Outstanding. We really enjoyed our time in Kassiesbaai. It was just too short. The apartment is a stone's throw from the sea and is clean and tidy. The caretakers are pleasant and made us feel right at home. They were ready to help and directed us to all the great places to eat and where to get fresh seafood and fish. We felt safe and the Kassiesbaaiers were very friendly. Next time we will visit longer.

Uitstekend. Ons het ons tyd baie geniet in Kassiesbaai. Dit was net te kort. Die woonstel is 'n klipgooi van die see af en is skoon en netjies. Die opsigters is aangenaam en het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Hulle was reg om te help en het ons verwys na al die lekker eetplekke en waar om vars seekos en vis te kry. Ons het veilig gevoel en die Kassiesbaaiers was baie vriendelik. Volgende keer gaan ons langer kuier.

Awesome. I was a little sceptical due to previous reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cottage was neat and clean. The caretakers welcomed me at the cottage and were friendly and very helpful. They provided me with towels (which I forgot) and showed me all the nice fishing spots and best places to eat. The view is spectacular and within walking distance from the quaint harbour and the beach. The kitchen had everything and I loved every moment there. The locals were friendly and I felt quite safe in my surroundings. I will definitely be back.

Restful. Unforgettable view. Calming hand. Very cute. Just not sleeping space for 3 adults. But 2. The sofa maybe for a smaller child.

Rustig. Onvergeetlike uitsig. Kalmeerhend. Baie oulik. Net nie slaapplek vir 3 volwassenes nie. Maar 2. Die bank dalk vir 'n kleiner kind.

Very pleasant and peaceful in a very beautiful area. Residence was neat and safe. Bedrooms are a bit small and suggest a sleeper couch in the front room.

Baie aangenaam en rustig in 'n baie mooi gebied. Woonplek was netjies en veilig. Slaapkamers is bietjie klein en stel voor 'n sleeper couch in voorkamer.

Arniston is a delight, not the accommodation. We had a great stay it was just a pity the accommodation was not up to standard, everything was old even the bassinet was falling off the wall, the mattress was terrible and the bedding was old. The place needs a good overall. It was way over budget, and to charge the amount we had to pay per night was a disgrace. I suggest that in the future you inspect a place before settling on a tariff. Another thing to warn all tall persons is that the ceilings in the bedroom and lounge are very low and could cause a head injury. No markings on the taps to indicate hot or cold, water also took forever to heat up.

Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the issue you raised, I would like to clarify a few points. Firstly, our units do not come equipped with bassinets, as this is not a standard feature that we provide. Additionally, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding about the attachment to the wall you mentioned. In terms of the notices, we do have signage indicating the height of bedroom ceilings near the stairs. Due to our proximity to the ocean, there has been some degradation of the hot and cold water indicators. However, we do provide clear instructions in the kitchen to ensure that guests have access to hot water. We understand your concern about the time it takes for hot water to reach the apartment from the geyser, and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay.

Geagte gas, Dankie vir jou terugvoering. Met betrekking tot die kwessie wat jy geopper het, wil ek graag 'n paar punte verduidelik. Eerstens is ons eenhede nie toegerus met bassinets nie, aangesien dit nie 'n standaardfunksie is wat ons verskaf nie. Boonop lyk dit of daar 'n misverstand was oor die hegting aan die muur wat jy genoem het. Wat die kennisgewings betref, het ons wel tekens wat die hoogte van slaapkamerplafonne naby die trappe aandui. As gevolg van ons nabyheid aan die see, was daar 'n mate van agteruitgang van die warm en koue water aanwysers. Ons verskaf egter duidelike instruksies in die kombuis om te verseker dat gaste toegang tot warm water het. Ons verstaan jou kommer oor die tyd wat dit neem vir warm water om die woonstel vanaf die geiser te bereik, en ons is spyt oor enige ongerief wat dit tydens jou verblyf mag veroorsaak het.

Disappointing. We always wanted to live in Kassiesbaai and experience something of the village's character - we have been there before. However, Arniston Cottage was a disappointment: no name on the cottage, no keys to get in, no one to receive us, a barbecue and grill that were not cleaned. It's a lovely house, but the maintenance is not up to standard. We had to go in and out via the sliding door because we didn't get keys until the second day - the sliding door is loose and can't lock. It also doesn't make sense that overseas visitors are given towels, but local visitors have to take their own towels. We were in another house in Kassies Bay too, and it looks beautiful.

Teleurstellend. Ons wou altyd graag in Kassiesbaai tuisgaan en iets van die dorpie se karakter beleef - ons was voorheen ook al daar. Arniston Cottage was egter 'n teleurstelling: geen naam op die huisie, geen sleutels om in te kom, niemand om ons te ontvang, 'n braaiplek en rooster wat nie skoongemaak is nie. Dis 'n lieflike huisie, maar die instandhouding is nie op standaard nie. Ons moes via die skuifdeur in en uitgaan omdat ons eers op die tweede dag sleutels gekry het - die skuifdeur is los en kan nie sluit nie. Dit maak ook nie sin dat oorsese besoekers handdoeke kry, maar plaaslike besoekers eie handdoeke moet neem nie. Ons was in 'n ander huisie in Kassiesbaai ook, en dit lyk pragtig.

Good day, Coenie. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and your dissatisfaction with our place. Our trusted caretakers retired after 15 years of faithful service, and we found it very difficult to find caretakers who could hold a candle to them. Lately we have temporarily used a laundry and cleaning service, but now finally have caretakers again who have been in the accommodation industry for years and who have now taken over. A lot of maintenance has already been done since your visit, and we strive to bring the standard of our accommodation back to where it was in the past. We believe that we will soon be one of the best accommodation establishments in Arniston again. Watch us! Kassiesbaai greetings

Goeie dag, Coenie. Ons vra groot omverskoning vir die ongerief en julle ontevredenheid met ons plekkie. Ons betroubare opsigters het na 15 jaar van getroue diens afgetree, en ons het dit baie moeilik gevind om opsigters te kry wat by hulle kon kers vashou. Ons het die afgelope tyd tydelik gebruik gemaak van 'n laundry and cleaning service, maar het nou uiteindelik weer opsigters wat al jare in die akkommodasiebedryf is en wat nou oorgevat het. Daar is reeds baie instandhouding gedoen sedert julle besoek, en ons streef om weer die standaard van ons akkommodasie te bring na waar dit was in die verlede. Ons glo dat ons binnekort weer een van die beste akkommodasie instansies in Arniston sal wees. Hou ons dop! Kassiesbaai groete

It was quiet but did not feel safe after our incident. We initially had a good time at the Arniston Cottage, but on our last evening there was a break-in into our car. There was no prior notification about the safety of our vehicle that could be compromised. This incident left a bitter taste of our stay at the cottage as we did not feel safe afterwards.
