Awesome. It was an incredibly nice place. Would definitely recommend it. Have a nice rest and a nice visit.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike lekker plekkie. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel. Lekker gerus en lekker gekuier.

Delightful little spot. We had the best time in this lovely home. Our second time booking here. Fishing was such a joy as the river is right in front of us. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful location and fantastic view. Not much to do in the town itself if fishing or swimming is not an option. The house itself is very basic, but comfortable and clean. Hot water is not always available, so we planned our showers carefully. All said in summary above.

Visit with parents. There were a few corners that needed cleaning and the downstairs bathroom is much nicer than we expected. The view and tranquility were perfect for a nice break.

Kuier saam met ouers. Daar was 'n paar hoekies wat skoonmaak kort en die onderste badkamer is baie knapper as wat ons verwag het. Die uitsig en rustigheid was perfek vir 'n lekker wegbreek.

Our stay was enjoyable. It is a rustic cottage with a beautiful view.

The view was lovely. Felt like we were staying at an old school holiday house. Nothing fancy, but everything you need. Simple yet effective. A great view. Dog friendly and quite private. Better suited to summertime but indoor fireplace made it cosy.

We had a lovely stay because we chose to make it so. The accommodation other than the location wasn't great. The positioning of Waterford is its saving grace which is a pity as I believe it could be one of the best self-catering units out there if some care and much due maintenance was carried out. Some niceties that are present at other places were missing. Spare toilet paper other than just what's on the holder. Candles and holders for loadshedding. A flashlight. Salt and pepper basics. A watering can to catch water while waiting for the water to get hot. A lot of fuss is made about recycling, but the little things were missing. Soap in the showers. The towels were small and very old. The main bed's mattress is completely finished and the bed frame is loose and flimsy. Both my partner and I are in need of a chiropractor after spending 3 very uncomfortable nights in it. The whole place was dusty and we were disappointed in the overall cleanliness of the apartment on arrival. The TV is mounted in a very non-user-friendly place that we both found baffling. The outside plastic chairs were broken. The cement outside bench is broken. The portable braai needs a base and grid. It's sad that such a lovely place with so much potential has been left to run down so badly. A good cleanup and maintenance plan should be undertaken before renting it out again.

Good day Walter, Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay in Witsand. We are delighted that you enjoyed the views of the Breede river. We manage ten holiday homes in Witsand, they are all self-catering which means we supply the initial consumables. This is standard practice with all self-catering accommodation. We also supply several load shedding light bulbs in the house, a gas hob and a soon-to-be-fitted battery pack for WiFi. There are liquid soap dispensers in all bathrooms. We try hard to practice sustainable tourism practices which is why we ask all our guests to please recycle. We are not sure why you found the bed uncomfortable as a new mattress was invested in less than a year ago. However, we will look into it and most likely remove the current base. A new smart TV was also invested in, this is located in the living room near the fireplace. We have not had any complaints before about where it is placed but will have a look at that and modify if necessary. During Witsand’s high season it is very difficult to get time to do maintenance jobs as Waterford is just about booked the whole time - mostly by returning guests who love this charming , simple , private and budget rate cottage. However, it is just about end of season now and we will have the time to address all the complaints you have made. The couch in the lounge will also be upgraded shortly. Plus a deep clean has been scheduled for next week.

Goeie dag Walter, Baie dankie dat jy die tyd geneem het om jou verblyf in Witsand te hersien. Ons is verheug dat jy die uitsig oor die Breederivier geniet het. Ons bestuur tien vakansiehuise in Witsand, hulle is almal selfsorg wat beteken dat ons die aanvanklike verbruiksgoedere verskaf. Dit is standaardpraktyk met alle selfsorgverblyf. Ons verskaf ook verskeie beurtkrag-gloeilampe in die huis, 'n gaskookplaat en 'n batterypak wat binnekort aangebring sal word vir WiFi. Daar is vloeibare seephouers in alle badkamers. Ons probeer hard om volhoubare toerismepraktyke te beoefen en daarom vra ons al ons gaste om asseblief te herwin. Ons is nie seker hoekom jy die bed ongemaklik gevind het nie, aangesien 'n nuwe matras minder as 'n jaar gelede belê is. Ons sal egter daarna kyk en heel waarskynlik die huidige basis verwyder. Daar is ook in 'n nuwe slim-TV belê, dit is in die sitkamer naby die kaggel geleë. Ons het nie voorheen enige klagtes gehad oor waar dit geplaas is nie, maar sal daarna kyk en wysig indien nodig. Gedurende Witsand se hoogseisoen is dit baie moeilik om tyd te kry om instandhoudingswerk te doen, want Waterford is omtrent heeltyd bespreek - meestal deur terugkerende gaste wat van hierdie bekoorlike, eenvoudige, privaat en goedkoop kothuis hou. Dit is egter nou net oor die einde van die seisoen en ons sal die tyd hê om al die klagtes wat jy gemaak het aan te spreek. Die rusbank in die sitkamer sal ook binnekort opgegradeer word. Boonop is 'n diep skoonmaak geskeduleer vir volgende week.

Stay was amazing! I can highly recommend Waterford. Great location for fishermen at popular jetty and close to restaurant if you don't feel like cooking, walking distance to popular market.

Verblyf was amazing! Ek kan Waterford sterk aanbeveel. Wonderlike ligging vir vissermanne by gewilde jetty en naby restaurant as jy nie lus het om kos te maak, stapafstand van gewilde markie.

It was delicious for 2 people. Would just like more than 1 towel each for 7 days. 1 per person was far too little. Our ashes will go back anytime. I'm recovering from back surgery and was able to lie on the couch in the living room and look out over the river, which at least gave me a vacation feeling.

Dit is heerlik vir 2 mense gewees. Sou net graag meer as 1 handdoek elk vir 7 dae wou hê. 1 per persoon was ver te min. Ons as sal enige tyd teruggaan. Ek is besig om van 'n rugoperasie te herstel en kon lekker in die sitkamer op die bank le en oor die rivier uitkyk wat my ook ten minste 'n vakansie gevoel gegee het.

Unbelievable location. Well equipped holiday home with unbelievable views of Breeder river, although it is a well lived in, unit is clean and has all the amenities one requires on holiday, stairs to upstairs room not suited for elderly guests.
