked. It just runs out slowly. The plumber working at my house today checked the basin and confirmed that it is not blocked. Everyone that stayed in that room the past few months gave me rave reviews. In fact, the room you stayed in is one of the 'guests preferred' rooms on Airbnb with a five-star rating. Not sure why you refer to the area you drove through in all but 40 seconds as a 'rough' area. Maybe where you come from you don't live next to or close to a township. It is a low income housing area. In Hout Bay, the 2 townships are close to the more affluent areas. That is the reality of South Africa. As for your comment re 'the place is a bit run down' well, I looked at all the reviews in the last 6 months. No one shares your view on my place. I have comments like 'great value for money', 'beautiful place', 'it looks like an art gallery'. A pilot that stayed with us called it 'the best place he has ever stayed' I fully understand that you are not going to satisfy every guest. When I look at all my reviews on the various sites, you are clearly an outlier. Thanks, in any case, for the review.

Hallo John. Dankie vir die terugvoer. Daar is net 'n paar kwessies wat jy geopper het waarop ek graag wil reageer. Die swembad het 'n bietjie sand op die oppervlak gehad wat my seun nie gesuig het nie. Daar kon 'n paar blare in die water gewees het want ons het bome reg langs die swembad. Ek is nou terug by die huis en sal sorg dat die swembad elke dag gestofsuig word. Wat die water self betref, is dit steeds helder en nie vuil nie. Wat die ontblote prop betref, die elektrisiën het vergeet om die deksel terug te sit. John, ek het die huidige mense in die kamer gevra of daar enige vormreuk is en hulle antwoord was 'n definitiewe nee. Wat die geblokkeerde wasbak waarna jy verwys, betref, dit is nie geblokkeer nie. Dit raak net stadig op. Die loodgieter wat vandag by my huis werk, het die wasbak nagegaan en bevestig dat dit nie geblokkeer is nie. Almal wat die afgelope paar maande in daardie kamer gebly het, het my goeie resensies gegee. Trouens, die kamer waarin jy gebly het, is een van die 'gaste verkies'-kamers op Airbnb met 'n vyfster-gradering. Nie seker hoekom jy na die area waardeur jy gery het in alles behalwe 40 sekondes as 'n 'rowwe' area verwys nie. Miskien waar jy vandaan kom woon jy nie langs of naby 'n township nie. Dit is 'n lae-inkomste behuisingsgebied. In Houtbaai is die 2 townships naby die meer gegoede gebiede. Dit is die realiteit van Suid-Afrika. Wat jou opmerking betref oor 'die plek is 'n bietjie afgeleef' goed, ek het na al die resensies in die afgelope 6 maande gekyk. Niemand deel jou siening oor my plek nie. Ek het opmerkings soos 'groot waarde vir geld', 'pragtige plek', 'dit lyk soos 'n kunsgalery'. 'n Vlieënier wat by ons gebly het, noem dit 'die beste plek waar hy nog gebly het' Ek verstaan ten volle dat jy nie elke gas gaan tevrede stel nie. As ek na al my resensies op die verskillende webwerwe kyk, is jy duidelik 'n uitskieter. Dankie in elk geval vir die resensie.
