Baie lekker plek maar moet dalk se dat die aircon se krag self gekoop moet word.

Very nice place but may have to say that the power of the aircon has to be bought yourself.
There is also no place to dispose of the garbage bags. And the alarm doesn't work as said either. But otherwise very pleasant.

Calamari 9 's response
Hi Jano,
Dankie vir jou terugvoering.
Die lugversorging word op die webblad verduidelik soos hieronder, so jy jet dit seker nie gesien nie.
"Let op dat die lugversorging van 'n voorafbetaalde meter gebruik maak en dat dit deur die gas aangevul moet word indien dit gebruik word."
Die alarm werk, maar die een zone was blykbaar tydens jou verblyf, foutief. Die alarm is intussen reggemaak.
In die gaste boekie is daar n verduideliking waar swart sakke gesit moet word, en dit is in die kamer langs die hek.
Dankie dat julle by ons gebly het en hoop om julle weer te sien.
Groete,
Mandy.

Everything you need is there and you can just take a few steps and you are on the beach. The perfect place if you don't want to drive around or have to carry everything with you on busy beaches. The beach, sea, rocks and walking area are just a few steps away from the braai and stoep.

Calamari 9 was opreg 'n lekker plekkie om te bly. Dit het 100% volle see-uitsig en is letterlik by die strand. Ek was baie beïndruk met die verblyf en waardeer dat ons ons twee yorkies kon vat. Ons het dit baie geniet en lekker gerus. Baie dankie Calamari 9. Ek sal beslis voorstel en beplan klaar om volgende jaar weer daar te gaan bly. Vir nou wag ek net vir die terugbetaling van die breekskadedeposito.

Very peaceful atmosphere. Literally a few steps from the beach with the most beautiful green lawn between the apartment and the beach. Dassies hang out every day on the lawn in front of the apartment with a little blue diver that makes its appearance every now and then. Apartment is very well equipped. One of the nicest accommodations we've had on vacation.

With this sea on your porch, we had a wonderful stay!
Attention to detail is superb. We felt right at home as soon as we stepped in. Would recommend to any visitor and stay there again myself. Instead of stacked mattresses, replace them with a bunker bed. Air conditioning in the kitchen did not work well. The kitchen contains everything one needs in a self-catering unit. The view from this apartment is beautiful and sunsets and sunrises are beautiful. We certainly had a good time! See you next time.

Hi Eugene,
You booked at Calamari 9, and we moved you to a larger unit, unit 11, as unit 9 was undergoing maintenance.
You advised that our customer service needs to be improved, so I have e-mailed you in order to gain a better understanding of what we should have done to make your experience more enjoyable.
We appreciate your feedback as it assists us to be better so that our guests’ expectations are met.
Thanks and regards,

A stone's throw to the beach.
Calamari 9 is perfectly located, you can sit on the porch and watch the waves break, or walk a few steps to get your feet wet in the sea. The apartment is equipped with everything you need to bake and brew to your heart's content. Everything was clean and tidy and animal-friendly, so your best friend can come too! My elderly parents struggled a bit with the stairs between the living area and the bedrooms, but younger legs will be able to handle the ups and downs easily!

It was everything we needed with the ocean right here on your doorstep.
It's a very well equipped unit. Games for children, DStv and fully equipped kitchen. Very conveniently close to the sea. Very convenient for the older guard who would like to walk along the beach. All that's bad is that there are an awful lot of rocks, the children can't just splash here where the waves break, because you don't know where there are rocks everywhere. All that is bad is the parking. Especially if you own a Hyundai bus that is too high for the garage and there is no room for your trailers or a turnaround. One has to drive at the most sloping rear. But would recommend the unit to anyone who wants to live 50 yards from the sea sand/beach and where you can hear the waves breaking so clearly and who likes long walks along the sea. Picked up nice shells.

Calamari 9 's response
Hi Andre,
To be fair, you were supposed to check out at 09:00 on the 22nd of December 2019. We tried calling you so many times and you had gone out and left the phone inside the unit. We had another guest arriving at 14:00, and I was panicking as I could not get hold of you. As a matter of fact I had to pay for the guest to stay at another unit, at my own cost, for the night, as they could not check into this unit on that afternoon.
The apartment was left in a terrible state, and I suppose it was because you were in a rush to leave and you probably couldn't clean it properly. You also never asked for any other accommodation, so if you had asked I could have perhaps assisted you, but I didn't know. I also had no idea how long you needed to travel, so I apologize for your inconvenience, but you really need to check your departure dates in future when making a booking.
Regards,
Mandy.

What a lovely holiday at one of the best self-catering units we have ever stayed at. We had a great stay in Calamari 9 and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a quiet beach without the crowds. The unit is fully equipped and one can see that effort has been made to make you feel at home away from home, absolutely nothing was missing and the barbecue area is lovely with a beautiful view of the sea and the beach which is literally on your doorstep, especially with teenagers who want to go to the sea and back shortly. I would book it again anytime, good value for money, well located near the other main beaches, safe and very quiet.
