Truly truly amazing. It was absolutely wonderful. Suki and Taki are our Chinsta mom and dad. They truly did make us feel like one of their kids. Our room had complementary coffee and tea and even rusks. They even provided us with insect repellent to prevent the mosquitoes from turning us into a buffet. The accommodation is not self-catering, but that doesn't mean you cannot bring along a takeaway. If you need anything, Suki and Taki are ready to accommodate you (be it some ice, more milk or even some fridge space). We brought along some cheese for a cheese board, and Suki makes an amazing and affordable breakfast (and a killer cup of coffee, as well as freshly squeezed orange juice) that kept us full until suppertime. No TV? No problem! Our hosts were kind enough to let us use their home for a murder mystery and a sip and paint session. They have such a beautiful home, with the most amazing views that make you want to pack your screen away. It's also a 5-minute walk to the beach and the shops and some of the local restaurants. They were also kind enough to recommend some of the best places for us to take walks and grab food. Overall, 158 on Marlin was a wonderful experience. A home away from home in Chinsta.

Wow Margo, We are blushing with pride at your most generous review. You were such wonderful and fun guests to have in our home, and we never felt that you intruded at any time. It was great to hear laughter and to have you experience our little village. Thank you so much for your kind words and the trouble that you went to, to give us this fabulous review. You are both so welcome at any time, and we do hope that we will have the privilege of hosting you again in the not too distant future. Kind regards and lots of love! And thank you again.

Will definitely stay there again. Absolutely amazing! We stayed in a really lovely room with en-suite (divine shower). The bed was wonderful and I was welcomed like an old friend.

Welcoming, friendly, beautiful and warm. The host is so welcoming and friendly. Such a beautiful soul, including her dog. I fell in love with the garden, and her home is amazing. I would have preferred an ensuite bedroom though, but overall, a pleasant, great stay.

Hi Selina Many thanks for your kind words. We are very grateful for the generous reviews. Unfortunately, with the fact that we use various booking platforms, we are unable to change rooms booked, so that would explain not having an en-suite bathroom. Once again, thank you very much.

We had no WiFi at all and it was not what we expected. We didn't really have freedom, couldn't even watch TV.

Ons het glad nie WiFi gehad nie en dit was nie wat ons verwag het nie. Ons het nie regtig vryheid gehad nie, kon nie eers TV kyk nie.

Clearly this was a family who did not look carefully at our profile. They arrived with a child under 12 and were expecting to use the kitchen facilities which are not available as we are not self catering. They stayed away one night and did not return, causing us a huge amount of anxiety as we were not informed of the situation. However, they were a nice bunch of folks who unfortunately had to live with no WiFi as we had a break in service for almost a week. We did notify them of the problem.

Tasteful. The hostess is very pleasant. The accommodation is neat and tidy. The breakfast is delicious.

Smaakvol. Die gasvrou is baie aangenaam. Die blyplek is keurig en netjies. Die ontbyt is heerlik.

158 on Marlin is. The owners Taki and Suki are very friendly and helpful. I was a little disappointed that the bathroom wasn't inside the room, but I probably should have read the finer details. The price was fair. Cintsa View, where my other family stayed, is just as great an option for a larger group of people.

Die eienaars Taki en Suki is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ek was bietjie teleurgesteld dat die badkamer nie binne die kamer was nie, maar ek moes seker die fyner besonderhede lees. Die prys was billik. Cintsa View, waar my ander familie oorgebly het, is net so 'n uitstekende opsie vir 'n groter groep mense.

Good overnight stay with very pleasant people. 158 on Marlin is sure to be a place to go back to. Suki Kyriakos received us very kindly and immediately made us feel at home. The breakfast she served us the next morning was excellent and a must book. The guest house is tidy and very well located, but be aware of the effect of load shedding on Chintsa. There are not many restaurants open in the evening when the power is out.

Goeie oornagverblyf by baie aangename mense. 158 on Marlin is verseker 'n plek om na toe terug te gaan. Suki Kyriakos het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en onmiddelik tuis laat voel. Die ontbyt wat sy die volgende oggend vir ons voorgesit het, was uitstekend en 'n moet om te bespreek. Die gastehuis is netjies en baie goed geleë, maar wees maar bedag op die effek van beurtkrag op Chintsa. Daar is nie veel restaurante oop in die aand as die krag af is nie.
