Disappointing stay. We were there for 10 days. Attractive house in close proximity to the main beach. Lovely big trees in the garden offering good shade. Stressful stay due to plumbing and waste drainage issues. The house needs maintenance. Problems with both doors going onto the patio side of the house made our stay unpleasant. Missing lightbulbs, loose taps in the downstairs bathroom, couldn't keep water in the basin as the plug did not fit properly. No plug for the bath, so unable to use it. Large property which we thought would be great for our active dogs, but the lawn was sparse and the ground was full of burrs and thorny weeds. There were piles of garden refuse which we needed to keep the dogs out of. Not being smokers, we did not appreciate the cigarette ends in the garden and in the plant bed on the verandah, which we ended up cleaning up. The washline had fallen over and was lying in the sand when we arrived. We lifted it up many times as it kept falling over with our washing on it. We eventually had to dig a hole and put the base in firmly.

Unreasonably difficult guest that I wouldn’t recommend hosting. The house is a beautiful original St Francis Bay property and still has all the original doors and windows which do require regular maintenance. The rollers do seize up now and then due to the sea air. St Francis Bay has serious water restrictions in place due to a long drought, hence no irrigation allowed and rather shower than bath. The loose tap in the bottom bathroom was a 30-second fix by tightening up a nut that had come loose. The garden is not full of garden refuse or weeds as stated. Thank you for pointing out the wash line which will be addressed shortly.

Will check reviews on next booking. The outside room, bedroom 4 with double bed/sofa's mattress was so thin and the room was full of mosquitoes. The house was full of spiders.

Sal met volgende bespreking na resensies kyk. Die buitekamer, slaapkamer 4 met dubbelbed/bank se matras was so dun en die kamer was vol muskiete. Die huis was vol spinnekoppe.

Sorry about the thin mattress in the outside room. It's the first complaint we have had about that. We will look into upgrading them. As far as mosquitoes are concerned, there were definitely a lot of mosquitoes around St Francis in general over that time, but we will however leave a spray for future use if needed. Anyone booking into Anchor Drift knows that it has a thatch roof and is very much part of the ambiance of St Francis Bay. With thatch, one does encounter some spiders, etc. Thank you for your feedback.

Jammer oor die dun matras in die buitekamer. Dit is die eerste klagte wat ons daaroor gehad het. Ons sal kyk na die opgradering daarvan. Wat muskiete betref, was daar beslis baie muskiete rondom St Francis oor die algemeen oor daardie tyd, maar ons sal egter 'n spuit vir toekomstige gebruik laat indien nodig. Enigiemand wat by Anchor Drift bespreek, weet dat dit 'n grasdak het en baie deel is van die atmosfeer van St Francisbaai. Met grasdak kom mens wel 'n paar spinnekoppe teë, ens. Dankie vir jou terugvoering.

Thank you for your complementary feedback. You were a pleasure to accommodate and left everything respectfully neat and tidy. Much appreciated.

Dankie vir jou aanvullende terugvoer. Jy was 'n plesier om te akkommodeer en het alles met respek netjies en netjies agtergelaat. Baie waardeer.

Very nice stay - we would, however, suggest the below. Needs braai tongs. Braai area needs a proper light and the sand around the braai is unpleasant. Maybe a few of those pebbles would help with the sand situation. Need steak knives - cutlery not in good condition and no decent knives. Maybe also an additional shower in the bath at the top bathroom.

Amazing hosts, superb location, sparkling clean. 5 stars from me. Richard, our host, and his daughter Louise were extremely easy to communicate with. Louise was waiting fir us to open up and show us around. The house is very spacious with everything we needed to have a wonderful weekend away. The garden was fenced, which gave the kids and our dog plenty of safe, outdoor space. We had a lovely stay and I would highly recommend Anchor Drift to anybody who wanted to have a relaxing holiday in St Francis Bay.

It was just a place were we slept. We were received by a very friendly owner Richard. We basically only slept at the house, as we spent our days & evenings in the company of my Canadian relatives that rented a house on the canals.

Peaceful, relaxing environment to enjoy a break away. Neat and clean accommodation with all the facilities for self-catering. Very quiet area, close to shops and beach.

Rustige, ontspannende omgewing om 'n wegbreek te geniet. Netjiese en skoon verblyf met al die geriewe vir selfsorg. Baie rustige area, naby winkels en strand.

It was a golf weekend. We were happy with location of the house. Close to the golf courses.

Dit was 'n gholf naweek. Ons was gelukkig met ligging van die huis. Naby die gholfbane.
