It was delicious! Everything needed is there. It was very nice, comfortable, peaceful and environmentally friendly.

Dit was heerlik! Alles wat nodig is, is daar. Dit was baie lekker, gerieflik, rustig en omgewingsvriendelik.

Get to Witsand as soon as possible. Its an experience you won't forget! It was a pleasure staying at Barry's. I immediately felt at home. So thoughtfully put together - everything you need is at hand. Just relax and enjoy Witsand.

A good stay. Everything was good. Well equipped and neat. A plus was the electric blankets on the bed on a very cold weekend. However, I know the description states that a solar powered geyser is used, but a very clear forewarning that you might not have a hot shower available when the weather is mostly overcast and rainy would be appreciated. I hope that this would be seen as the constructive advice that it is intended to be.

Hi Sonja Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay in Witsand. It was a particularly cold weekend and we are very sorry that we forgot to put the electric booster geyser on. It had completely slipped our mind. If you had let us know the water was not hot, we would have switched it on immediately. We hope you will visit Witsand again soon. Kindest Owen and Helen

Quiet, small, manageable. It was great for the two nights, small and manageable. Would appreciate the TV channels being upgraded to DStv channels. The view is beautiful.

Rustig, klein, gemaaklik. Dit was wonderlik vir die twee aande, klein en gemaaklik. Sal waardeer dat die TV-kanale na DStv-kanale opgegradeer word. Die uitsig is pragtig.

Good stay, friendly hosts. Accommodation was an adjustment with a communal kitchen and TV, but at short notice it was affordable.

Verblyf goed, gashere vriendelik. Verblyf goed was 'n aanpassing by 'n gemeenskaplike kombuis en TV, maar op kort kennisgewing was dit bekostigbaar.

Most expensive night I have ever paid for two single beds and a very small place. Although the accommodation was very neat and clean, it is not a guest house. This is purely a "Backpackers" accommodation and was definitely not what I had in mind when booking. I also booked at another place on Stuisbaai and believe me the latter was great.

Duurste nag wat ek nog vir twee enkelbedjies en 'n bitter klein plekkie betaal het. Alhoewel die verblyf baie netjies en skoon was, is dit geen gastehuis nie. Hierdie is suiwer 'n "Backpackers"-verblyf en was beslis nie wat ek in gedagte gehad het toe ek bespreek het nie. Ek het ook bespreek by 'n ander plek op Stuisbaai en glo my laasgenoemde was wonderlik.

Good day Johan Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us - we are delighted that you appreciated the cleanliness, customer service, and security. You booked in during our "high season" - when we have many international kitesurfers/tourists to stay - who consider £700 per night for two guests - with WiFi, communal kitchen, tea/coffee tray, safe parking for cars/boats, and a braai area to be value for money. With the increased costs of running a guest house, it's difficult to provide a private en suite room for less than that. Kind regards Owen and Helen

Goeie dag Johan Baie dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om u verblyf by ons te hersien - ons is verheug dat u die netheid, kliëntediens en sekuriteit waardeer het. Jy het ingeboek gedurende ons "hoogseisoen" - wanneer ons baie internasionale vlieërbranderplankryers/toeriste het om te bly - wat £700 per nag vir twee gaste oorweeg - met WiFi, gemeenskaplike kombuis, tee-/koffieskinkbord, veilige parkeerplek vir motors/bote, en 'n braai-area om waarde vir geld te wees. Met die verhoogde koste om 'n gastehuis te bestuur, is dit moeilik om 'n privaat en suite-kamer vir minder as dit te voorsien. Vriendelike groete Owen en Helen

Pathetic for the money you pay. No, we didn't have a good stay at all. What is offered on the website is not what we got, we had to share a house with other strange people, no safe parking.

Pateties vir die geld wat jy betaal. Nee ons het glad nie lekker gebly nie. Dit wat op die webtuiste aangebied word is nie wat ons gekry het nie, ons moes huisie deel met ander vreemde mense, geen veilige parkering nie.

Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us. The contents came as no surprise to us at all as you were disgruntled on arrival. This is why we very quickly offered to move you to a self-catering cottage with a river view, rather than stay at the private en-suite room you had booked where you had to share a kitchen with two other guests. We offered the cottage at no extra cost to you only because our business objective is to have returning guests (of which we do have many). You chose not to accept our offer to move you and you chose to stay in the en-suite room so we do feel this review is unfair. The website shows exactly how each unit is set up. As for safe parking. Anyone who has ever visited Witsand will know that the whole of Witsand is one safe place to park and enjoy the beach/fishing/kitesurfing destination. You also complain about the rate charged. You booked during the Easter holidays and the rate is always higher than normal during the Easter and Christmas holidays.

Baie dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om u verblyf by ons te hersien. Die inhoud was glad nie vir ons verras nie, aangesien jy ontevrede was met aankoms. Dit is hoekom ons baie vinnig aangebied het om jou na 'n selfsorgkothuis met 'n rivieruitsig te skuif, eerder as om by die privaat en suite-kamer te bly wat jy bespreek het waar jy 'n kombuis met twee ander gaste moes deel. Ons het die kothuis teen geen ekstra koste vir jou aangebied net omdat ons besigheidsdoelwit is om terugkerende gaste te hê (waarvan ons wel baie het). Jy het verkies om nie ons aanbod om jou te skuif te aanvaar nie en jy het gekies om in die en suite-kamer te bly, so ons voel hierdie resensie is onregverdig. Die webwerf wys presies hoe elke eenheid opgestel is. Wat veilige parkering betref. Enigiemand wat Witsand al besoek het, sal weet dat die hele Witsand een veilige plek is om te parkeer en die strand/hengel/vlieërbranderry bestemming te geniet. Jy kla ook oor die tarief wat gehef word. Jy het tydens die Paasvakansie bespreek en die tarief is altyd hoër as normaalweg gedurende die Paas- en Kersvakansie.
