Nice place.
Ambleside se terugvoer
The pool and Jacuzzi are heated with solar panels. If it is sunny we can heat the Jacuzzi in about an hour. The pool needs 3 days of hot sunshine to heat it as it is so much bigger. The pool gets cleaned every morning but with lots of people using it the water gets cloudy and has to be flocked which I can only do when the guests have left

Very pleasant and relaxing.
Ambleside se terugvoer
Thank you for your lovely review. We don't allow music and partying so that keeps the place quiet for families with children and contractors who have to go to work the next day. We use Whatsapp to keep in touch with guests before they arrive and to send them a pin-drop location.

No hot water the whole weekend to shower.
Ambleside se terugvoer
Good day,
If the gas runs out the geyser does not work. You have to change the bottle.
It was never mentioned to me about it not working.
The noise was not the issue. The kids were screaming and the parents had no control over them.
Kind regards,

Fantastic getaway.

Thank you for the nice review.
The lovely beach on the Indian Ocean is 80 m away and except for some guys fishing, you will have the beach to yourselves.

Jeffrey M - Jul 2021

Was a good and quiet stay.
Ambleside se terugvoer
Jeffrey had 4 adults and The Studio that they booked was too small for them. We gave them a bigger apartment for no extra cost as one was available at the time.

Ons dink 8 uit 10.
Ambleside se terugvoer
The apartments are cleaned before guests come and after they leave and we provide a brush and mop etc for guests own use during their stay.
If there is load shedding we always tell guests when it is and provide lamps. Guests can still use the internet as the main router is on an inverter. Cooking and showering are unaffected by loadsheding as they are gas.
The compressor in one of the fridges had packed in possibly due to loadshedding. The guests had a big fridge / freezer and a smaller fridge to use instead

Overall it is a nice place to break free. We will be back.

Hi Wanda.
Thank you for your suggestions and hope to see you in the future.
Yes, the drain can get blocked with sand after people go to the beach and shower. We have a plunger to unblock it in a few seconds.
The water supplier says the water meets all SANS standards but we give free bottled water to our guests. They just have to return the used bottle to get a fresh one.
Storms and Loadshedding do disrupt our power supply.
The units are not serviced unless you book for longer than a week and then we change your bedding and clean your apartment halfway through. There is a brush and mop in your apartment to clean up if you want.
The gas geyser did break and it was fixed a few hours later. The guests used our shower as an emergency.
Jessica S - Okt 2020
Algehele gradering
Worst stay ever. Don't book here.
Lees meerAmbleside se terugvoer
Hi Jessica
Yes, I would agree that your stay was not good. Our guests left late on the day you arrived and although one apartment was ready and the ground floor of the other one was ready, you had to wait an hour for the bedrooms. I gave you two hours extra for checkout to compensate.
We have septic tanks in our town and found out after you left that the pipe was blocked
We don't have air-con but have ceiling fans. At this time of year it is not hot. You had 4 tv's. The Jacuzzi is solar powered. If it is not sunny we can't heat it. We use the same wi-fi as you and didn't notice any issues but you was a big group so if many people use at the same time it will be slow
The shower is powered by gas. If the gas runs out then the shower is cold so we have to change the bottle.
You have 3 fridges and they all work perfectly but if you fill them with drinks and food, it will take time to cool down. You have to turn them on yourself.
Before you came you was aware that we do not allow music and partying.
If you want to come again in a weekday for a few days when it is quiet, you can have the South Wing for free

Huis weg van die huis af.

Thank you for the nice review, Michelle. I find it amazing different groups stay in the same apartments, but have totally different opinions on them.

Die area is stil, skoon en veilig.
Ambleside se terugvoer
You were 8 adults and 2 children in the group and were charged R150 per person per night during a national holiday weekend. Our local backpackers charge R220 per person per night for a dormitory bed. The apartment has one bathroom and an extra toilet on the ground floor, so those in the attic bedroom have to walk down two flights of stairs to get to the bathroom at night. You choose to take just one apartment rather than take two to cut down on cost.

We have built new entertainment areas that we have not advertised yet. They are very popular. The Studio is away from the pool and is very private.

Baie basies, het heelwat meer verwag.
Ambleside se terugvoer
Alicia booked the East Wing for 2 adults and 2 children. The East Wing is a huge 3 story house that has beds for 12 people. On arrival they asked if their friends could join them and a few hours later they turned up. There was no mention of this before they arrived. I charged them R150 per person per night extra for this. If privacy was wanted, then why invite others to share your apartment. The pool and garden are shared by all guests. The fitted cupboards, beds and dressing table in the main bedroom were made to measure by a local carpentry firm. Our gardener cuts the grass when it needs cutting but tries not to disturb the guests with the lawnmower.

Foto's en informasie is misleidend en glad nie wat ons verwag het nie.
Lees meerAmbleside se terugvoer
I was surprised when I saw this review. Paula and her family stayed in the East Wing. It is a huge 3 story house and there are 2 sets of steps which comply with building regulations and have a handrail. Not recommended for toddlers though. We are 80 m from a lovely beach. The photos are our beach and not Port Shepstone. The solar panels work perfectly and heat the pool up by about 2 degrees a day as long as we have bright sunshine. You simply cannot heat that amount of water quickly on one day of sunshine. The Jacuzzi can be heated up quicker, but it still needs sunshine. We do have Playstations; the guests just have to ask for them as they are expensive and we don't leave them in the apartments anymore. They didn't ask. Check-in time is after 2.00 pm. If you come earlier than you may have to wait until we have finished cleaning from the previous guests. Our bedding is clean and either a comforter or duvet with cover. Guests have a TV in each room; one of which is full DSTV. We don't offer maid service, you have to cook your own food, bring your own towels etc. We give you the keys and show you around. We are always here if you need us though. We have 4 braai stands, two of which are made by cutting a geyser in half; they are huge. Yes, we don't have a sea view as there are trees in the way. Paula gave us 1 star for security. Her apartment had is own alarm system, patio doors had nightlocks, as well as a door alarm and security lock, all internal doors had locks and keys, they had a safe, all downstairs windows had strong bars and all glass in the windows was toughened. There are also security cameras, a high wall around the house with spikes on top and a remote gate and a very alert Border Collie and we live in a low crime village.

It's a great place to be is if you need peace of mind and listing to the sea.

The private beach is a 40-seconds' walk away. The public beach is a 5-minute walk away with a kiosk, lifeguards, more people etc. We like it to be peaceful.

Heel lekker gewees.
Ambleside se terugvoer
The North Wing is the older part of the original house. All the other apartments are extensions and are relatively new. The bathroom does have an extractor fan. The pool and Jacuzzi are solar heated. If the sun is shining they can get warm; the Jacuzzi can be especially hot.

Teleurgesteld!
Lees meerAmbleside se terugvoer
Dear Margie,
The main issue you had was your husband is claustrophobic and the main bedroom didn't have any opening windows; just a patio door and glass door. It did have a ceiling fan but he wanted air conditioning. The second bedroom had opening windows but he said the bedroom was too small. I offered you The Studio, a bedroom in our part of the house or a refund (minus the deposit) but none was acceptable. I tried hard to accommodate you.
The bathroom has an extractor fan.
The sandy beach is a 40 second walk away. It is normally deserted except for a few fishermen or some people taking their dogs out. You can have the beach to yourselves with few other people around and you can swim although there are no lifeguards. The public beach is a 5 minute walk away.
We charge R50 for dogs and extra guests. If we didn't charge we would be over run with dogs and visitors coming in and out.
The screw on the shower tap was undone. It took me two minutes to screw it back. You never mentioned about it.
Yes the second bedroom is small but it does have two single beds (or one king sized bed) and only your mum was in there.
We charged you R276 a night per person for 3 adults and 2 dogs over a holiday weekend. You had 2 tv's, full DSTV, free wi-fi and a solar heated pool and Jacuzzi with secure parking for your car
