Excellent. Next we would want to stay longer. It was too short.

Charming and cozy cottage with a wonderful host. A Stones Throw Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was the most beautiful little cottage, clean, tidy and the most perfect host, always at the end of the phone if we had any queries. This was our first time travelling to South Africa and we felt very safe in the area, and it was ideally located. A Stones Throw Cottage was in a quiet location and only a 5-minute walk to the shops and beach. If you are looking to stay in Fish Hoek, I would highly recommend staying at A Stones Throw Cottage.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Clean, central, safe. Very nice cottage close to the beach and grocery stores. We felt at home and safe from the beginning. Very good communication with the owner. Price/value is unbeatable.

Terrible experience. What a terrible experience. The location and accommodation were lovely (except for the fact that there were no blinds or curtains to cover the sliding doors and glass front of the house, making you feel exposed), but all of this was rendered null and void by the poor level of service received from the host. Upon arrival, the place was in a complete mess, as it had not been cleaned after the last guests had left. I called the website as it seemed that people were still staying there. The host did apologize multiple times, but it did not seem sincere at all, as she kept complaining that she had to clean because she couldn’t get hold of the cleaner. She also mentioned that she was not feeling well, but this is not an acceptable excuse. Shockingly, she even cursed at the website representative on the phone, claiming that they hadn’t informed her that guests were arriving. I find this hard to believe, as we always receive constant communication from the website. We did not feel welcome at all. In fact, we were made to feel as though our presence was a burden. We waited in the driveway, in the car, while she cleaned, as we had arrived after 4 PM. After she finished cleaning and told us we could enter, I checked the place again and saw that the inside of the fridge had still not been cleaned—there was half-eaten fish and chips, among other things. I called to her over the fence, and her response was, “Oh God, what now?” When I told her there were still things in the fridge, she handed a packet over the high fence and said, "Just put it in there. It's not a big deal. I tried my best." Her "best" was not good enough. My family did not feel comfortable for the entire stay. We wanted to leave but were forced to stay as no suitable alternative could be provided, and we were expected to pay extra to be relocated. I would not recommend this place.

Glad nie positief nie. Die plekkie is pragtig ingerig en het al die basiese fasiliteite. Ons het Vrydagmiddag gearriveer en gesien die toilet se water styg nadat mens die toilet getrek het, maar omdat dit weer afgesak het daarna, het ons gedink dis dalk maar hoe die toilet werk. Teen 10 uur die aand wou die water egter nie meer afsak nie en het ons besef die toilet is geblok. Ons wou nie die eienaar so laat pla nie en ek het die volgende oggend vir haar 'n boodskap gestuur. Sy het my daarna gebel en gesê dat daar niks fout was met die toilet nie en dat dit net kan gebeur as mens te veel toiletpapier gebruik. Ek het haar verseker dat ons dit nie gedoen het nie en dat ons nou 'n probleem het wat uitgesorteer moes word. Sy het allerhande verskonings gehad van hoe besig sy is en dat dit te duur is om 'n loodgieter op 'n Saterdag te laat uitkom. Toe ons vir haar sê dat ons betaal vir die akkommodasie en sy die probleem sal moet uitsorteer, was sy nog steeds nie gelukkig om iets daaraan te doen nie. Ons vier volwassenes moes na die winkelsentrum toe ry om die toilet daar te gebruik. Ons het selfs aangebied dat ons die toilet self sal probeer regmaak as sy 'n plunger sou bring. Sy het eventually 'n loodgieter laat kom en die toilet was teen 3 nm weer in 'n werkende toestand. Dit het gevoel asof sy ons blameer vir die geblokte toilet en sy was geensins simpatiek teenoor die dilemma nie. Ek is net dankbaar dat sy dit uiteindelik wel uitgesorteer het. Ons het ongeveer 11 uur die aand van 'n troue afgekom en my man het die 2 voertuie omgeruil omdat die ander egpaar vroeg die volgende oggend sou ry. Hy was skaars terug in die woonstel toe sy deur die muur skree dat ons die hek oop vergeet het. Ons het glad nie welkom op haar perseel gevoel nie en sal die blyplek glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Baie lekker. Alles was 100%. Ek het die tyd baie geniet. Die braaifasiliteit was baie mooi en die ligging buite perfek.

We had a marvellous time. The atmosphere was vey chilled and nice, we could relax and enjoy a peaceful weekend. It was amazing! We loved the atmosphere a lot.

Cosy and chic. Ons was baie beīndruk met die plek en sal weer gaan.

Stylvol, privaat. Huis is toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het en dis stil en privaat en lekker braai geriewe. Bie naby aan alle winkels. Ons het baie lekker gekuier en sal beslis weer graag daar oorbly. Dankie Noula.

Beautiful, well-kept cottage. A beautiful, clean and cosy little cottage in close proximity to the beach and amenities.
