Most beautiful nature, best adventure. It was our first time in the Transkei, and it was the best holiday yet. Having miles of beach all to ourselves was great. We could enjoy the wonder every day, without the interference of technology. The most beautiful sunrises and sunsets every day. We were also spoiled with fat cake, pot bread, freshly baked bread, fresh fish and seafood. John also accompanied my husband fishing for 2 days. The 2 hour horse ride was the highlight for me, accompanied by locals, we traveled the beach to Silver bay. The people of the Transkei are just different, they just want to share and smile, and everyone waves when you drive or walk past them. Even the road there is adventure in its own, which we thoroughly enjoyed (just dare it with a 4x4 instead) Thank you Barry and your people, we will definitely come again, and never forget the holiday.

Mooiste natuur, beste avontuur. Dit was ons eerste keer in die Transkei, en dit was die beste vakansie nog. Om km's strand net vir ons te gehad het, was wonderlik. Ons kon elke dag die wonderskoon geniet, sonder inmeng van tegnologie. Die mooiste sonopkomste en sonondergange elke dag. Ons was ook bederf met vetkoek, potbrood, varsgebakte brood, vars vis en seekos. John het my man ook 2 dae vergesel om vis te vang. Die perdryrit van 2 ure was vir my die hoogtepunt, begelei deur locals, het ons die strand tot by Silver bay gereis. Die mense van die Transkei is net anders, hulle wil net deel en glimlag, en almal waai as jy verby hul ry of loop. Selfs die pad soontoe is avontuur op sy eie, wat ons terdeë geniet het (durf dit net eerder aan met 'n 4x4) Dankie Barry en jou mense, ons sal beslis weer kom, en nooit die vakansie vergeet nie.

We had a wonderful break at Transkei beach cottages. Barry is a great host and his dogs are just as hospitable - taking us on guided walks on the beach every morning and easily accepting my furry baby into their home. With the natural beauty of the coastline and the idyllic setting, it was easy to quickly forget the hustle of city living and embrace the simple pleasures of life. We will definitely visit again!

Hello Yoko (Ono) and family. If we could have guests like you guys, all the time, it would be wonderful. Thanks for visiting our little place in the sun. You made the most of your holiday and it's so nice to see such a close knit family. Please come again and thanks for the great review

Hallo Yoko (Ono) en familie. As ons heeltyd gaste soos julle kon hê, sou dit wonderlik wees. Dankie dat jy ons klein plekkie in die son besoek het. Jy het die meeste van jou vakansie gemaak en dis so lekker om so 'n hegte gesin te sien. Kom asseblief weer en dankie vir die goeie resensie

Absolute Bliss! Most beautiful, unspoiled place in the world. Cottage is simple but has everything you need. Location is perfect. Hosts are lovely including the very friendly, playful Bulmastive, Max! Amazing walks, swimming beaches, rock pools and fresh seafood. Only downfall. 1 week is not enough!

One in a million! Being part of the Transkei was a privilege in itself. We slept with the doors open every night and felt safe. The beaches were clean and the fishing was a pleasure. Barry the owner went out of his way to help us. John or "Lucky John" had been our guide for 5 days and he was excellent. We will be back again.

Om deel te wees van die Transkei was 'n voorreg op sy eie. Ons het elke aand met die deure oop geslaap en veilig gevoel. Die strande was skoon en die hengel was 'n plesier. Barry die eienaar het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te help. John of "Lucky John" was ons guide gewees vir 5 dae en hy was uitstekend. Ons sal weer terug wees.

Would love to give a good review, but unfortunately we can't. Even though the host is such a nice guy, the pictures are very misleading and outdated. Probably fine for a "rough it up" fishing trip, but not for a family with young children such as ourselves. It was a constant battle to keep our toddler from running through the multiple dog poo landmines.

Thanks for your review Wiehan. I am terribly sorry about the dog faeces. Had you told me earlier, I would have attended to it. Good luck with your expected child.

Absolutely fantastic! Can't find a better place where you are surrounded by the most beautiful nature. One can just relax, your animals are welcome and the host has taken care of every need. The tranquility, the natural beauty, the beach that stretches into the distance is all you need to completely clear your head.

Absoluut fantasties! Kan nie 'n beter plek kry waar jy omring word deur die mooiste natuur nie. 'n Mens kan net ontspan, jou diere is welkom en die gasheer het na elke behoefte omgesien. Die rustigheid, die natuurskoon, strand wat tot in die verte strek, is alles wat jy nodig het om heeltemal jou kop skoon te kry.

Thank you for your excellent feedback Annelie. You two and your dog children were model guests and we hope to see you again soon Good luck with your preparation for the big V. People like you fight on the front lines to give us all a better future and it goes unnoticed but we really appreciate it.

Dankie vir jou uitstekende terugvoer Annelie. Julle twee en julle honde kinders was model gaste en ons hoop om julle gou weer te sien Sterkte met jul voorbereiding op die groot V. Mense soos julle veg in die voorste lienies om vir ons almal n beter toekoms te gee en dit word nie raakgesien nie maar ons waardeer dit opreg.

The most idyllic spot for a complete break from everyday life. We had a wonderful 10 days at Transkei beach cottage. The proximity to the beach is awesome. The sea was so loud that it took a few days to get used to its roar. The cottage itself is very rustic. We were unlucky that it was very windy while we were there and the living area is very exposed. When the wind died down, it was magical.
