Ok, not value for money. The stay was difficult, the double beds became a problem as we needed single beds. The one toilet is elevated, which is odd. The field opposite the unit was not explained and posed a risk to all the guys' tackle, so everything had to be locked indoors. There were vagrants walking past the vehicles on arrival.

Dear Michael, I'm sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. I'm very surprised and shocked because during your stay with us and in the correspondence with your chairman after you left nothing or no concerns were ever raised. In fact, according to your club chairman, everybody enjoyed their stay and another booking was made for 15 - 17 Nov which is now definitely cancelled. Also in the past six years we've had many club and provincial fishing teams, canoe marathon teams, and netball teams staying with us and nobody has ever had any issues or complaints, in fact, some teams stay here every year. The fact that you had to "lock away" your fishing tackle well that is a personal choice and was absolutely unnecessary We never advertised 16 single beds and when you made this booking, it was discussed and you were happy. Maybe in future, you should look at booking 16 single hotel rooms, or maybe look at renting out a school dorm. Elevated toilets are actually a common thing and is there to help elderly or disabled people with mobility issues. The vagrants that you mention, is also a very disturbing statement as we've never ever had any problems in this area. There are only three houses in this residential street and in fact, the people that walked in the road were actually our neighbours and their respective visitors trying to get to their cars that were parked outside seeing that your "visitors", with their 7 additional cars parked all over the street. Also, the same visitors who just without asking left their dog in the enclosed swimming pool area for the whole day. And we are not a pet-friendly establishment. The "open" field is actually a wetland and a conservation area and belongs to the Dept of Environmental Affairs, because of the flamingos and rich bird life. The road travelling through the wetland is used to go to the golf course. I suggest that in future when you make a booking on behalf of your club, you look at what your needs are and then book accordingly. We wish you all the best for the rest of your fishing season.

It was the best weekend ever. The aunt of the place was the friendliest, we felt so at home, I will definitely go again and again.

Dit was die beste naweek ooit. Die tannie van die plek was die vriendelikste, ons het so tuis gevoel, ek sal vir seker weer en weer gaan.

Nice and quiet, neat. Beautiful place. The owners received us well. Suitable for a group getaway as a family or people who know each other well and are not too keen on too much privacy, the place sleeps 16 in total, 4 rooms and the rest is open plan. Note: It's in a residential area so noise should be kept to a minimum. Swimming pool can also only be used between 8:00 and 20:00. Neat and nice for rest and break away from the city.

Lekker rustig, netjies. Pragtige plekkie. Die eienaars het ons goed ontvang. Geskik vir 'n groep wat wegbreek as 'n familie of mense wat mekaar goed ken en nie te ingestel is op te veel privaatheid nie, die plek slaap 16 in totaal, 4 kamers en die res is open plan. Let wel: Dis in 'n woonbuurt so geraas moet minimaal gehou word. Swembad kan ook net tussen 8:00 en 20:00 gebruik word. Netjies en lekker vir rus en wegbreek uit die stad.

Not at all what we expected. Penguin's profile picture was not taken at Penguin. We expected the view, and we were very disappointed to see a half-built house and a piece of field or marsh. We received the rules for the stay after we paid. We thought that the people must have had very bad experiences in the past and experienced the rules as extremely antagonistic. After the payment we had to pay a breakage deposit in terms of the rules. I don't believe anything in the place was worth R500. There was e.g. no candles for power, we had to take our own towels and there was no hand washing soap either. The living area had 2 double beds in it and it was very impersonal. If you compare the cost per night with, for example, a night at Namakwa National Park or at Vanrhynsdorp, it is not value for money.

Glad nie wat ons verwag het nie. Pikkewyn se profiel foto is nie by Pikkewyn geneem nie. Ons het die uitsig verwag, en ons was baie teleurgesteld om 'n half geboude huis en 'n stuk veld of vlei te sien. Ons het die reëls vir die verblyf ontvang na ons betaal het. Ons het gedink dat die mense baie slegte ondervindings in die verlede moes gehad het en het die reëls as uiters antagonisties beleef. Na die betaling moes ons in terme van die reëls 'n breekskadedeposito betaal het. Ek glo nie iets in die plek was R500 werd nie. Daar was bv. nie kerse vir beurt krag nie, ons moes ons eie handoeke neem en daar was ook nie handewasseep nie. Die leefarea het 2 dubbelbeddens in gehad en dit was baie onpersoonlik. As mens die koste per nag vergelyk met byvoorbeeld 'n nag by Namakwa Nasionale Park of by Vanrhynsdorp is dit nie waarde vir geld nie.
