We had a great time, our first time in Pringle. Beautiful town. Wind is bad! The unit is definitely smaller than it looks in the photos, but has everything you need. For a two-week stay, getting laundry clean is a problem without a washing machine. The 'Laundromat' in town was also overloaded and unable to help. The sun in the afternoon that shines directly on the porch and in the living room is quite bad, 'blinds' or curtains in the living room will help a lot. The outside of the unit needs maintenance, many of the wooden panels on the outside have fallen off (probably blown off) and there are tires littering the garden that must have been rolled out from under the unit by the baboons. The building outside looks untidy. The bin was full after day three and was never emptied, even though we pushed the bin to the road on Thursdays (which we learned was emptying day). At least we were able to take more bags to the dump at the entrance to town to throw away. But the view and sunsets are breathtaking, unit inside is very neat and clean. The hostess always responds quickly to requests and help.

Ons het lekker gekuier, ons eerste keer in Pringle. Pragtige dorp. Wind is erg! Die eenheid is beslis kleiner as wat dit lyk op die foto’s, maar het alles wat nodig is. Vir twee weke verblyf is wasgoed skoonkry 'n probleem sonder 'n wasmasjien. Die 'Laundromat' in die dorp was ook oorlaai en kon nie help nie. Die son in die middag wat direk op stoep en in sitkamer skyn is nogal erg, 'blinds' of gordyne in die sitkamer sal baie help. Die buitekant van die eenheid benodig onderhoud, baie van die houtpanele aan die buitekant het afgeval (sekerlik afgewaai) en daar lê buitebande die tuin vol wat seker deur die bobbejane van onder die eenheid uitgerol is. Die gebou buite lyk onnet. Die asblik was na dag drie vol en is nooit leeggemaak nie, al het ons die asblik tot in die pad gestoot op Donderdae (wat ons verneem het die dag van leegmaak is). Ons kon darem verdere sakke na die stortterrein by die ingang van die dorp neem om weg te gooi. Maar die uitsig en sonsondergange is asemrowend, eenheid binne is baie netjies en skoon. Die gasvrou het baie altyd vinnig reageer op versoeke en hulp.

Dear Reuben Thanks for feedback. The house's maintenance will be renovated, but the outer tires against the dune below the house support the sand with vegetation that over time hides it. Unfortunately, we have no control over the municipal rubbish removal which took place infrequently. There are three laundries in town, but I will mention to the owner that they are needed. Thank you very much

Beste Ruben Dankie vir terugvoer. Die huis se onderhoud sal opgeknap word, maar die buitebande teen die duin onder die huis stut die sand met plantegroei wat mettertyd dit verberg. Oor die munisipale vuilgoed verwydering wat ongereeld plaasgevind het, het ons ongelukkig geen beheer nie. Daar is drie wasserye op die dorp, maar ek sal aan die eienaar noem dat dit nodig is. Baie dankie

The pictures were misleading, the house was much smaller than the pictures suggested. Definitely too small for 7 people, we were only 5 and the space was cramped. The baboons are troublesome, we wanted to relax but literally could not leave a window or door open. So we felt totally caged. The sleeping units make terrible noise when the wind blows because loose panels on the sides. The mattresses on the double beds are not comfortable at all. It's loud and so we didn't have a good night's rest. The shower panel in the one en-suite is gone and so we couldn't use that shower because the floor got soaked. The fact that there are only gas braai facilities is a problem. South Africans barbecue with wood, so it is more suitable for foreigners. No closed grill in the kitchen. Fridge too small for long stay. No television a problem, especially if you go away with your children. We missed the fact that there is no television in the detail. There were no lockable black bins and we had to drive all rubbish away. Otherwise the view was beautiful!

Die foto's was misleidend, die huis was baie kleiner as wat die foto's voorgestel het. Definitief te klein vir 7 mense, ons was net 5 en die spasie was beknop. Die bobbejane is lastig, ons wou ontspan maar kon letterlik nie 'n venster of deur ooplos nie. Dus het ons totaal ingehok gevoel. Die slaapeenhede raas verskriklik as die wind waai a.g.v. los panele op die kante. Die matrasse op die dubbelbeddens is glad nie gerieflik nie. Dit is hard en dus het ons nie 'n goeie nagrus gehad nie. Die stortpaneel in die een en-suite is weg en dus kon ons nie daardie stort gebruik nie want die vloer het sopnat geraak. Die feit dat daar net gasbraaigeriewe is, is 'n probleem. Suid-Afrikaners braai met hout, dus is dit meer geskik vir buitelanders. Geen toemaakbraaibak in die kombuis nie. Yskas te klein vir lang verblyf. Geen televisie 'n probleem, veral as jy saam met jou kinders weggaan. Ons het die feit dat daar geen televisie is nie gemis in die detail. Daar was geen toesluit swart dromme nie en moes ons alle vullis wegry. Andersins was die view beautiful!

Dear Elmare. Sorry that you only saw the negative. We are advertising the house as is with no TV and gas grill. It's a container house so the rooms are obviously not huge. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the view.

Beste Elmare. Jammer dat jul net die negatiewe raakgesien het. Ons adverteer die huis soos is met geen tv en gasbraai. Dis 'n container huis so die kamers is natuurlik nie reusagtig. Darem bly jul het die uitsig geniet.

Fabulous container home. There needs to be blinds at the window above the bath as there is no privacy if people are on the patio. The hot water situation needs to be addressed. Water changes from hot to cold when one is having a shower.

Thank you Gaylene. I will advise the new owners. As for the hot water, unfortunately there is a pressure issue with water in the whole of Pringle Bay and therefore the flame of the gas geyser will fluctuate according to the pressure making the temperature sometimes uneven. We will look at a solution

Dankie Gaylene. Ek sal die nuwe eienaars in kennis stel. Wat die warm water betref, is daar ongelukkig 'n drukprobleem met water in die hele Pringlebaai en daarom sal die vlam van die gasgeiser fluktueer volgens die druk wat die temperatuur soms ongelyk maak. Ons sal kyk na 'n oplossing

Lovely, simple accommodation with beautiful view of beach from deck. The agent, Anneke, also very friendly and helpful. Lovely place. Beautiful view from deck. Dog friendly, however very small 'garden area' with no fence. Only 5 minute walk from beach. Managing agent Anneke very friendly and helpful.

Great value, amazing views, peaceful. Wow, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful ocean view on the balcony and the little grass courtyard overlooking the mountain was a bonus. The house was equipped with everything we required and the books were a bonus. Thank you for sharing the home with us. We really enjoyed our stay.

Stunning location Funky house with views in all directions but the best part: you see the surf from the lounge & kitchen so can 'watch your kids' from the house. Unexpected rain and cold didn't put a damper on things as lovely wood burning stove to keep the place warm.
