Cosy, private and value for money. It was the ideal getaway after a long day of work. Clean, tidy, cozy and a nice private braai area. The fireplace in the house was very welcome with the few windy and cold days we experienced.

Gesellig, privaat en waarde vir geld. Dit was die ideale wegbreek na 'n lang dag van werk. Skoon, netjies, gesellig en 'n lekker private braai-area. Die kaggel in die huis was baie welkom met die klompie winderige en koue dae wat ons beleef het.

Best family vacation. The area is peaceful and the house has everything one could need. The owners are very helpful. We will definitely book here again.

Beste gesinsvakansie. Die area is rustig en die huis het alles wat 'n mens kan nodig kry. Die eienaars is baie hulpvaardig. Ons sal beslis weer hier bespreek.

Great house, great service. Booking process and communication with the owner was seamless and quick. The owner and rental agents was extremely helpful and always friendly before, during and after our stay. We were 6 adults and 2 kids and everyone had a great time. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The braai area in the courtyard is where we spent most of our time when we were home. The table easily accommodated the entire group with room to spare. The area is slightly protected from the wind which was a bonus.

Nice and quiet, perfect for a weekend getaway or longer. Walking distance to the main beach. Safe for the children. Very nice holiday home.

Mooi en lekker rustig, perfek vir 'n wegbreeknaweek of langer. Loopafstand na die hoofstrand. Veilig vir die kinders. Baie lekker kuierhuis.

An amazing home. This home offers character as you enter it. It draws you in as part of the family and leaves you missing the space and warmth when you leave. Ideal location for a short walk to the most beautiful bay in Africa.

'n Ongelooflike tuiste. Hierdie huis is karaktervol. Dit maak jou deel van die gesin voel en wanneer jy uitklok mis jy die warmte van die huis. Dit is die perfekte ligging vir 'n kort wandeling na die mooiste baai in Afrika.

Fantastic location, walking distance to the sea via private entrance from resort. Nice spacious and cozy living house with an indoor fireplace that works fantastically! It was raining cats and dogs when we were there! Pet-friendly courtyard with grass and cement, very nice for our 2 dogs. Lovely bed in the master bedroom! The cottage needs maintenance: The front door knob has fallen out, probably due to rust. The lady at the rental office sent someone to fix it, but it fell out again the next day. The exterior lights' screws also need to be replaced. It was wonderful to be able to walk to the beach.

Fantastiese ligging, stapafstand van die see via private ingang vanaf oord. Lekker ruim en gesellige leefhuis met 'n binnenshuise kaggel wat fantasties werk! Dit het katte en honde gereën toe ons daar was! Troeteldier-vriendelike binnehof met gras en sement, baie lekker gewees vir ons 2 hondjies. Heerlike bed in die hoofslaapkamer! Die huisie het onderhoud nodig: Die voordeur se knop het uitgeval, seker a.g.v roes. Die dame by die verhuringskantoor het iemand gestuur om dit reg te maak, maar dit het die volgende dag weer uitgeval. Ook die buiteligte se skroewe moet vervang word. Was heerlik om te kon strand toe stap.

So happy you enjoyed your stay, Leon. Come again soon! You're right about the rust as fast as we fix things, another thing gives in to the vicious sea air, but we keep at it. We now see it as rust-ic charm.

So bly jy het jou verblyf geniet, Leon. Kom gou weer! Jy is reg oor die roes so vinnig as wat ons dinge regmaak, 'n ander ding gee toe aan die bose seelug, maar ons hou daaraan. Ons sien dit nou as rustieke sjarme.

Pleasant weekend. Lovely weekend. It's a pity the dishwasher was broken. Thank you for the discount. The fourth bedroom had no warm water and the braai grid needs to be replaced. We bought new ones and left it there.

Aangename naweek gehad. Heerlike naweek. Jammer skottelgoedwasser was stukkend. Dankie vir afslag. Vierde slaapkamer geen warm water en braairoosters ook gedaan. Ons het nuwes gekoop en daar gelos.

Dear Mariette, I appreciate how important a dishwasher is to a holiday experience, but the machine was in for unexpected repairs. I had hoped that the generous discount, and the recommendations for a cleaner, could help you, which I made sure to communicate with you before your arrival. Unfortunately, there was nothing else I could do to change matter. I pride myself on being available to guests 24/7, as are our agents on site. It's a great pity you didn't let us know about your hot water, it was an oversight due to cleaning agency not putting the switch on and we would have remedied it immediately. Unexpected things happen, and I am always more than willing to attend to any issue promptly. It is most unfortunate that we didn't hear of your distress, as our intention is to always please our guests. I am sorry your braai grid was broken, and thank you for leaving a new one. It is greatly appreciated. We have taken steps to ask guests to always bring there own, in line with the rental-policy of other Langezandt homes. The rust at the sea seems to erode them too quickly to keep up with the demand.

Liewe Mariette, Ek waardeer hoe belangrik 'n skottelgoedwasser is vir 'n vakansie-ervaring, maar die masjien was in vir onverwagte herstelwerk. Ek het gehoop dat die ruim afslag, en die aanbevelings vir 'n skoonmaker, jou kon help, wat ek seker gemaak het om met jou te kommunikeer voor jou aankoms. Ongelukkig was daar niks anders wat ek kon doen om saak te verander nie. Ek is trots daarop dat ek 24/7 beskikbaar is vir gaste, so ook ons agente op die perseel. Dit is baie jammer dat jy ons nie van jou warm water laat weet het nie, dit was 'n oorsig weens skoonmaakagentskap wat nie die skakelaar aangesit het nie en ons sou dit dadelik reggemaak het. Onverwagte dinge gebeur, en ek is altyd meer as bereid om dadelik aandag te gee aan enige kwessie. Dit is baie jammer dat ons nie van u nood gehoor het nie, want ons bedoeling is om altyd ons gaste tevrede te stel. Ek is jammer jou braairooster was stukkend, en dankie dat jy 'n nuwe een gelos het. Dit word baie waardeer. Ons het stappe gedoen om gaste te vra om altyd hul eie te bring, in ooreenstemming met die huurbeleid van ander Langezandt-huise. Dit lyk of die roes by die see hulle te vinnig erodeer om by die aanvraag te kan byhou.

Neat and comfortable stay. The accommodation was exactly as expected. Would definitely recommend.

Netjiese en gemaklike verblyf. Die verblyf was presies wat ons verwag het. Sal dit vir seker aanbeveel.
